I am working on a project where the owner would like to use a power strip that has a local occupancy sensor as a means to shut off power at each work station. The occupancy sensor permanently mounts to the station and is attached directly to the outlet strip.
However, I am concerned that the use of power strips as a permanent installation is a violation of the NEC but I can not seem to find anything in the code that address these.
Does anyone know if the NEC address this situation? Are power strips considered 'extension cords'? Anyone else ever run into this situation?
Thanks for you help.
