2 of 97 1/28/2016 2:30 PM Second Revision No NFPA [ Section No ] Scope. This article covers the installation of electrical equipment and wiring used in connection with cranes, monorail hoists, hoists, and all runways. Informational Note: For further information, see ANSI B30 ASME B30, Safety Code for Safety Standards for Cableways, Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, and Slings. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: CMP 12 Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Thu Nov 12 11:58:24 EST 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: The reference to ASME is correct. ASME develops the standards whereas ANSI accredits the standards. Correction to the B30 title is necessary to agree properly with ASME and the fact that it is a set of safety standards. Panel 12 does not accept that it is referring only to one specific standard (B30.21) as the PC suggests.

Live parts of the electrical equipment are suitably guarded to the requirements of (A), isolated, or insulated, so as to remove reduce the likelihood of inadvertent contact between a qualified person in the working space and live voltage with live parts operating at voltages greater than 30 volts rms, 42 volts peak, or 60 volts dc, and the equipment can be examined, adjusted, serviced, or maintained while energized without removal of this protection. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: CMP 12 Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Fri Nov 13 11:07:36 EST 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: The submitter of the Public Input No wanted to reference (A) to help clarify the term suitable guarded. Referencing (A) does not accomplish that intent. Section (A) addresses Live Parts Guarded Against Accidental Contact and providing isolation by location, partitions or screens, and elevation NOT isolated, or insulated for working clearances as addressed in 620.5(B). The removal of to the requirements of (A) eliminates the conflict.

Schamel, Duke W. Affirmative with Comment Cline, Scott SR (B) All of the editing seems appropriate, but, in order to remove a possible ambiguity, I think that it might be better to have added ac between 42 volts and peak. We all know that Peak should make everyone assume ac, but we also all know what assumptions do. I do not know if this might be an editorial change which staff is empowered to make.

Affirmative with Comment Cline, Scott SR (D)(2) The available short-circuit current is a calculated approximate value which cannot be transported over time. The only way to know its value, is to do a hazards analysis at the time work requires it. No safety standard should allow the use of a labeled value to establish safety parameters. The extreme complexity of making the calculations required to establish what is at best a guessed and approximate value makes the whole of the second paragraph a rarely to be complied with, dream concept which will only provide litigation value to the family of the poor injured/killed worker who counted on its validity.

37 6 of 97 1/28/2016 2:30 PM Holmes, Jeffrey L. Lottmann, Todd F. Schamel, Duke W. Affirmative with Comment Cline, Scott SR (A While the wording included in this SR is good, I am afraid that the exclusion of 250 volts, as (B) does include, is a huge mistake. People will want portable units, and they WILL require faster vehicle chargers - and these can only be 250 volt for dwellings. Not allowing them will force people to make (illegal) at-home conversions to whatever equipment is available. Should we have allowed them and required the receptacles to be GFCI protected? Absolutely by my way of thinking. GFCI protection for this group of receptacles is so common and cheap that I think it should be a requirement for all such dwelling receptacles, especially exterior ones. Goergen, Joel Good as is Kovacik, John R. CMP 12 missed an opportunity in SR3345 to clarify and correct the NEC to address actual products that are being used safely in the market today. By ignoring the concepts put forth in Public Inputs 3960 and 2391, and Public Comments 1199, 1075, 1481, 1534, 1722, the opportunity to address portable devices with a 240 V rating was missed. Portable products on the market today are rated 125V and 250V, outwardly identical except for the plug. The products are designed in similar fashion because the nature of their use is the same. Although these products are substantially similar, the NEC would require the 250V products to be fastened in place, without significant safety benefits. The concepts in the referenced public inputs and public comments addressed this inconsistency around the use of these products, but CMP 12 missed the opportunity to clarify and resolve this issue. Menig, Jeffrey S. There were 5 Public comments that were narrowly voted down by CMP 12 that wanted to add 250V to the portable definition. There are several manufacturers that have been selling 250V "Portable" EVSE's that are UL Listed and Labeled for several years. CMP 12 has now made the "Safe" devices no longer allowed by code. The purchasers of Electric Vehicles want to have the ability to charge their EV's in the shortest amount of time and charging with 110V portable devices does not accomplish that. A Chevy Volt takes 3 hours to charge at 220V and 8 hours at 110V. A Nissan Leaf takes 4 hours to charge at 220V and 21 hours at 110V. As the range of the vehicles increases, so does the charge time. I would like to point out that section 90.1(A) of this code states The purpose of this code is the practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. This code is not intended as a design specification or an instruction manual for untrained persons. Much of Article 625 dictates how an EVSE should be designed, built and finally installed. Further CMP 12 has taken it upon themselves to legislate what products are safe and not safe. The responsibility for product evaluation resides with the Underwriters Laboratory and the other listing agencies. If an EVSE is tested by a listing agency and meets all of the requirements of UL , then CMP 12 should not be deciding if the EVSE is safe or allowable to use.
