Short storyline:
★ 120vac line in the kitchen of a senior citizens home tripped.
★ It was built within the last 12 years.
★ It's in a city of a North Eastern part of KS
★ I work on commercial dish machines.
★Nobody cold find the breaker that tripped.
★ I found a panel with a single 20A breaker deep in the cabinet directly below a sink. (A clearance issue)
★ It feeds a direct line to a ice machine, and a Romex line to a Non-GFCI outlet 3-inches under the sink, and 4inches to the left, in a wood cabinet under the sink.
★ The cabinet is locked to prevent the residents from getting into the highly dangerous dish machine chemicals. (Mainly sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide with a squeeze of polyacrylic acid to stabilize it)
★ The outlet next to the sink is a GFCI
★ There are no labels as to a lack of equipment grounding conductors on the GFCI's. (Just info...)
★ My dish machine was supposed to be directly ran to a 10A beaker.* *By a qualified electrician.
★the short was "my" dish machine. It is irrelevant to me question and has been fixed.
Question #1: how many violations are present with these facts? (It won't upload my pictures) :0(
Question #2: what are those codes?
Question #3: did this have to be inspected?? Who paid who off to let this float through?(I guess that's #4, although a bit rhetorical)
End statement:
Thank you all for your answers.
I just try my hardest, I really do. I'm no inspector. Please don't criticize my lack of knowledge, or the usage of parentheses. :0) I don't know all the sub-clauses underneath the top layer of violations that I do recognize, or the grandfathered in clauses behind them.
I'm just an old dork who reads work-related articles before bed.
Thank you again.
