augie47 Moderator Staff member Location Tennessee Occupation State Electrical Inspector (Retired) Sep 14, 2011 #2 Depends on what is included. If there is a control panel, Art 409 might well apply. If it's just a motor, pressure switch, starter and OCP, Art 430 probably covers it. If it plugs in, it's probably more a Art 210. (with parts of 430) Last edited: Sep 14, 2011
