13-114 Log #99 NEC-P13 Final Action: Accept
(695.6(E))
_______________________________________________________________
Note: This Proposal appeared as Comment 13-142 on Proposal 13-106 in
the 2007 Annual Meeting National Electrical Code Committee Report on
Proposals. This comment was held for further study during the processing
of the 2008 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. The recommendation in
Proposal 13-106 was:
Add “electrical metallic tubing”.
Submitter: Andre R. Cartal, Princeton Borough Building Dept. / Rep.
Princeton Borough Building Dept.
Recommendation: Please review and reconsider the proposal.
Substantiation: The Panel expresses concern that the EMT from the controller
to the pump should not be permitted as EMT does not have “sufficient
mechanical strength to prevent damage to the conductors”. However, 695.6(B)
Exception, does not restrict the use of EMT to supply the controller so where is
the logic that the inspector needs for enforcement?
