Can someone tell me if Industries are exempt from certain electrical inspections. Our local authorities are wanting to inspect everything that we do at our 2 million square foot facility, and are becoming a nuisience.

Here in Indiana industrial plants have always been exempt, maintenance at certain large commercial establishments and maintenance at trailer parks as where they have their own qualified staff can be allowed to do some inside work but nothing as far as working on new installs or services, other then changing fuses or a bad breaker.
It shows, too. I worked a couple weeks at Mittal Plant 2 and the only color wire they used was black. Even for grounding conductors. And that wasn't the worst of it. Our break trailer had a 100 amp main breaker panel and a big electric heater. We also had enough light for the 40 foot trailer and we also had a microwave and receptacles for charging batteries.
The panel was fed with about 100 feet of #10. Yeah, it got warm, but it was winter and wasn't expected to burn in half before spring.
I also saw hundreds of feet of RMC being held up by it's own conductors. That place was freaky scary.
H'mmmm, guess where we get many of our inspectors in this area from:roll:

Agreed. Of all the plants along the lake there, Mittal #2, also still known as LTV, seems to be the most freaky.
