Hello,
It has been discussed here recenty that the City of los Angeles has basically banned the use of used or reconditioned molded case circuit breakers.
What I would like to know is this change and administrative change or one that is a New Standard code.
The code reads as follows. sec 93.0403 to read as follows:
" No used, reconditioned, or refurbished molded or electronic trip molded case circuit breakers."
The CA state Law provides that ammendments can only be made due to local climatic, geological or topographical.
The Express findings stated by the city of LA are as follows Section 93.0403 is an administrative amendment necessary to clarify the unaccepted reuse of certain used equipment.
So my question really is that is this a new code standard or is this an administative action.
Just recall there were several cities that banned the use of PEX and NM cable. Then when the state said that a city cannot make such changes unless one of the 3 express findings were met. Lo and behold those cities had to allow those methods to be used.
