Mr. Addiss,
I would also be interested in a solution.
Again, though, why is the architest/designer/engineer above the requirement of abiding by codes when they design such items , and then blame the problem on "THAT ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR" who is following the law if the local municipality had adopted such codes?
Why is it up to the electrical inspector to violate the adopted codes?
Is the inspector "suppose to" wear blinders when inspecting certain areas?
The "counter top" receptacles [NEC 250-52(c)] must have just appeared in the NEC yesterday!
