Dick:
I've got no problem responding, but before I complete a quiz, I always like
to make sure I am giving the correct answer.
We have seen this AHJ ask questions they have no right to ask, such as, are
you wiring your batteries in series, parallel or both? There is no
requirement as to how system voltage is achieved and sometime we change our
minds mid-project, so I decline to answer these questions.
We have also seen them be plain wrong on many issues. Most of the time I
know the correct interpretation and, if the correction request is valid, I
will modify my design. If I am being asked to correct something that is
already code compliant, I will politely refuse and provide
substantiation. Complying with unnecessary requests can be expensive and
sets a bad precedent. I like to interact the AHJ on a very professional
level and it's all about doing one's homework.

William,
No, I mean what is your problem with complying with the request, "Show the
number of existing circuits and/or the
disconnecting means for panel C". Why not just do that?

I too am mystifed. I sent a request for clarification but have not
heard back. It may be some kind of power trip as we have been at odds
over many issues. I will report back.
