I mostly work in the residential field and I was recently asked to do a bit of work in a mechanics garage. They have installed a new car lift and looking at the existing lifts there is a J. Box on the ceiling with a piece of SO cord dropped down to the twistlock connector at the lifts motor. There is a strain-relief at the top where the SO terminates into the J. Box. I plan to copy this installation but I am a bit concerned about a couple of things. <BR><BR>1. I can't find in the code where SO is allowed in this situation. <BR><BR>2. This being a mechanics garage designates it as a Class 1 Division 2 setting (explosion proof required) looking up at the ceiling I see standard 4" sq. boxs... <BR><BR>3. I can run my new circuit above the ceiling in MC where I plan to come through the ceiling into an approved box and dropping my SO cord from there, can I run MC above the ceiling in a crawl space? <BR><BR>4. The panel is fully loaded with old GE breakers, there is an unused 3-pole breaker that I intend to use as a 2-pole breaker, can I do that?<BR><BR>Thank you
