Anybody else taking issue with this month's EC&M Illustrated "Catastrophe"?
Just finished reading this months EC&M (June 2013) and I have to take issue with Russ LeBlanc and his interpretation of the NEC. The first item in his Illustrated Catastrophes column (page 38) titled Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah illustrates how not to wire a doorbell transformer. Russ cites violations of Art 400 and 250. Sorry, but like it or not that transformer is cord and plug connected to a receptacle so the NEC doesn't apply. He might, however, be able to cite a violation of Art 400 as it applies to the LV secondary CL2 wiring as that appears to be zip cord that might or might not go through an opening and into the wall. Can't be positive since the bottom of the picture is cut off.
