Section 4-7.5 - Electrical equipment and wiring

(a) General. The general construction and assembly of electrical equipment and wiring shall be neat and workmanlike. Wiring shall be positively located and adequately supported and shall be adequately protected against injury from the movement of movable parts.

(b) Enclosures. Splicing devices and uninsulated metal parts having a potential in excess of 30 volts shall be installed within enclosures requiring the use of tools for entry. Strain relief shall be provided for conductors leaving an enclosure.

(c) Bushings. Openings in metal walls through which insulated wires not in wireways pass shall be provided with smoothly rounded bushings, or an acceptable metal grommet, or shall have smooth well-rounded surfaces as formed by rolling or extrusion of the metal around the opening to prevent abrasion of the insulation. Bushings shall be phenolic, porcelain, hard fiber or other suitable material having a smoothly rounded surface.

(d) Connectors. Detachable plug connectors shall not be used in circuits when disconnection or connection of the circuit may allow unsafe operation of the appliance.

(e) Service connections. Electrical connections, including those in low voltage non-safety circuits, which need to be broken to service any controls, shall be made in such a manner that they may be connected and reconnected without breaking a soldered connection and without breaking or cutting the wires.
