The fees prescribed in this section cover the inspection of the supply branch circuit and the utilization equipment supplied therefrom and the control equipment therefor.
(a) (Amended by Ord. No. 171,185, Eff. 7/22/96.) Except where supplied by branch circuits rated over 50 amperes, the fees required by this section apply only to nondwelling occupancies. The fee for each motor, transformer, heating appliance, welder, rectifier, x-ray machine, storage battery system, infrared industrial heating appliance, cooking or baking equipment, studio effects lighting, and other miscellaneous equipment or appliances shall be given in the following table for the rating thereof:
(Amended by Ord. No. 180,868, Eff. 10/22/09.)
H.P., K.W., or K.V.A. Rating of Equipment | Fees |
Over 3 and not over 5 | $19.00 |
Over 5 and not over 20 | $29.00 |
Over 20 and not over 50 | $41.00 |
Over 50 and not over 100 | $76.00 |

(b) The fees listed in the foregoing table shall be required for all fixed equipment. Where fixed equipment is supplied by flexible cords to facilitate servicing or replacement, those fees shall apply to the receptacle outlet supplying the equipment. Those fees shall also apply for each receptacle outlet installed for the supply of portable equipment rated larger than three H.P., K.W., or K.V.A.
(c) For any equipment or appliance containing more than one motor, or other current consuming utilization components in addition to the motor or motors, the combined electrical ratings converted to K.V.A. of all utilization equipment shall be used to determine the fee. For the purpose of this subsection, one H.P. or one K.W. is equivalent to one K.V.A. The total ampere ratings of all receptacles installed on a factory fabricated wireway assembly for studio effects lighting may be used in computing the fees therefor. (Amended by Ord. No. 161,316, Eff. 7/7/86.)
(d) The fees for a change of location or replacement of equipment on the same premises shall be the same as that for a new installation.

(e) The fees for equipment described in this section which are temporarily installed for trade shows or carnivals shall be 50% of the amount shown in the fee table specified in Subparagraph (a) of this section. (Added by Ord. No. 151,218 Eff. 8/17/78.)
