Can anyone post some photos of protection they added to the rear side of a ground-mount array to provide "Guarding" of the open wiring so a fence installation may be omitted?
The NEC added the option of GUARDED to 690.31 in the 2014 NEC.
(A) Wiring Systems. All raceway and cable wiring methods
included in this Code, other wiring systems and fittings
specifically listed for use on PV arrays, and wiring as part
of a listed system shall be permitted. Where wiring devices
with integral enclosures are used, sufficient length of cable
shall be provided to facilitate replacement.
Where photovoltaic source and output circuits operating
at maximum system voltages greater than 30 volts are installed
in readily accessible locations, circuit conductors
shall be guarded or installed in a raceway.
thanks, shortcircuit
