Re: Where do I find electrical codes for MN
If the NEC is used in your area there should be one available at your town or city hall to look at.
You might try the library or you could buy one (about $50.00).
The area to look for NM codes is article 334 however general rules are located in other articles.
How about providing some details and perhaps we can help you out.
Most times the code is not retroactive, but I do not know the local rules which the inspector might have at his disposal.

S/he wants MN and you give him/her NM.
Too funny.
Minnesota vs. New Mexico.
I know you meant NM-B.

Well most of the reply still stands true.
I was impressed that a one time poster used (I thought) the proper term for Non Metallic Cable instead of the generic Romex.

What city does this concern? Statewide, the 2002 NEC is in effect for new construction. Existing installations that were installed to the code of the time are ruled by local ordinance which may be available on the web, some only on paper.

Re: Where do I find electrical codes for MN
My first question is, ?Why is a City Inspector looking at your house in the first place?? Are you remodeling, and is the Inspector looking at your plans? If so, the Inspector has the authority to require anything you touch to be brought up to current codes. At the other extreme, if you had the Inspector over for dinner and he just happened to notice something that violates today?s codes, I don?t think he would have the authority to demand a repair. What is going on at your house?
