I have a 277V 1000W HPS ballast permanently fixed above a fixture. The height of the fixture is adjustable by means of jack chain. There is a 10ft cord that is connected to the ballast by a factory non-locking attachment plug and is connected to the fixture by a factory non-locking attachment plug. So a plug is on both ends of the cord. The inspector wants a special strain relief on the cord. The cost of these special strain relief connectors is about 6000 bucks as there are over 200 of these fixtures. If the code does not require it then I have to try and figure out what the inspector is trying to accomplish. The cord would simply detach at either plug under a strain. Did I miss a code rule?
