NEC 90.22: field examples
NEC 90.22 explained: field examples. Field-ready for working electricians.
I need to flag a problem before writing this post: **NEC 90.22 does not exist** in any edition of the National Electrical Code. Article 90 (Introduction) only contains sections 90.1 through 90.9:
- 90.1 Purpose
- 90.2 Scope
- 90.3 Code Arrangement
- 90.4 Enforcement
- 90.5 Mandatory Rules, Permissive Rules, and Explanatory Material
- 90.6 Formal Interpretations
- 90.7 Examination of Equipment for Safety
- 90.8 Wiring Planning
- 90.9 Units of Measurement
For a reference app aimed at working electricians, publishing a 700-1000 word post with "field examples" of a fabricated code section would be a serious problem. Electricians relying on Ask BONBON for code citations could quote a non-existent rule to an inspector, AHJ, or apprentice.
A few possibilities for what you actually want:
1. **NEC 90.2** (Scope) ... what the Code covers and excludes (one-and-two-family vs. industrial, communications, utility installations, etc.)
2. **NEC 90.4** (Enforcement) ... AHJ authority, special permission, waivers
3. **NEC 110.22** (Identification of Disconnecting Means) ... a real, frequently-cited section with strong field examples
4. **NEC 210.8** or **210.52** ... common GFCI / receptacle sections with lots of field application
5. A typo for **NFPA 70E** or another standard
Which section did you mean? I'll write the post immediately once you confirm. If this is part of a batch of auto-generated topics, you'll want to scrub the source list for other invalid citations before publishing.
