Is 620.51(B) saying a platform lift must be a separate circuit? I'm unsure as to why an inspector wants a separate circuit for a 3a trickle charged DC battery driven platform lift. EI says" elevator sub code wants it". I spoke to DCA elevator safety and was told they ASME and 620 are something something bla bla bla I didn't listen. The persons opinion was 620.51(b)
620.51 elevator

Elevator guys are more sensitive than fire alarm guys who are only slightly less sensitive than electrical inspectors. Talk to the one who you are best friends with.

Why didn't you listen if they were trying to explain??
620.51(B) is saying you cannot remotely close the disconnecting means and has not bearing on required circuits.
Is this constructed on site or manufactured offsite and installed like an appliance. Manufactures instructions?
I do not see it in ASME A17.2 either but I am not even sure it applies.
Manufactured and installed; comes cord and plug requires a 15amp circuit. Doesn't say dedicated in specs.
