610.12(a)

[AmeL]

Need help and suggestion on finding the product to comply with the 610.12(A).
Flexible cord used to power the collector, and needs a terminal fitting to go from cord to exposed wiring that ...
"has a separately bushed hole for each conductor shall be used wherever a change is made from a raceway or cable to exposed wiring"

As always appreciate your help and expertise

Were I inspecting, I think my first question would involve the use of the flex cord. On the surface, that appears a violation of 400.8.
That said, the most common fitting I see to address 610.12(a) is a weatherhead,

Use of cord

Use of cord

Thanks for reply Augie,
My exact thoughts on the use of the cord but looking into 400.7(5) Wiring of cranes and hoists is permitted. Am I wrong?

The cord has 4 conductors size 10AWG stranded copper.

Perhaps a case of semantics on all fronts.
When you speak of suppling power to the collector, I picture "fixed" wring and "assume" a violation of 400.8.
To me, the use of cord under 400.7(A)(5) {cranes and hoists} would be where flexibility is necessary (do to moving parts of the crane of jib), but that's one man's opinion
