phase monitor lights

[human7]

In industrial installations I have seen phase monitor lights tapped directly off of main power lines using smaller conductors without any additional branch protection. Is this permitted by the NEC?

According to 240.2 Tap conductors definition... and 240.21 (B)(1), I would say it is OK.

Also look at 408.52.

Most installations I have seen have small tapped conductors to a set of fuses and then on to the lights.

I would think the lights need an OCP somewhere in the circuit.

I won't argue with that. I rather agree with you.

It seems that cold fusion has the correct article.:smile:
