Article 400 – Flexible Cords and Flexible Cables

Based on the 2014 NEC^®

 “I recently saw a video Mike made explaining how he felt connected cords don't violate the "no cord through a drop ceiling".  I asked my inspector about doing this and she's willing to consider it.  I couldn't give her the exact reasons here on the job so she asked for a hard copy of how he determined his findings. Is that something you guys have available?”
