210 -4. Multiwirc Branch Circuits.
(d) Identification of Underground Conductors. Where more than one nominal voltage system
exists in a building, each underground system conductor shall be identified by phase and
system For tincy �rtist��Ilr�Gwnr�, > tl7i> ai���pl�oa rarely try naw>��rcrnaa, xit�r�s�ot� or ltnration .
The means of identification shall be permanently posted at each branch- circuit panelboard.
REASON FOR CHANGE: Recommendation for enforcement on existing installations.
210 -63. Heating, Air - Conditioning, and Refrigeration Equipment Outlet. A 125 - volt, single-
phase, 15- or 20- ampere -rated receptacle outlet shall be installed at an accessible location for
the servicing of heating, air - conditioning, and refrigeration equipment on rooftops and in attics
and crawl spaces. The receptacle shall be located on the same level and within 7 25 feet (22:136
7:62 m) of the heating, air - conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. The receptacle outlet shall
n be connected to the load side of the equipment disconnecting means.
REASON FOR CHANGE: This change correlates the 1990 National Electrical Code with the 1991
Uniform Mechanical Code and its more restrictive requirement.

300 -4. Protection Against Physical Damage. Where subject to physical damage, conductors
shall be adequately protected.
(d) Cables and Raceways Parallel to Framing Members. In both exposed and concealed
locations, where a cable- or raceway -type wiring method is installed parallel to framing members,
such as joists, rafters, or studs, the cable or raceway shall be installed and supported so that the
nearest outside surface of the cable or raceway is not less than 1 1/4" inches (31.8 mm) from the
nearest edge of the framing member where nails or screws are likely to penetrate. Where this
distance cannot be maintained, the cable or raceway shall be protected by penetration by nails
or screws by a steel plate, sleeve, or equivalent Ot eaGh Supip.ort location at least 1/16 inch (1.59

(a) More than Three Conductors in a Raceway or Cable. Where the number of
conductors in a raceway or cable exceeds throe, the ampacities shall be reduced as shown in
the following table:

Where single conductors or multiconductor cables are stacked or bundled longer than 24
inches (610 mm) without maintaining spacing and are not installed in raceways, the ampacity of
each conductor shall be reduced as shown in the above table.
REASON FOR CHANGE: To clarify the intent of applying d- rating factors.

685 -1. Scope. This article covers integrated electrical systems, other than unit equipment, in
which orderly shutdown is necessary to ensure safe operation. An integrated electrical system
as used in this article is a unitized segment of an industrial wiring system where all of the
following conditions are met: (1) an orderly shutdown is required to minimize personnel hazard
and equipment damage or. 1p9 , ;of : data; (2) the conditions of maintenance and supervision
assure that qualified persons will service the system; and (3) effective safeguards, acceptable to
the authority having jurisdiction, are established and maintained.
REASON FOR CHANGE: To comply with field requirements of engineers to prevent loss of data.
