When dealing with the gov'ment, I like to keep it always in writing for documentation. Asking to detail what the inspection will consist of in standards and how it will be measured is not unreasonable and gives you a chance at coming out OK.

This is it CSA = Canadian Standards Association

Inspector from electrical safety is most likely looking at this:

When the bureaucracy catches up with you, unfortunately You have two choices.
One. Pay the price and hope it works. The victims approach, just don't know where it will lead. Field Inspector could ask for Lab testing... all kinds of stuff you do not have, nor could afford, therefore shutting you down.
Two. Fight. This can get as expensive as above if you do not know what your doing.

To not be a victim you will have to learn the law as it applies to you. If you do not then it will cost you, the less you know the more it will cost.

TheCasualTraveler gave very good advice. Find others in the area with wind gen, see if they have any experience with this guy. Particularly his comment "(without offering suggestions)". The less you tell them the better off you will be. Everything you say will be used against you.

Verify the guy is from the city. Scams everywhere.

Ask inspector in writing to cite the code (or law) as he applied it here in witting (Proper citing will list the document name (number), page, paragraph). Often the inspectors do not know their own law they are operating under to do so or will cite something that does not apply.
Over 700 CSA electrical standards and electronics standards address everything from fuses and light bulbs to sophisticated equipment for control and laboratory use.
To say it must be CSA approved is like saying it must comply with the law without saying which law.
If inspector cits a shock hazard, by law (international) under 50v is below accepted shock voltage limit, 24v does not apply.

Show the CSA stickers on the inverters, may be the only place it needs to be.

Bruce S' diary is a nice example of what can happen if you play nice.
You can always play mean later.

Avoid fancy confusing dangerous sounding words.
What would you rather live next to?
"Windmill Battery Charger"?
or "wind turbine permanent magnet alternator rectified to DC for storage before inverted to high voltage AC for distribution in a residential dwelling"?
One has a better chance of getting fast tracked as simply a strange guy's hobby project.

I wish you the best of luck with this, and plan on checking on your progress since I am also planning on putting up a wind turbine on her 10 acres.  

I tried to down load some of the CSA documents, everything was $50/section.

Got me to thinking, the law is supposed to be accessible by the public, if charging for a copy then its not public.

USA standards are done that way. Like UL approval for manufactured goods.
When you build one of something or for your self you do not have to get UL approval for it. You do have to follow local codes here which are based on NEC (national electrical code) but not standards.

The brick (wall wart) to power my laptop has CSA on it along with others.

     Don't PO the guy. The best bet is always be nice and play a little stupid. Offer nothing, just listen.

     In my dealings with building inspectors I am often faced with this kind of stuff. Someone tells me I have to do something, I say "wow, no other way?" Often they will say no, then I just look at them. Don't say anything. The average person will become very uncomfortable and start mumbling, "well you could do this or maybe we don't need that", I just nod and listen, offering nothing and often he resolves the whole thing himself with nothing changing.

    If that doesn't do it then I often overwhelm them with info. And ask for more info that they don't have a clue about.
     Gee, the code your talking about is for 110 and 220 volt AC residential wiring but I'm talking low voltage DC. Does that mean an inspector needs to come out before I can jump start one car with the battery from another one? No? Whats the difference?

 Seems to me it would be an insurance issue if anything.

CSA is the equivalent of UL or CE or any other agency that makes sure that electrical equipment/devices are built correctly. i.e. looks for proper grounding, bonding, proper size fuse, proper wire size etc..

The "Inspector" referred above is probably from ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) i.e. the guy that would inspect any electrical renovations, new installations, alterations. Keep in mind that ESA is were you apply for electrical permits and once deficiencies (if any) are corrected gives the energisation permit.

His mandate is to make sure that equipment is CSA approved and installed as per the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Pretty well anything electrical in Ontario as to be CSA approved.

When equipment is not CSA approved as an alternative you can bring in a different division of ESA called Field Evaluation for a "Special Inspection" for the fee mentioned above. Once requirements are satisfied he puts his own sticker on it which is equivalent of CSA approval.

Think twice before you tell this guy to buzz off. Although rare he has the authority to get you disconnected from the grid if he feels your installation is unsafe. (It's like when a cop asks you to step out of the car, yes you can tell him to buzz off but...)

Surely in a industrialized country like the USA you have all of the same rules and regulations that you "should" abide by but just different names.

Just my long winded $0.02 but I deal with this on a daily basis.

The other possibility is it could have been an insurance inspection if you've applied for new or upgraded coverage recently.  If so your only option would be to change companies as insurers can pretty much put any conditions they want to in a contract.

More info is needed to really provide good comments.  Oh yes, are you living in an unregulated township?  If so the regulations your are dealing with are the national building codes which tend to be more general and more open to interpretation.  Regardless there is, if you figure the regs shouldn't apply to you, an appeal procedure both at the provincial and federal level.
