by Joe T. My comment about the AHJ came from Section 90.4! Yes and that still does not allow the adding of rules by the AHJ. However MA has amended that section and grants even less power to the authority enforcing the Code (The town inspector) There is no authority of the local inspector to 'interpret' anything. MEC 90.4. Revise the first paragraph to read as follows:
90.4 Enforcement. This Code shall be used by the authority enforcing the Code and exercising legal jurisdiction over electrical installations. The authority having jurisdiction of enforcement of the Code shall accept listed and labeled equipment or materials where used or installed in accordance with instructions included with the listing or labeling. The authority shall have the responsibility for deciding upon the approval of unlisted or unlabeled equipment and materials, and for granting the special permission contemplated in a number of the rules.

Here in Connecticut, the AHJ often issues a temporary CO, just checking all the major points (everything not installed has been made safe, enough basic lighting, panels marked).
This way, the customer can move in and settle until the final inspection is done.

Matt: That's reasonable. This way, the customer can move in and settle until the final inspection is done. Please expand. What does the final inspection include? [This message has been edited by Joe Tedesco (edited 07-31-2005).]

It seems to depend on the town, but they seem to check that each and every receptacle works (the inspectors assistant goes around with a plug checker). All GFIs function; Light or switched outlet per room; appliances wired correctly (I was caught “hardwiring” a range and the inspector required a breaker lockout kit for it :-).

Joe you would really appreciate Maui county. They require an extra inspection once the sheetrock is up with all the plates off so the inspectors can see the devices and makeup before the faceplates are installed. (nevermind that the wirenuts are blocking the view). Then you can call for final after you go back to put the plates on . Since I am only an electrician/elec contractor I realize my opinion won't sway you but I'm on Iwire's side of the fence on this.

To Roger and Members:
My comment earlier was taken incorrectly. I always say that the electrician and contractor, who have the experience in the field make the best electrical Inspectors.
They have been there and have done that!
There are members here who know me for many years, and they were electricians and now wear the inspector's hat and thank me for helping them toward that certification.
They too have agreed that some of my preachings were worth while.
Just because I come on strong here doesn't mean that I think that I am better than anyone else.
I have many experiences, some that you will experience too if and when you were to perform electrical inspections.
So if I rattled any cages, I am sorry that it was taken that way.
I would be the first to come to your aid if some AHJ was trying to make life miserable for you, just let me know if I can help.
Now how about that beer!
