Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: CMP 15 Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Tue Dec 08 16:17:08 EST 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Statement from CMP 1: SR 24 addresses Panel 1 s response to PC 1063. The panel accepted the submitter s comment applicable to that section. Statement from CMP 2: CMP-2 supports consistency in moving from 50V to 60V. Statement from CMP 3: Less than 50 volts AC is normally not considered to be a shock hazard based on NFPA 70E. Less than 100 volts DC is not a shock hazard except at the ampere levels of 0.5A and higher, depending on the resistance of the body and the length of time of the connection to the body. Since current levels are not provided, a safety level of less than 50 volts DC is conservative and usually considered to be safe. Pulsating DC is not taken into account but is covered in Table 11(B) in Chapter 9 of the NEC. Statement from CMP 4: The hazards associated with 50V AC and 60V dc are in conflict with many safety standards that set limits of 60V DC and 30V ac for accessible circuits in dry locations. The existing code language with nominal 50V allows for temporary voltage variations above and below 50V. Article 706 addresses energy storage and limits specific to that application would be best addressed there. Statement from CMP 5: The submitter s substantiation is incorrect. There is no provision in Article 200 to limit these requirements to AC systems only. Each of these requirements applies to both AC and DC systems. Limiting this to AC systems only would result in no identification requirements for grounded DC conductors. NEC Panel 15 Final Ballot Results - Page 2 of 62-01/28/16

of 3 1/25/2016 12:10 PM Statement from CMP 11: The current wording of 430.232 and 430.233 includes both AC and DC, changing this would limit it to only DC or AC. Statement from CMP 12: The Panel voted to develop SR-3319 which revised section 669.6(A) and (B) to change the not exceeding voltage to 60V. Statement from CMP 13: The Panel had one Global PC to address: PC 1063. They responded by creating SRs 3614, 3615, and 3616 on specific sections that were addressed by the comment. Statement from CMP 15: Although this code section indicates a 50 volt threshold, and this section is a requirement for both AC and DC systems, the requirement will be reworded to recognize that for a given circuit or system involved in most instances the circuit or system is rated as EITHER 50 volts AC OR 60 volts DC. Over the past decade numerous code articles have been placed into the NEC as a result of the increased resurgence of DC systems. These systems, similar to their AC counterpart, have mandated code requirements that must be met when the system voltage exceeds a certain threshold. For years the system threshold for many of the requirements has been kept at the 50 volt level. While this is appropriate for AC systems, it can create confusion to the user of the document when applied to 48 DC batteries during charging where a float voltage is common at 58 volts. The float voltage can vary significantly depending on battery chemistry, battery construction, and the actual ambient temperature. This voltage may be constant for the entire duration of the charge or can fluctuate. Some 48 volt DC systems stay above the 50 volt threshold for 99% of the time for applications such as telecommunications, UPS systems and emergency lighting. This elevated voltage may create confusion since various AHJ s might see 58 volts and mandate that a code rule must be followed since the 50 volt threshold has been increased. CMP-15 recommends to the Correlating Committee that other NEC Sections similarly affected by Global Public Comment PC 1063 be revised to correlate with the method indicated in this Second Revision to preclude rating misinterpretation.

of 58 1/28/2016 2:32 PM obtained to use parenthetic references between specific older and current NFPA 99 terminology during a transition to current NFPA 99 terminology in the National Electrical Code. [Ref. Minutes of NFPA Technical Committee on Fundamentals (HEA-FUN), August 13, 2015, Item 7] This written permission is documented in the attachments submitted with Public Comment PC 1175. Accordingly, the 2017 NEC will use the transitional terminology, as follows: Critical Care Space (Category 1 Space), General Care Space (Category 2 Space), Basic Care Space (Category 3 Space), and Support Space (Category 4 Space). CMP-15 intends to modify the 2020 NEC to use the transitional terminology, as follows: Category 1 Space (Critical Care Space), Category 2 Space (General Care Space), Category 3 Space (Basic Care Space), and Category 4 Space (Support Space). CMP-15 intends to modify the 2023 NEC to use NFPA 99 s terminology directly, as follows: Category 1 Space, Category 2 Space, Category 3 Space, and Category 4 Space. Relocation of the informational notes, in accordance with Public Comment PC 470, improves readability by immediately following the requirement to which each informational note applies. Although NEC Style Manual 2.6.1 applies solely to Exceptions, Code-Making Panel 15 recommends to the Correlating Committee that similar guidelines be added to NEC Style Manual (2.4.3) for Informational Notes as well.

I still think that the use of this language in conjunction with the category terminology is dangerous and could lead to a hazard or a liability for the installer. It will be too easy to take room names such as general surgery, general procedure room, or general care and miss apply the category level resulting in patient injury or death. NFPA 99 eliminated the room names because of the potential confusion and applied a risk category based on the risk to the patient within the room or space. To wait until 2022 to complete this change makes no sense. NEC Panel 15 Final Ballot Results - Page 10 of 62-01/28/16

of 58 1/28/2016 2:32 PM Second Revision No. 4216-NFPA 70-2015 [ Section No. 517.13 ] 517.13 Grounding of Receptacles and Fixed Electrical Equipment in Patient Care Spaces. Wiring in patient care spaces shall comply with 517.13(A) and (B). (A) Wiring Methods. All branch circuits serving patient care areas spaces shall be provided with an effective ground-fault current path by installation in a metal raceway system, or a cable having a metallic armor or sheath assembly. The metal raceway system, or metallic cable armor, or sheath assembly shall itself qualify as an equipment grounding conductor in accordance with 250.118. (B) Insulated Equipment Grounding Conductor Conductors and Insulated Equipment Bonding Jumpers. (1) General. The following shall be directly connected to an insulated copper equipment grounding conductor that is green clearly identified along its entire length by green insulation and installed with the branch circuit conductors in the wiring methods as provided in 517.13(A): (1) The grounding terminals of all receptacles other than isolated ground receptacles (2) Where metal receptacle boxes are used, the performance of the connection between the receptacle grounding terminal and the metal box shall be equivalent to the performance provided by copper wire no smaller than 12 AWG. [ 99: 6.3.2.2.2.4] Metal outlet boxes, metal device boxes, or metal enclosures (3) All non current-carrying conductive surfaces of fixed electrical equipment likely to become energized that are subject to personal contact, operating at over 100 volts Exception No. 1: An For other than isolated ground receptacles, an insulated equipment bonding jumper that directly connects to the equipment grounding conductor is permitted to connect the box and receptacle(s) to the equipment grounding conductor. Isolated ground receptacles shall be connected in accordance with 517.16. Exception No. 2: Metal faceplates shall be permitted to be connected to the equipment grounding conductor by means of a metal mounting screw(s) securing the faceplate to a grounded outlet box or grounded wiring device.

of 58 1/28/2016 2:32 PM Zip: Submittal Date: Thu Nov 05 14:28:27 EST 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: The revision to 517.13(B)(1)(1) to exclude isolated ground receptacles is essential to correlate with 517.16(B) as modified by FR4260 and to avoid defeating the isolated grounding feature of an IG receptacle by miswiring per the 517.16 reference to 517.13(B). The title of 517.16(B) is revised since requirements encompasses equipment bonding jumpers in addition to equipment grounding conductors. The NFPA 99-extracted requirements has been relocated from 517.16(B)(1)(2) to the Sizing requirement in 517.16(B)(2). The connection point requirement in revised 517.16(B)(1)(2) is no longer that sizing requirement but clarifies the distinct connection point portion of the requirement. Consequently, the term "metal receptacle boxes" in revised 517.16(B)(1)(2) is revised to be consistent with the term "metal outlet boxes" or "metal device boxes" used in the National Electrical Code NFPA 70 (e.g., "Article 314 Outlet, Device, Pull, and Junction Boxes..."). As 517.13(B)(1)(2) was revised in FR4261 and in accordance with 90.3, it was ambiguous whether 517.13(B)(1)(2) might permit equipment bonding jumpers to be sized as copper 12 AWG for 60A, 100A, and 200A receptacles rather than to be unequivocally equivalent to copper 10 AWG, 8 AWG, or 6 AWG, respectively, in accordance with the minimum sizes of 250.122. The requirement is modified for clarity and usability. The grounding conductor s insulation, not the copper conductor itself, should be green. Exception No.3 is modified to clarify that either 517.13(A) or (B) may be used; it is not required to do both. Editorial: Use term patient care spaces in place of patient care areas for consistency throughout NEC Article 517 and with NFPA 99.

Seabury III, James C. Shelly, Bruce D. Todd, Lawrence E. Affirmative with Comment Talka, Donald J. The criteria for the sizing of the bonding between the box and receptacle is taken as an extract from NFPA 99. It basically states that the bonding must be equivalent to a number 12 conductor. This is a performance specification as would be expected in NFPA99. 517.13 still lacks a method to determine compliance to this performance specification.

Informational Note No. 1: This type of installation is typically used where a reduction of electrical noise (electromagnetic interference) is necessary, and parallel grounding paths are to be avoided. Informational Note No. 2: Care should be taken in specifying a system containing isolated ground receptacles, because the grounding impedance is controlled only by the grounding wires and does not benefit from any conduit or building structure in parallel with the grounding path.

Essential electrical system components shall be located to minimize interruptions caused by natural forces common to the area (e.g., storms, floods, earthquakes, or hazards created by adjoining structures or activities). Installations of electrical services shall be located to reduce possible interruption of normal electrical services resulting from similar causes as well as possible disruption of normal electrical service due to internal wiring and equipment failures. Feeders shall be located to provide physical separation of the feeders of the alternate source and from the feeders of the normal electrical source to prevent possible simultaneous interruption. Informational Note: Facilities in which the normal source of power is supplied by two or more separate central station-fed services experience greater than normal electrical service reliability than those with only a single feed. Such a dual source of normal power consists of two or more electrical services fed from separate generator sets or a utility distribution network that has multiple power input sources and is arranged to provide mechanical and electrical separation so that a fault between the facility and the generating sources is not likely to cause an interruption of more than one of the facility service feeders.

The requirement for fuel cell systems being listed for emergency use is specifically retained. This requirement is clearly outside of the cited extracted text for NFPA 70-2017, and the same requirement has been explicitly added to 6.4.1.1.7 per First Revision FR 19 of NFPA 99-2018, where wording has been revised accordingly. Furthermore, this is a requirement pertaining to the installation of equipment. In accordance with Standards Council Decision SD-11-7, NFPA 70 Code-Making Panel 15 has authority to set installation requirements of equipment in health care facilities. This action meets the intent of the CC PC-1817 relative to or more.

7 of 58 1/28/2016 2:32 PM Negative with Comment Beebe, Chad E. The change in item (C) needs to be changed back to the previous edition language. The previous edition required facilities to consider locating equipment to minimize outages. This section would require the essential electrical system to be located to minimize outages - but this decision shouldn't be made in without regard to other systems and factors. That is why this performance issue is taken care of in NFPA 99 where it requires facilities to do a hazard vulnerably assessment (HVA) The HVA looks at vulnerabilities of all of the systems and the likely types of outages. A simple statement as in 517.30 (C) can't address the complex considerations that need to go into the location of backup systems and utilities. Dagenais, David A. By adding the word shall in section (C) it will make the decision of the placement of the all essential electrical system components completely up to the interpretation of the AHJ. This is a good suggestion but should not be required language. NEC Panel 15 Final Ballot Results - Page 21 of 62-01/28/16
