mivey said:The conductors are outside, and are permitted to be bare as per 225.4.
310.2 does not apply because of 310.1 "these requirements do not apply...to conductors specifically provided for elsewhere..."
Pierre C Belarge said:I am curious, where in the wording of 225.4 does it permit the wiring method to be bare?
mivey said:398 is for wire in or on buildings and would not apply to the poles. This article is for knob & tube, not what the OP is talking about.
iwire said:As I read it the conductors can be bare anywhere but within 10' of a building or structure other than support poles.
Pierre C Belarge said:I would agree with this statement, if it were not for the wording in 310.2 exception...which uses the word "specifically".
Well that just ruined my thought.:grin: I thought one was concealed and the other not concealed. The stuff I have seen, concealed or not, looked about the same.iwire said:398 is not about K&T, K&T is coverd in 394.
iwire said:Pierre I am confused with that answer.
225.4 specifically allows bare open conductors to be run say from one building to the other providing the final 10' is covered or insulated.
