With the arc flash standards I don't think any inspector will be looking at a energized panel much longer. All electric will have to be off unless he can stay back and inspect outside the zone. This will also effect how we as contractors approach what we fire up for temporary power. My solution will be run all power through a temporary service untill final inspection. Here in Ohio OSHA is hitting ECs hard on arc flash regulations. An open panel on a residental job could cost $10,000 in fines.
