Do you really have rules for how many outlets (recepticals?) within certain spaces there HAVE to be - or is it more of an recommendation ?

In Sweden we have a lot of rules to follow for the certifiec electricians t ofollow, but number of outlets,height above floor etc is more of an recomendation/good practice, the rules are concerned more with risks/saftey issues than convenience.

Yes, appliance wiring is 6' so with the device half way between to receptacles you would not need an extension cord. In the kitchen appliance cords are 2' so the receptacle spacing is 4'. This discourages wiring run across sinks and ranges. This also pertains to new construction or remodeling/renovation.

Aha.

That is really smart!! And then it actually relates to safety where people are less likely to use extension cords.

On the other hand it of course makes construction more expensive and puts even more constraints on the new installation.

I assume that it only applies if you do extensive reconstructions, not if you only install an extra outlet or something ?

BTW: In Sweden running a loose cord within the wall, like in the video, is not accepted. PVC tubing is always applied here :)

sorry I posted this twice:

The extent of the remodel can be dictated by the local code official. Typically this would apply to a more extensive remodel, but in the US the code officials can interpret the code at their own discretion. i.e. We are in Maryland, each county can adopt different code years, 05, 07, etc. Annapolis MD is within Anne Arundel county and the city of Annapolis has stricter requirements than the county it is within.

The correct word would be linear feet ie: 12 linear feet. Otherwise good job.

@klas2k I would only remark that any residential sales of existing homes are required, here in America, to have electrical systems be brought up to current National Electric Code before that home is qualified to be sold

Oh yes, codes are very important and useful. There is a catch all code in our NEC book that allows inspectors to really mess with us. I don't know the code # but basically it states that work must be performed "in a clean workman like manner". In other words, it can be up to code but if the inspector does not like it, he can fail it. This has never happened to me. I make a point of being VERY nice to inspectors.
