Yes, the elevator door and shaft needs to be fire rated if it is to be accessed through a garage or if the elevator is to be categorized as a form of egress. Always contact your township official in the design phase as every township may have specific ordinance guidelines.

When are 90 minute fire rated doors required?

90 minute doors are required when building code requires a 90 minute or 2 hour assembly rating. For example, with IBC '06, 715.4, if a 2 hour wall is required, you can have a 90 minute door. The fire resistance rating depends on the type of building occupancy and component. For example, for fire barrier assemblies or horizontal assemblies, for occupancy of type A (Assembly), B (Business), E, F-2, H-4, H-5, I, M (Merchantile), R, S-2, the fire rating is 2 hours. For other types, say U (Utility) the rating is 1 hour and for H-1 and H-2 (High Hazard) its 4 hours. Since the issue is complex, consult an architect to determine a specific application.

Why isn't everything rated at 480 volts?

Not everything needs to be. Many standard wire insulations are rated at 600 volts, some 300, and some are more or less. It would be cost-prohibitive to have everything rated at 480 volts. Especially things designed to operate at 120 volts. Things rated for 480 but running at 120 would be physically larger than necessary, and therefore more expensive. If you're wondering why everything doesn't just run at 480 it's because it's not safe for residential applications.
