i am also seeing a difference in opinion as to how the NEC is applied. i appears as you work in different areas of the country you get differring opinions on the code. what is acceptable in one area isn't always acceptable in another. what do you use as a baseline for construction purposes. what we are currently doing is trying to get with the engineer on the job site and have tehm help guide us. or we will contact the local inspector and discuss any issues we may have. this tends to get lengthy and time consuming. not to mention frustrating. what i am trying to do is set a standard and use it as a starting point for our construction methods. where i get hung up is the codes for industrial machinery and everything else. if i am bound to follow UL508A for my method of building panels and ocntrol enclosures, doesn't that qualify my product as an industrial machine?
thank-you
