He asking for load data sheet I took a 200 amp panel that feed two units and divided them. load between too was 100, off the meter, I am not submitting a load sheet I’ll give him the meter peak that show the 100 for the two, but he can pound sand
So he figured out he was wrong on the feeder tap issue now he thinks he is saving himself by asking for this load calculation?
When the inspector is incorrect ask for a code reference. Often when they cannot find it in the code book they'll say "I'll let it go this time".
well, it's up to you guys to make sure they're providing code references to their "fails." this will make them look up the code on what they think it is, and will end up making you both, better at knowing electrical code. i used to tell them that i had to have a code ref, so i could show the customer what we needed to do to make things a "pass."
that type of stuff is why people hire unlicensed handymen to do their work. because then, they don't have to deal with permits. feel free to tell his governing board this, and see if they don't correct him. Lord knows this common sense has not stopped the lobbyist meddling in the code book.
Ya but customers say inspection said this- I’ll tell customer what I think of them but customer think there god
Ya I use to do it politely but I kinda done with that especially with the state like I said third party inspector are all right
Where that might not work is with small jurisdiction where the inspector is basically the only person inspecting electrical. You may have a city superintendent or city council or similar to bring complaints to, but they likely are not going to be all that helpful when it comes deciphering what NEC actually says/means like higher up the chain persons of a state inspecting agency likely will be very knowledgeable and have years of experience using the NEC.
that is possible. but EVERYONE reports to SOMEONE. it's a requirement in our illusionary world we have to pretending like we're still in control of our own government. frankly, i'd be a bit more eager to talk to a small-town city council, rather than a larger city department of public safety baord.
If you are the only one with a complaint about something, those city council or public safety board members aren't going to listen as much as if there would be multiple people with the same complaint. If it is over electrical code interpretation by their inspector they likely not qualified to help with the interpretation, which means they likely need to refer to some other qualified party for help if they are handling it the way they likely should handle it. Referring to someone at State AHJ level might not be bad idea in many such cases? I know were I am State electrical AHJ still ultimately has control over local AHJ's. For most part they only provide the rules the locals must follow and normally are not involved with day to day operations, may somehow audit them periodically to see they are complying with the state laws, IDK?
hence the illusion...
