NEC Help

[vplank]

I'm looking for guidance for reviewing/purchasing the appropriate NEC or NFPA regs, regarding means of disconnect on assembly equipment (in a manufacturing facility) and electrical drops (from ceiling of facility to ground level to supply assembly equipment).

Any help will be most appreciated. Thank you.

I believe you can view the National Electrical Code here:
http://www.nfpa.org/aboutthecodes/AboutTheCodes.asp?DocNum=70
but if you are not familiar with the layout it is easy to misread (actually it's easy to misread if you are familiar ).
You may want to ask specific questions here as there is a wealth of knowledge on this site.

NFPA70 (National Electrical Code)
^^ Legal requirement in most states
NFPA70E "Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace"
^^ Basis for OSHA electrical safety standards
NFPA79 "Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery"
^^ Industrial standard which includes assembly equipment in manufacturing facilities

Review all NFPA codes starting at:
http://www.nfpa.org/aboutthecodes/list_of_codes_and_standards.asp?cookie_test=1

OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K
