Which branch of the NEC covers equipment installation?

The branch of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that covers equipment installation is Article 400. This article specifically addresses the requirements for the installation of flexible cords, cables, and various types of equipment. It details the necessary safety measures, performance standards, and installation practices that must be followed to ensure that electrical systems are safe and comply with regulatory standards.

This focus on equipment installation means that it provides guidelines for how to properly set up and use equipment in a safe manner, ensuring that all aspects of electrical installation adhere to safety regulations and operational guidelines. Understanding this article is crucial for anyone involved in electrical installation and maintenance, as it helps ensure compliance with operational safety standards.

Other articles listed deal with different subjects, such as conductors (Article 200), special occupancy requirements (Article 600), and emergency systems (Article 700), which do not specifically address general equipment installation in the same way as Article 400.
