Google and Wa state Dept of L&I, their instalation check list answers my questions re: grounding etc.

NFPA 9.3 for starters, Duct systems for all wood or solid fuel burning
Appliances must, at a minimum, comply with the
Requirements of NFPA 89-M (Table 2-3).

This is basically what I said, only in a different way.
"At the start of my post, I said I was taking literary license. I did that because I do not believe that the OP has ever read or studied...

For some reason NEC treates a built-on-site home differently that a mfg home. In the end, either structure is basically the same, but according to Google searches NEC states the woodstove frame...

The plumbing is all plastic from the water meter into the house, I should know a I had to replace all the qest brand crap with glue together cpvc.. Even the gas line is buried pvc.

I'm more concerned about 'what if' rather than saving a few bucks a year.
I'm pretty sure the insurance carrier (foremost) is going to say "Oh that's nice, but no savings can be offered"
I'll...

Lightning is always a possibility, So I want to "play it safe" But I also want to make sure there is no code violations to deal with if a loss ever occurs.
The water heater is currently...

I have a ungrounded wood stove, should I make it a priority to ground the stove & flue?
Is there any Nec chapters I want to review?
Should I use a separate groung rod or can I use near by...

The house uses all copper except for the main feed from the utility, conductors are apx 5/8 inch, the ground lead, also aluminum appears to be #4 or about 3/8. 200 amp service.
I'll be using all...

My point exactly, It's one thing to run wires and another to do so and have the Inspector sign off on the project. The Nec2011 ebook provides a fair bit of information in areas I wouldn't have...

I am a strong believer that one needs to be self sufficient.
I'd rather learn how to do something than rely on (ie: pay) someone else.
A little knowledge goes a longway. I've also had a room...

I think you underestimate my abilities. This project was a walk in the park compared to wiring in a genset transfer switch, a new load center, wiring a hot tub, and rv power connection or replacing a...

After 45 minutes of reading the nec book I found the answer to the grounding rod question, 1 down a dozen more to go. Sheesh a simple yes/no answer from L&I would have saved almost an hour, ...

Lol, I'm sure a home owners would love the idea of me driving up to their house with ladder in tow climbing on to the roof and walking around.
I just downloaded a newer copy of the nec book, I'll...

I don't expect them to teach but at least they can share what they want to see in a install.
For example do they want a master cutoff switch, do they want a 4 ft, 6 or 8 ft grounding rod.

I'm sort of caught between a rock and a hard spot. Dept of L&I won't provide any assistance on what is an acceptable installation until after they come out an inspect the installation.
How the...

Thanks, I wasn't able to find a recent NEC handbook for reading the 2001 provided a fair bit of info, in some cases it referred to NFPA (national fire protection) documentation.
I initially...

The schematic provided from wholesale solar calls for a #6 ground wire.
This seems a bit excessive as the remaining conductors are #10.
Fwiw: Grid tied system using 13 250 watt panels connected to...

My numbers are estimates, based on the 11 kw oven/range I currently have installed.
But you are missing the point here. Code states to use a 40 amp service for your typical oven range. So why are...
-
I'm using your quote For ranges of 8-3⁄4 kW or more rating, the minimum branch-circuit rating shall be 40 amperes.
This probably covers 90 + % of 30 inch ranges made in the last 25 years....
-
I rest my case... 40 amp and #8
-
40 amp service & #8 is not a guess, it's clearly stated in the nec handbook.
However, you need to take the device ratings into consideration.
If the device requires a 30 amp service an existing 40...

NO, 40 amp service and #8 wire

I doubt the home has 208 volts, 208 is used in split phase wiring. A typical home and residential appliances are rated for 120 and 240 single phase.
Getting back to the question, a 30 amp breaker...
-
Actually if you connect a 208 volt appliance to a 240 volt supply, you are exceeding it's design specs, thus you'll be driving the heating elements harder and will shorten their life span. I suspect...
