Are the following attached pictures installed properly according to the NEC? If not, where in the NEC would I find the facts so I can bring it to my superiors attention.

Thanks,

If the install falls under the NEC in both cases are likely a violation of 110,3(B). You would need to check the manufacturers technical data to see if either item was listed for that use. Doubtful either is acceptable.
If , as suggested, it is part of equipment wriing then it goes back to the listing on the equipment.

It is hard to say but if what you are showing is part of a piece of listed equipment as another poster suggested, the listing would cover what is allowed. I personally doubt any listing would allow this but I suppose it is possible.

If it is something someone cobbled up on site it is hard for me to see how it is NEC compliant.

Having said that, it does not appear to me to be all that serious of a violation if it is a violation. It is a pretty common thing to see this kind of thing and I just don't get real worried about it. There are more important things to fix first. Down the road maybe someone is working on it and they fix it, but there are no doubt far worse things there that need fixing.

I agree on the first one, I seriously doubt that ANY cord cap is listed for more than one conductor and in addition, there will be a maximum SIZE of conductor that it can handle, so two conductors would likely exceed that.

On the second one, the DC drive itself appears to be NEMA 1, so the cord grip used on the cable coming out of it would be fine if listed for CORD. That APPEARS to be a cable clamp for NM or MC cable however, so if it is, then that too would be a 110.3.B violation.

It looks like there are two cords in the connector, a yellow one and a black one. I know of no cord grip suitable for more than one cord.
