I am installing a new controller for 2 100hp motors that are mounted on a winch (direct coupled). When the maintenance guys are winding the winch, they will run the winch from a pendant (similar to a crane pendant control) with a speed pot, "jog up" and "jog down". There is a emergency stop on the controller/breaker cabinet within 20' and line of sight of the winch. The pendant cord will be 25' long. Is there a requirement for an emergency stop on the pendant? This was brought up during a project meeting. I have checked Articles 430.102, 610 and 670.4(B) and have no idea where this is coming from. Does anyone else know anything about this?
