In response to your question about Spoiled food . I Did not request SUB to disconnect power at either address The NEC: code Violations I have cited and included are not Trumped by a agreement With SUB . The Proof that the Mains need grouped together is clearly stated in the code references that I have included NEC :230 .2 and 230.72 . A remotely Readable Meter would not Satisfy the mentioned Code violations I have not seen your control Panel or Stated that your brand of meter causes fires . My Correction notices For this Project were Issued to the Electrical Contractor Bear Mountain Electric On permit SPR 811-2014-987 . Bear mountain Electric also purchased Permit SPR 8ll-2014-1091 For grouping the Meter Mains. Please work [-ith your Electrical Contractor To bring your project into compliance with The current Electrical code . If your Electrical Contractor Does not agree with the correction notices I have issued There is a set procedure for their company to Make an appeal. Please contact mountain Electric to resolve this issue Thank you Guy Dixon City s4r 726 3663 225 TIFTH STREET SPRINGFIELD, OR 97477 PHONE: 541.720.3753 FAX: 511.726.3676 www - s p ri n gfi e ld-o r. g ov 7124114 Electrical Inspector O REGON 230.1 ARTICLE 230 _ SERVICES frw".6i.al H;r}&f ao,** F i,rir *rrrrlu..giiiei ililierE?Bur.g Scfltcc t :rsal f,cnrii(iff: l*, ti(i -=t' lt;rfiQe Er;r'fi-"::,:{ t €+rr':cc E qutarncnl.-Ger+-rl f.#eicE, E{il!a$al!t,.,i]E lxfinnclrlf tlsant,'. :Ierr:t e: Eituirq u I ti- *qtg rfli tlrj rii 6'r€t"Ff ,i €r4e(af EiccedinE EEti \?xit- i{eilnrd Fait t Frit'a Fiit ii} 'F*rt 1' Fn{I.iri F.{:l'{lt I4;ia'"rfl{t [-iit$cilirr;+Cgiri*: firi-t €":rs-+e t4l rair<reea. trr" ioir"*i"e ri;p;'ihJi'b. t k.n *her. the poslibil ity of backfeed exists: (s)d Pari ii :.Jiiltii Fari lll ii{n_t ,{t fiY{+$d L=l Fi:lo gertlr* i;rii E-'rr'$.r.rn6B5i fr+:r1,1 ;,i *. - riir, $.ti!;irit ili.irlli simra.trml: $':r ;;:,:. uIir;:,:I* :niJ{r-,Ji:: Exr r"i:i* sTii}*lfiil-.rlei:€d li=-rrr_dir:E!
