What Article governs OCPD on Circuits Less than 50 volts? NEC 2011

[ClydeMaui]

I'm studying for Florida EC and came across the question asking which Article governs OCPD on Circuits Less than 50 volts.

How would I answer that?

Would it be 720 (Circuits.....less than 50 volts), 480, 240, there was one other .......for some reason my brain is not reasoning with the question.

I also "googled the question", but did not get a definite answer.

I have never quite understood what article 720 actually covers.

However, I don't see anything there that modifies the standard OCPD requirements found in other articles.

Could it be a trick question? OCPD is for current irrespective of voltage, isn't it? Could the answer be that the same article covers all voltages?

That's what I was going to say.

Article 240

240.1 Scope. Parts I through VII of this article provide the general requirements for overcurrent protection and over-current protective devices not more than 600 volts, nominal. Part VIII covers overcurrent protection for those por-tions of supervised industrial installations operating at voltages of not more than 600 volts, nominal. Part IX cov-ers overcurrent protection over 600 volts, nominal.
