When used as service equipment, a panelboard (load center) must be ______________________ that is suitable for use as service equipment, 230.66. If the panelboard (load center) contains the main service disconnect, it must be clearly marked ____________________________________, 230.70(B).
The NEC is the only code reference used for electrical installations of all types of occupancies including dwelling for physically challenged persons. True or False?
In order to wire a post light, a homeowner purchased some single-conductor cable that was marked as suitable for direct burial in the ground. A separate equipment grounding conductor to the post light was not carried. Instead, the bottom of the metal post, buried 2 ft (0.6 m) into the ground, was used as a ground for the post light. The inspector “red tagged” (turned down) the installation. Who is right—the homeowner or the electrical inspector?
Explain.
