Save Time and Money by Meeting the NFPA 79 Cable Requirements

NFPA-79 is the section of the National Electric Code (NEC®) that focuses on the electrical wiring standards used with industrial machinery. NFPA-79 applies to the electrical equipment used within a wide variety of machines, as well as groups of machines working together in a coordinated manner. Examples of industrial machinery include, among others: machine tools, injection molding machines, woodworking equipment, assembling machinery, material handling machinery and inspection and testing machines. The scope of NFPA-79 includes all electrical and electronic elements of the machinery operating at 600V or less.
