I had an inspection yesterday at a facility that we added some new 208 volt and 480 volt circuits. All my permit was for was to install power to the disconnects. After workign at the facility the owner wanted us to hook up his equipment, so I did not get an inspection when we were completed with my contract work. I got an email for the owner stating that the check is in the mail and he did not have the funds to pay us to hook up the equipment. He was going to take care of this on his own. So I called for my final inspection. When the inspector came out to the job site for the inspeciton he failed my inspection because equipment was hooked up and not on the permit. He also failed it since the owners equipment is not UL listed. The owner has just moved his facility from one location to another. The equipment is 10-15 years old and in good shape. He has an air compressor a dust collector and a few other pieces of equipment that he uses to test other equipment. He says that the company that he bought the equipment from is no longer in business and he can not get UL listing for these. He says there is roughly $500,000 in equipment and he can not go out and buy new equipment. So I have two questons.
1. Can an inspector fail my inspection for work that others completed that was not on my permit but connects to equipment that was installed on my permit?
2. What can be done about UL listing of equipment that has been in the owners name for 10-15 years and all he as done is switch locations?
Thanks Jim
