Field marking of generators for permanent installations is not necessary, but does no harm. Field marking of rental units or portable generators that are used in multiple applications may or may not be accurate. If the NEC is going to require field marking it should also require verification of the indicated marking prior to application. Ode, M. The last sentence in the Panel Action text should be moved to the last sentence of the Panel Statement as follows: "CMP-13 does not accept the proposed requirement for marking the location of the generator bonding which may be inaccessbile in some cases." since it is not part of the actual text to be inserted as text into the NEC Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 2932 )
3 Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 16 : 2 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 2643 ) Brown, J. The panel's action does not meet the submitter's intent and this proposal should have been rejected. The inclusion of overload in the section title does not address his concerns for short-circuit protection. The term Overload does not need to be included in the title since the present title Overcurrent Protection already encompasses overload protection, as the submitter of this proposal has stated. Little, L. This action is not necessary and is confusing a well defined term. The term "overcurrent" is defined in Article 100 and clearly includes "overload." Adding the term "overload" to the section title does not add clarity since the existing title is "overcurrent." Combining these two terms for a new section title "Overcurrent and Overload Protection" infers that overcurrent protection is not overload protection. The submitters proposed revision was directed at adding "short circuit" into (A). How does adding the term "overload" into the section title meet the intent of the submitter? Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 1158 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (New) (Log # 425 ) Little, L. For correlation with the actions taken on proposals throughout the NEC, the reference to "600 volts" should be revised to "1000 volts." Ode, M. While I agree with the Panel Action, the existing text has an errata that should be fixed as part of the revision in the proposal. In the last sentence, the word "and" should be changed to "through" read as follows: The higher horsepower rating of Table through Table shall be used whenever the generator selection is between two ratings Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: Exception (New) (Log # 502 ) Little, L. For correlation with the actions taken on proposals throughout the NEC, the reference to "600 volts" should be revised to "1000 volts." Ode, M. See my comment on Proposal Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 480 )
4 3 Little, L. The action to accept in principle should be modified as follows: Disconnecting Means Required for Generators. Generators shall be equipped with disconnect(s), lockable in the open position, by means of which the generator and all protective devices and control apparatus are able to be disconnected entirely from the circuits supplied by the generator except where all of the following conditions apply: (1) The generator is listed. (2) The driving means for the generator can be readily shut down, rendered incapable of restarting and is lockable in the OFF position in accordance with (3) The generator is not arranged to operate in parallel with another generator or other source of voltage. Informational Note: See UL 2200 Standard for Safety of Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies. The action to accept in principle proposal will permit the installation of a standby generator without a disconnecting means installed at any point from the generator terminals to the equipment supplied. A means to simply shut down the driving means for the generator, such as a diesel engine, is all that will be required. The panel action to accept proposal is based partially on UL 2200 which mandates a means to stop the driving means, prevent restarting and requires this means to be lockable in the OFF position. Not all generators are listed. The above modifications are needed for the safety of all installer/maintainers. It should be noted that OSHA does not permit an emergency stop button to be used to lockout electrical equipment. See CFR (b)(2)(ii)(B). If a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) has listed such a device for lockout/tagout, it may be considered by OSHA as an acceptable means of lockout/tagout. The reference to correlates with the action on proposal a Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # CP1304 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 501 ) Ode, M. This proposal should have been a reject instead of an accept in principle since Proposal 13-16a deleted Section Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (New) (Log # 2461 )
5 4 Caron, D. The panel statement does not address the submitter's substantiation. Large generators, arranged to operate in parallel to serve loads in hospitals and other occupancies, are very common. The conductors, controls and equipment required to parallel the generators, including the electrically operated circuit breakers and the common bus in the paralleling switchgear, should be defined or recognized in some way in Article 445 as a system. Rules for applying ground fault protection (700.6(D)) and selective coordination (700.27) are often misapplied, or as the submitter has indicated, cannot be applied Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 16 : 2 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (New) (Log # 3364 ) Czarnecki, N. This proposal seeks to add GFCI protection to all 125V generator outlets without any substantiation that an issue exists at all levels. In order to establish a functional GFCI configuration on the generator, the generator is forced to be of the bonded neutral variety. Therefore, this proposal would have the effect of eliminating floating neutral generators used to power structures, non-separately derived standby systems, and transfer switches for non-separately derived systems. Eliminating such equipment will not enhance safety, but obsolete safe infrastructure already in place. Enhanced safety has not been accomplished and potentially compromised with users defeating the system by removing grounding connections to find a means to get power on in their home. Note: Supporting Material is available for review at NFPA Headquarters. Degnan, J. The submitter did not present any new information regarding the different safety issues associated with portable generator grounding that wasn't available in 2008, when this same proposal failed to gain the required acceptance of the panel. Paulsen, S. While I agree with the intent to provide additional personal protection I also feel that this now a product standards issue. The standard for generators should be updated to include this requirement. When I read the proposed Rule it could imply to add ground-fault circuit interrupter protection to existing generators as well. This could result in certified generators being modified in the field and thus voiding the existing certification Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 16 : 2 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 3302a ) Rodriguez, A. The primary function of the conductor presently defined as an "equipment grounding conductor" is actually a bonding function. The grounding electrode conductor grounds systems and equipment. Accepting this change will help increase usability and understanding of the associated requirements. The existing term and the associated terms grounded and bonded are frequently misunderstood and misused by both new and experienced NEC users.

7 5 Spina, M. Similar proposals have been presented in the past and have been rejected. Reasons given often relate to cost, significant changes in documentation required, or the fact that knowledgeable people know what this conductor is used for. Cost and documentation changes should never be an argument where safety is concerned. Further, not all electrical practitioners are knowledgeable in the main intent of this conductor. There is no justification for retaining an incorrect and potentially hazardous electrical installation just because we have used this definition for many years. The intent of the proposed change is to provide a descriptive name to a construction element that has resulted in much misunderstanding with possible hazardous operating conditions in electrical installations. The use of the term grounding implies that grounding is its principal function. Although grounding may be desirable, providing an effective fault current path (i.e. bonding) is and should be the emphasis. There are many who feel that a connection to a water pipe (which may or may not be a good ground) meets the needs of equipment grounding. There are two conductors described in the Code performing the same function but named differently. The bonding jumper is a short conductor that insures the electrical integrity of enclosure to raceway. The longer conductor, intended to provide a low impedance path to the source, is named a grounding conductor instead of its real function as a bonding conductor. Technically, the definition in Article 100 may be adequate for Panel members and those that teach. Practically, the definition is confusing if the terminology does not fit the function performed. The equipment bonding conductor, as it should be called, provides its primary function whether or not it is grounded. For a grounded system, it is grounded because the system is grounded. For an ungrounded system, it is grounded to limit the voltage due to a lightning strike or contact with a higher voltage system. Changing the name will assist in educating electricians into the why they are installing a conductor that needs to be continuous all of the way back to the source Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: xx (New) (Log # 2996 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: xx (New) (Log # 3007 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: xx (New) (Log # 3008 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: , Informational Note (New) (Log # 3009 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 2241 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: Cell (New) (Log # 2989 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: Container (New) (Log # 2990 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: Electrolyte (New) (Log # 2991 )

9 7 Little, L. Further modifications to this section should be considered. The following proposed revisions were in a proposal not received by NFPA staff that was developed by a joint effort of the NEC Task Force of the Technical Correlating Committee and the IEEE Stationary Battery Committee. The section is retitled and subdivided as follows: DC Disconnect Methods (A) Disconnecting Means. A disconnecting means shall be provided for all ungrounded conductors derived from a stationary battery system with a nominal voltage over 50 volts. A disconnecting means shall be readily accessible and located within sight of the battery system. (B) Remote Actuation. Where controls to activate the disconnecting means of a battery are not located within sight of a stationary battery system, the disconnecting means shall be capable of being locked in the open position in accordance with Section (C) Busway. Where a DC Busway system is installed, the disconnecting means shall be permitted to be incorporated into the busway. (D) Notification. A label shall be installed on or adjacent to the disconnect containing the maximum available short circuit current. The label shall be placed in a conspicuous location near the battery if a disconnect is not provided. Informational Note: Battery equipment suppliers can provide information about short circuit current on any particular battery model (A) requires remote activation for disconnects serving ITE rooms. The disconnect serving the ITE room must be capable of being locked open to prevent the remote actuation from occurring when it will jeopardize safety of personnel. DC busway is common in large UPS installations in which there are multiple strings of batteries. Each string is connected in series to create the necessary dc voltage and each string has a disconnecting means &/or overcurrent protective device. The strings are connected in parallel to a common dc bus which may also have a disconnecting means. The individual string disconnects allow manual disconnecting so that maintenance can be performed on a redundant battery string while the remaining battery strings support the load. It also functions as an OCPD to prevent the energy from other strings from feeding into a faulted cell in one string. The disconnect on a DC busway system allows for a single point of shutdown for the entire dc supply. The stored energy in a battery system is a potential hazard to personnel maintaining the system. The labeling requirement attests this hazard and aids in determining the arc-flash protection boundary and required PPE Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 52 ) Ode, M. In the last sentence in the Panel Statement, change the word "in" to "with" for clarity Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 620 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 16 : 2 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (A) and (B) (New) (Log # 1076 )
10 8 Little, L. The proposed revision to require that the disconnecting means be installed "as close as practicable" is enforceable. The term "practicable" with reference to distance is used throughout the NEC and has been enforced by AHJs for decades. This proposed revision mirrors the present requirement in (H), which requires overcurrent protection to be installed as "close as practicable" to the battery terminals. Spina, M. A) (H) permits overcurrent protection for battery conductors to be installed as close as practicable. Inclusion of a similar statement here would harmonize the requirements. B) NFPA 70E-2012 Table 130.7(C)(15)(b) Hazard/Risk Category Classifications and Use of Rubber Insulating Gloves and Insulated and Insulating Hand Tools Direct Current Equipment requires determining the available arcing current to select PPE necessary for protection of employees. he arcing current depends on the maximum short circuit from battery system. Without knowing what the available short current is, employees have no way of selecting required PPE for protection from the arc flash hazard. The only way to determine the maximum short circuit available from the battery is from the manufacturer. The optimum time to obtain this value is during the initial installation. Without this information, proper sizing of disconnect switch may not be feasible. This requirement for posting of short circuit current for batteries is similar to the requirements in for service equipment to comply with and Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 2998 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (C) (Log # 2999 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (A), Informational Note (New) (Log # 53 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (C) (Log # 119 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 16 : 2 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (C), Informational Note (New) (Log # 3001 ) Degnan, J. The note provides valuable information and should be left in. While the panel statement is true, applying it universally to the NEC would result in the removal of many informational notes. Little, L. The panel statement is incorrect. The proposed informational note is designed to inform the code user that additional space may be required. Where adequate space is not provided to permit the hoisting, removal or replacement of batteries, serious safety concerns exist Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (C)(1) and (2) (New) (Log # 3000 )

This proposal should have been accepted. The panel statement to reject agrees with the proposed text. The panel states that a requirement for illumination of batteries belongs in Article 480. The panel also agrees that luminaires should not be located directly above batteries Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (New) (Log # 2242 ) 13-48a Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (B) (Log # CP1300 ) Caron, D.

The submitter did not provide the proposed text or wording in the recommendation in this proposal in accordance with 4.3.3(c) of the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects. NFPA rules require the wording to be added or revised and how the text in the NEC should be revised. Residential fire pumps are already covered by Article 695 in the NEC.
12 Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: On-Site Standby Generator (Log # 1271 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (A)(1) (Log # 497 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (A)(1) (Log # 611 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (C)(1) (Log # 549 ) Caron, D. The panel action, the new text in 13-48a (695.1(B)) and new text in 13-55a, partially meets the intent of Proposal Transfer equipment in the main electric room of a building that is part of a multibuilding campus-style complex, can manually or automatically switch from a feeder supplying the building, to a back-up feeder within the main electric room. A single feeder to the pump room would be considered a reliable source because of the back-up feeder by NFPA (4). The panel statement is not consistent with NFPA 20 language in that NFPA 20 would not require an additional alternate source to the pump room, as required by 695.3(C)(2). Ode, M. The last sentence in the Panel Statement (The Panel Action on 13-48a meets the intent of the submitter) is incorrect. Proposal 13-48a deals with a clarification of Article 695 coverage of the installation of pressure maintenance pumps and transfer equipment upstream of the fire pump transfer switch. Proposal deals with feeder sources for multi-building campus-style complexes a Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (F) and 695.3(G) (Log # 3532 ) Caron, D. See my comment on Proposal
13 11 Czarnecki, N. Add the following to 695.3(F): Overcurrent Device Selection. An instantaneous trip circuit breaker shall be permitted in lieu of the overcurrent devices specified in 695.4(B)(2) provided it is part of a transfer switch assembly listed for fire pump service. Currently, the NEC only permits the use of an instantaneous trip circuit breaker if provided as part of a listed combination motor controller as specified in (C)(3). The operating characteristics of an instantaneous trip circuit breaker lend themselves very well to the overcurrent protection permitted between the fire pump power source and the fire pump controller or the fire pump transfer switch. Such overcurrent protection is sized to provide only ground fault and short circuit protection for the fire pump motor circuit. It does not provide motor overload protection. Overload protection for the fire pump motor is provided by the circuit breaker in the fire pump controller. This arrangement prevents opening of the overcurrent protective device permitted between the fire pump power source and the fire pump controller or the fire pump transfer switch in the event of a motor overload. If this overcurrent protective device were to open, it may not accessible for immediate resetting and thus, render the fire pump motor inoperable. If the fire pump motor experiences an overload condition causing breaker tripping, it is desirable to have the fire pump breaker trip because it is easily located and reclosed to allow attempts to restart the fire pump motor during a fire event. Fire pumps can be temporarily distressed and one or more attempts at restarting can result in continuous running of the pump motor if the overload condition no longer exists. Instantaneous trip circuit breakers do not provide overload protection which is the required performance for the overcurrent protection permitted between the fire pump power source and the fire pump controller or the fire pump transfer switch. The magnetic trip setting of an instantaneous trip circuit breaker can easily be adjusted to provide the operating characteristics for overcurrent devices as specified in 695.4(B)(2). More importantly, an instantaneous trip circuit breaker does not need to be sized as large in amperes as other protective devices already permitted. Such oversizing is necessary to prevent their overload tripping characteristics from overlapping those of the fire pump circuit breaker. It is recognized that an instantaneous trip circuit breaker is intended to be a factory installed product. This is ensured by including the requirement that it shall be provided as part of a transfer switch assembly listed for fire pump service Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (B)(2)(a) (Log # 1530 ) Ode, M.

The assertion that NFPA20 does not allow for the alternate method of overcurrent protection for transformers, simply because it does not specifically address the issue, is unsupportable Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (C)(2) (Log # 1532 ) Czarnecki, N. The assertion that NFPA20 does not allow for the alternate method of overcurrent protection for transformers, simply because it does not specifically address the issue, is unsupportable Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (C)(2) (Log # 1673 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (A)(2)(d)(1) (Log # 1118 ) Ode, M. The Proposal did not provide any technical substantiation for the change from 2 inches of concrete in the existing NEC text to 4 inches of concrete. UL does not list concrete by itself for a fire rating so any UL fire rated assembly would involve a complete assembly of building materials, often including concrete and other materials. There are many different factors that can affect heat transfer, other than the thickness of concrete. Pre-stressed concrete has a different heat transfer ratio than lightweight concrete, steel reinforcement within concrete will affect heat transfer, and the type of aggregate used within the concrete will also affect heat transfer. The NFPA Fire Protection Handbook states the following: Reinforcing steel can also affect the amount of heat transfer that can occur within the concrete floor or wall." Concrete has a low thermal conductivity and a low thermal capacity. One of the more significant factors in determining the thermal characteristics of reinforced concrete is the type of aggregate used in the concrete and can vary throughout the United States. Concrete in direct contact with earth will have a different heat transfer than concrete installed as a wall or floor ceiling installation for multiple floor locations. Moisture content of the concrete will affect heat transfer. Furthermore, lightweight concrete has much different heat transfer rates than regular, reinforced, or prestressed concrete. The submitter could have provided a Fact Finding Study on the different types of concrete that could be used, the recommended thickness, and addressed the variables with the amount of heat transfer for each application so the Panel could act on the technical merits for this change, rather than just guessing at a depth of concrete. The 2-inch concrete thickness has been used for many NEC cycles to provide physical protection with some limited protection from heat transfer and should not be changed without proper technical substantiation for this change.
15 Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 16 : 2 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (B) (Log # 10 ) Degnan, J. While test data shows that 2" of concrete fails to protect when subjected to a fire for 2 hours, fire isn't the only consideration. In some egress scenarios, concrete encasement may offer physical protection that would prove more valuable than a system only designed for 2 hours fire. Ode, M.

The submitter s substantiation states that EMT with set screw connectors would not be an acceptable method of providing a GF return path and would require a separate EGC. However, under EMT is judged to be an acceptable (FMC is required to have listed fittings per this section, no mention of EMT) EGC and no material was presented to show the inadequacy of EMT as a GF return path.
16 14 Czarnecki, N. The substantiation contains an incorrect reference to electrical metallic tubing (EMT) with set-screw fittings as an example of a raceway that is not capable of conducting sufficient ground-fault to open the overcurrent protective device. The Georgia Tech research study on grounding referred to in the Soares Book on Grounding validates that EMT with set-screw fittings and installed in accordance with the NEC is a proven equipment grounding conductor in accordance with the requirements of Article 250. Effective February 1996, UL 514B, the Standard for Safety for Conduit, Tubing and Cable Fittings required that all EMT fittings be subjected to a current test to determine if the EMT and the interface between the EMT and the fitting can effectively carry fault current, in order to permit operation of the overcurrent device and terminate fault current flow. In order to carry a UL listing, EMT fittings must pass this test. Article 358 (Electrical Metallic Tubing) requires the use of listed fittings. Degnan, J. If vibration from the pump compromises the ground path offered by the raceway, and a subsequent pump motor ground fault occurs, its possible to energize the motor frame. Other than this limited scenario, the entire ground return path would need to be examined, not just the portion between the controller and the motor. Little, L.

There is no requirement that the generator be rendered incapable of restarting. There is no requirement that the device used to stop the driving means and to prevent restarting be capable of being locked in the open position must be modified before this action is acceptable in any form. See our proposed solution and statement on Proposal Savage, Sr., M. The submitter's concerns are adequately covered throughout the NEC in various Articles, and this requirement would eliminate the ability to provide Lock Out/Tag Out protection for servicing the system. Caron, D. For clarity, the article should be rewritten as follows: (6) Outdoor Generator Sets. An outdoor housed generator set shall be equipped with a disconnecting means in accordance with (6)(a) or (6)(b): (a) A disconnecting means, in accordance with , mounted on or within the generator enclosure and located within sight of the building or structure supplied.

25 Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 2255 ) Caron, D. Proponents of selective coordination do not seem to have any concern about coordination of low level ground faults. Ground faults are the most prevalent fault in the field; exponentially more prevalent than high value short circuits. This fact is documented in IEEE literature. Because of the pervasiveness of ground faults, Article and require ground fault protection of equipment for services/feeders over 150 volts and 1,000 amperes. Article requires a second level of ground fault protection as well as selectivity with the upstream ground fault device. There are many requirements in the Code for ground fault circuit interrupters. The majority of the ground fault protection requirements apply to the normal power system. Due to these requirements, over the years, manufacturers have developed the technology to design a complete system that coordinates low level ground faults from service entrance equipment to lighting branch circuits, yet Article 700 explicitly does not require selectivity for these common faults at all, just indication Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 765 ) Caron, D. The Panel agreed in the 2010 ROP that devices in the normal system are outside the scope of Article 700 and reaffirmed this position in this Panel Statement. The scope of Article 700 is clearly defined in 700.1: The provisions of this article apply to the electrical safety of the installation, operation, and maintenance of emergency systems when the normal electrical supply or system is interrupted. The additional text is accurate and necessary and it provides clarity to help alleviate misinterpretation Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 1062 ) Caron, D. The language in Proposal is consistent with the 2012 NFPA 99 document for hospitals. The NFPA 99 committee deliberated this issue thru two 3 year code cycles. As many are aware, at the end of the first code cycle, the entire document was rejected and sent back to committee. There were many items in the 2009 version of NFPA 99 that caused the document to be rejected, not just the selective coordination issue. In the final document, accepted in 2012, there were many changes made in order to get consensus from the community. However, there was overwhelming consensus within the committee to keep the intent of selective coordination as originally written in This is one of the few items that did not change from the rejected 2009 version to the accepted 2012 version now in publication. Part of the reason the performance criteria was added to NFPA 99 is Panel 13's refusal to offer any relief from the extreme interpretation of the selective coordination requirement. There are many instances where relief to the strict interpretation is necessary, such as extensions to existing systems, large systems with multiple generators, etc. NFPA 99 took matters into its own hands and provided their own relief. Who will be next?? What other special interest group will seek relief from the NEC requirements for this, or any other issue?? To avoid the many special interest groups from providing their own relief from this requirement, Panel 13 should craft language in Article , and to make it clear that relief is available for special installations.
26 22 Ode, M. The submitter did not provide any data on the results of a longer fault delay. The effect on the electrical equipment of a longer duration arc fault is a major concern for emergency systems and no technical substantiation has been provided in this proposal with this critical data. The submitter did not show any data on the fault current level below the 0.1 second limit where the circuit breakers or fuses may not be in the selective area. This proposal would reduce the level of safety by limiting the types of overcurrent that would need to be isolated to the nearest upstream device. Requiring selective coordination down to only 0.1 seconds will cover only overloads and a few minor phase-to-phase and some ground faults. It will not cover many arcing faults, the most prevalent type of short-circuit, as might be caused by dropping a screwdriver, and, of course, it won't cover heavier bolted faults. Faster-acting, current limiting devices, either circuit breakers or fuses or a combination of both can be used to effectively create selective coordination Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 16 : 2 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 1566 ) Caron, D. See comment on Proposal Olney, P. With respect to the panel action, I disagree with the panel action. There are many jurisdictions where there is no plan review process for electrical installation. The installation of selective coordination by a qualified person only may leave some installations in jeopardy of failure by the AHJ. Does the nature of a master electrician make you a qualified person? There are many times the design is completed with the help of equipment manufacturer's for there equipment and may not know the whole layout of the electrical system or alternate power sources. Having a licensed professional engineer lay out the system helps AHJ ensure it has been done properly Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 18 : 0 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (Log # 2256 ) Eligible To Vote:18 Affirmative: 17 : 1 Abstain: 0 Not Returned: (D)(1)(5) (Log # 1114 ) Ode, M.
