(B) Unfinished Studded Partitions: On November 2, 1963, the State Electrical Board ruled that when unfinished studded partitions are in place in residential basements, indicating that the enclosed areas are intended far rooms, such enclosed areas shall be considered as rooms. The wiring, including receptacle outlets as required by Section 210-25(b) of the National Electrical Code shall be installed before the wiring of the building is approved. (C) Supporting Partitions: When a residential basement is not divided into separate rooms and only an unfinished supporting partition is in place, at least two (2) outlets shall be installed in such supporting partition, facing the area on opposite sides of the partition. (D) Utility and Storage Spaces: The requirement that receptacle outlets be installed within six feet (6') from any wall space in dwelling type occupancies (Section 210-25[b] National Electrical Code) does not apply to hallways, bathrooms, utility rooms, laundry rooms, furnace rooms and storage spaces. The number of outlets in these areas is optional, but adequate branch circuit capacity must be provided for lighting and for all electrical equipment to be installed in such areas without the use of extension cords. (E) Separation of Buildings by Fire Walls: In general, the National Electrical Code permits only. one service to a building. (Sections 230-21 and 230-2) Article 100 of the National Electrical Code defines a building as "A structure which stands alone or which is cut off from adjoining structures by fire walls with all openings therein protected by approved fire doors."

Aluminum conduit will not be approved for this purpose unless approved braces are provided to relieve the conduit of horizontal strain. Guy wires will not be approved for this purpose. (H) Installations at Over 600 Volts: Due to the many misunder- standings and misinterpretations of the National Electrical'Coc requirements for conductors and service disconnects, etc., on installations of over six hundred (600) volts, it has become necessary to require that all installations of voltages over six hundred (600) volts that are customer owned or op- erated must be submitted for prior plan approval to the Electrical Board representative in the area in which the installation is to be made.
