Hi,
I accept the fact that the code is not worth the paper it is written on unless there is someone out there who accpets it as being the NATIONAL STANDARD for electrical INSTALLATIONS and then adopts it as it's own. This is the intent of the NEC to be accepted as the NATIONAL STANDARD. I realize that in Alaska I need a headbolt heater and that in Florida you could not even find one (other than some snowbirds). I do not have a problem with citites or counties adding their requirements BUT if it is in the CODE I do not agree with messing with that. As you said the NEC is based on knowledge and experience from many folks so I think that although I do not always understand the reason behind some of the articles, I accpet the fact that I may not have the whole story.
I really do not have a problem with someone saying.."this is a city or county ammendment to the code" but do not say that "THE CODE DOES NOT ALLOW IT PER 250.24(A).
I always do whatever the AHJ says because they are the final word.
I see where your coming from though.
Thanks for the replies all.
-regards
Mustang
