LINE VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Stability

Any fixed line voltage power source producing alternating current (ac) shall produce electric power at 60 Hz, ±3 Hz when

producing power at all levels between no load and full rated power. Any fixed line voltage power source shall produce

electric power at the rated voltage ±10 percent when producing power at all levels between no load and full rated power.

The maximum voltage supplied to portable equipment shall not exceed 275 volts to ground. Higher voltage shall be

permitted only when used to operate fixed wired, permanently mounted equipment on the apparatus.

Conformance with National Electrical Code

All components, equipment, and installation procedures shall conform to NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, except where

superseded by the requirements of this chapter. Where the requirements of this chapter differ from those in NFPA 70, the

requirements in this chapter shall apply.

Where available, line voltage electrical system equipment and materials included on the apparatus shall be listed and

used only in the manner for which they have been listed. All equipment and materials shall be installed in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions.

Location Ratings

Any equipment used in a dry location shall be listed for dry locations. Any equipment used in a wet location shall be listed

for wet locations.

Any equipment, except a PTO-driven generator, used in an underbody or under chassis location that is subject to road

spray shall be either listed as Type 4 or mounted in an enclosure that is listed as Type 4.

If a PTO-driven generator is located in an underbody or under chassis location, the installation shall include a shield to

prevent road spray from splashing directly on the generator.
