So I was just involved in a partial walk-through with our Fire Inspector (not the final inspection, just a courtesy visit to give us time to correct anything). As the resident electrician I was worried when he warned us that the State Inspectors (OH) are starting to look closely at Extension Cord usage in temporary attractions. I always make sure my extension cords are grounded and that they are in good shape. Talking with some theater friends I was told that they are going to start restricting extension cords to a single cord from outlet to device (no stringing multiple ones together to get the 20 feet you need) and at the same time though you are not allowed to have more than 5 feet of slack on the end! So in other words you are limited to custom length cords!
I also have been told that in the Haunted House they like to see extension cords kept under 5 feet! Now that is a "like" to see and not a requirement so who knows.
The Inspector was impressed with our new Low Voltage Lighting and control system, and even mentioned that he had never seen one before. LOL He did spend some extra time looking at it but was impressed and really liked the fact that we are moving that direction.
So to ask a question, how are your inspectors feelings toward extension cords?
