Do all electrical cables and conduits enter boxes from the side or bottom?
Cables and conduits entering from the top allow condensation to drip into electrical contacts. The result is accelerated deterioration and risk of extraneous voltage problems, electrical shorts, or premature equipment failure. Corrosion can make circuit breakers non-function. • Is all electrical equipment equipped with a separate grounding conductor? The NEC requires a separate grounding conductor (bare copper or copper with green insulation) for all electrical equipment. The grounding conductor must be extended to the service entrance grounding bus. Improper grounding increases the risk of electrocution and extraneous voltage. • Are all lighting fixtures of an enclosed, gasketed, watertight and non-corrosive design? Incandescent lighting fixtures must have a non-metallic, corrosion resistant boxes and screwed-in-place gasketed globe covers. Fluorescent lights must have gasketed covers. All light fixtures must be designed to be watertight. • Is a UL approved lightning protection system
