2023 Code
I have an inspector saying a feeder panel in a detached garage requires an SPD. He's citing 242.14(B). The way I read that is IF you install an SPD you CAN locate it anywhere on the load side of the first OCP. No where does it say SHALL BE PROVIDED like it does in 230.67. Also, it's a garage and I thought the intent of SPD's was for a dwelling/living space. Thoughts?
