I will be proposing a change to 320.30(C) to mirror the language of 330.30(C).
The change in the 2005 from the 2002 makes MC cable "secured and supported" where run horizontaly through bored holes, however 320.30 now considers AC cable to be "supported" and not "secured" under similiar conditions. This would require that a person put some sort of "staple, cable tie, strap, hanger or similiar fitting" every 4.5 feet in an effort to comply with 320.30(A). This creates an unneeded burdon on the installer.
I really have no technical substantiation, other than I think panel 7 simply missed it.
Your thoughts?
BTW: I know the chairman of panel 7 quite well, and I fired off an E-mail to him regarding this. I'll let all of you know what his response is.
