Hello to all,

Noticed something today here at the plant. A run of 3" ridgid coming from a mcc to a 130hp motor goes through a hole in an I beam then ninetys up to the motor itself. There is a nice weld bead that circumfrences the conduit. Looks like a violation of 300.18 (B). In this paragraph though, it goes on to state the following:

"unless otherwise specifically designed to be or otherwise specifically permitted to be in this code"

Would the "specifically designed" statement be refering to an engineering design call that might have been made to allow this type of install to happen?
