I am hooking up some industrial screw press machines that need to be feed from a junction box above the equipment.
I know article 400.12(1) says flexible cord cannot be used for fixed wiring, but the second sentence in article 430.6 says “Where flexible cord is used, the size of the conductor shall be selected in accordance with 400.5”. Does this mean that I can run flexible cord (SOOW for example) to the motor, from the above j-box, or would I have to use FMC or LFMC?
