18.110 Electrical Inspection.

(1) Procedure. Upon completion of the wiring of any building or before any wiring is to be hidden from view it shall be the duty of the person, firm or corporation doing the same to notify the Electrical Inspector and the Inspector shall inspect the installation two business days after such notice is received. If, upon inspection, it is found that such installation is fully in compliance with this chapter and does not constitute a hazard to life, limb or property, he shall approve the same and authorize concealment of such wiring or connection for electrical service. If the installation is incomplete or not strictly in accordance with this chapter, he shall issue orders to the person, firm or corporation installing the same to remove all hazards, and make the necessary changes or additions within 10 days. Concealment of electrical work before inspection shall constitute an offense punishable in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

(a) Prebuilt/Prewired Homes. Concealed electric wiring in and for a permanent factory built home will be accepted, provided a wiring diagram for said home and a certificate attesting to the fact that the wiring conforms with the Wisconsin Administrative Code, Electrical Code, Volume 2, is presented to the Electrical Inspector at the time of application for an electrical permit. All wiring at the building site shall comply with this chapter and shall be done by a licensed contractor or a journeyman.
