Okay, I understand. You're dealing with a California AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) and encountering a situation similar to one described in a 2014 thread by "charlie b" regarding NEC (National Electrical Code) applicability, likely in the context of kitchen equipment for a restaurant.To help me understand and offer more relevant assistance, please provide more details about your specific situation: What is the specific disagreement with the AHJ? What part of the NEC is in question? What type of kitchen equipment is involved? (e.g., fryers, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, exhaust hoods) What is the AHJ's argument or interpretation of the NEC? What is your interpretation of the NEC, and why do you disagree with the AHJ? Is there anything about the specific installation location or type of restaurant that might be relevant? (e.g., new construction, renovation, mobile food facility, historical building) What is the mutually acceptable solution you arrived at? This can help understand what was considered reasonable. What specific parts of the NEC are you referring to? (e.g., Article 210, Article 220, Article 430, Article 680) Does this involve listing or labeling of equipment?

The more information you can provide, the better I can help you analyze the situation and offer informed perspectives. I can also help you research relevant NEC sections, California Electrical Code amendments (if any), and potentially relevant interpretations or case studies.Understanding the context of the original "charlie b" thread is helpful. I'll try to find that specific thread to get a better sense of the original issue. However, your specific circumstances are what matter most. Flag for review
