ORDINANCE N0. 1609
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 210-7 OF THE NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE, 1971 EDITION, AS ADOPTED BY ORDI-
NANCE N0. 1409 OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA
On November 29, 1973, �ohn H. Stender, Assistant Secretary
of Labor, deferred enforcement by OSHA of that portion of Section
210-7 of the National Electrical Code, 1971 Edition, with reference
to Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters on construction sites. Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupters presently approved are designed to inter-
rupt electrical power if a ground fault current of 5 milliamperes or
greater develops in the circuit of equipment being supplied by 15
and/or 20 ampere receptacles. 5 milliamperes is too low a value
for application at consiruction sites and this results in "nuisance"
tripping of the electrical power. This part of Section 210-7 of the
National Electrical Code has not been enforced as enforcement would
have curtailed 80$ of our construction, therefore should be deleted
from the ordinance until such time as OSHA repeals their deferment.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA
DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1 . That the last paragraph of Section 210-7 of the
National Electrical Code, 1971 Edition, as adopted by Ordinance
1409 is hereby repealed.
Section 2. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full
force on the thirty-first day from and after its passage.
