Hello,
I am a facility electrician at a hospital and we recently had a 250v dc battery charger replaced. The installing electrician ran a 1/2" conduit to the charger for the ac supply line. He drilled a hole through the perforated vents in the top of the charger to accept a 1/2" cast fitting and installed the emt here. I know this violates many codes and looking for help in citing the NEC excerpts that this installation violates.
The charger is a painted surface and the cast connector just has a standard cast locknut which does not maintain electrical continuity. But what about actually installing the conduit into the group of vented holes?
