wiring shall meet the present requirements of this Code. All extensions to existing
wiring shall be in accordance with the standards of this code. When wiring for any
added load is installed in a building the services shall also be revised and sizes
increased to carry the new total load.
Additional circuit breaker capacity shall be added to protect the
added load with provisions for at least one spare circuit. Where existing wiring
is in apparent safe condition and less than 50% of the existing wiring installation
