Name That Electrical Violation : NEC _______?

[jar546]

One of the low voltage contractors did this on this brand new construction. Specifically, we are talking about the low voltage tie-strapped to the electrical raceway.

 

[Mr. Inspector]

300.11(C)(2) Cannot use a raceway for support of class 2 conductors unless solely for the purpose of connection to the same control circuits of the wires in the conduit.

Yes, I agree. Nice!

is the flex conduit allowed to go through the foundation?

Easy fix in this case, move the cable tie from the EMT conduit to the strap that holds the LFNC/LFMC. Not the LFNC/LFMC itself, that would be the same violation.

Sure, I'm not aware of any limits on wiring methods that go through a hole drilled into concrete after the fact. Which I infer we have here, given the spalling of the white finish.

There are limits on what wiring methods can be embedded in a concrete pour, as well as limits that could apply based on what's on the other side of the concrete. Eg if it's going through the concrete to a wet location (outdoors, or in the earth), then the wiring method would need to be wet location rated.

Name a section in the code where an outlet is required in every commercial building and each commercial occupancy that is required to have a minimum 20 Amp branch circuit that does not supply any other load. This outlet does not need to have a receptacle, be used or connect to anything at all, and can just have a blank cover over it.

Is this an unrelated question? 600.5?

Takes a lot of nerve to do something like this!!! It’s stuff like this that keeps inspectors up at night.

Is that a wet location or just damp?
