ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues ENT ALLOWED in MEDICAL FACILITY?

Trekkie, the reason I asked was your use of a Dash verses a Dot in your article and section references.

In the 99 NEC, HCFC was actualy allowed for Emergency Branch Circuits, this was probably by accident or bad wording in 517-30(c)(3)

oh. Just a force of habit I guess

Let's add a few ingredients to this post and see what happens.

Can you run ENT in a Nursing Home?

What about PVC wiring the goes in the concrete slab? Must it be EMT pipe? The double green wire grounding doesn't count as "redundant"?

In patient care areas they specify a metal wiring method suitable for grounding with a redundant ground wire. No plastic. Other places don't require redundant ground as far as I know. The acceptibility of the wiring method will be up to the other articles in the code.

nursing home is listed in the def. of a health care facility. The same rules apply, chap. 3 wiring methods in non-patient care areas, insulated EGC in metal raceways in patient care areas
