Well now,, that is a little different then moving an outlet for a back splash now isn't it:grin: .

I would never pass that, can't think of a good enough reason, it is almost a life safety issue...

Just my 2 cents...

I agree. Its also a little different than having a piece of equipment protrudeing 8" into the working space instead of 6". I think there are times when both those examples would be acceptable.

But this is more like giving special permission to use #14 on a 20A circuit. The only reason I see for not upsizing the motor is a few $$$$.

I am with you guys on your statements. The issue is not in my control, if it was I would be upsizing the motor....

Don't know many AHJ's that would hang themselves out to dry or the town or city counsel get into what could end up in court due to a safety issue. With the motor tripping the proper heaters, it can be a number of different things. Such as improper pulley size, improper v-belt, low voltage, and there are surely others also. IMHO :smile:
