I am trying to defend the use of wire nuts as a "permanent Connection" method and I need to be able to site some standard or reputable document to support my case. Can you help ?
We connect our systems to the 120V AC source inside of a metal 4x4 box using wire nuts as the connection. A third party has evaluated this and said it does not meet the definition of "permanently connected".
I feel that if it is good enough for the wiring in homes and industries that it should qualify as permanent. Manufacturers of wire nuts refer to them as a permanent connection.
My problem is I need to present a standard or document to support my case. Can you help with a reference?
Thanks,
Ela
