Started at a new factory not to long ago. Trying to get educated on Buss Drops. Specifically wiring methods from bus drop through plugs to a machine. Machinery is meant to be semi-permanent (interchangeable eventually). They're using bus drop cable and bus drop clamps at the ceiling. Just not sure about using plugs for feeders to semi-permanent machinery and how your supposed to enter the machinery with bus drop cable. Is a cord grip enough or are there specific cord grips for this type of installation?

Last place I worked at used conduit everywhere.

Where can I find the relevant codes for these types of installations in the NFPA 70 or NFPA 79.
