What are the installs made by electricians that at first seem to be fine when performed but then you figure out that there was a variable situation that changed the context of the code rule and it becomes expensive error to fix.
I am talking about installations that we do every day (repeatedly) and then there is a special situation that overrides the typical application of code rule.
For example;
using mc cable for parallel runs and then reading 250.112 (F)
using lb conduit body and then pulling 4 conductors
not taking into consideration of PoCo requirements
installing pvc in concrete ground floor slab for dentist chair and then reading 517.13 (A)
I am sure there is a lot of those errors when dealing with special occupancies and equipment situations.
Do not forget about 'high cost of repair/if i only thought twice' ratio.
