<br />amperes.
<br />604.3 Electrical system hazards. Where it is found that the
<br />electrical system in a structure constitutes a hazard to the
<br />occupants or the structure by reason of inadequate service,
<br />improper fusing, insufficient receptacle and lighting outlets,

<br />6. Manual and magnetic motor controllers.
<br />7. Motor control centers.
<br />8. Alternating current high -voltage circuit
<br />breakers.
<br />9. Low -voltage power circuit breakers.
<br />10. Protective relays, meters and current

<br />accordance with the provisions of the International
<br />Building Code.
<br />Exception: Electrical switches, receptacles and
<br />fixtures that shall be allowed to be repaired where an
<br />inspection report from the equipment manufacturer
<br />or approved manufacturer's representative indicates
<br />that the equipment has not sustained damage that
<br />requires replacement.
<br />SECTION 605
<br />ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
<br />605.1 Installation. Electrical equipment, wiring and appli-
<br />ances shall be properly installed and maintained in a safe and
