limited voltage for flood light at building sign

[anbm]

Does NEC prevent to use certain voltage for ground mounted flood lights (serving building monument sign)?

I don't see anything that talks about it.

Just for my own corusity, what do you have in mind?

I may remember something wrong, do we need to install a disconnect at the light?
The kid may play around the sign...

The sign (if its a lit sign) needs a disco, but not the ground lights.

225.7(C) can limit a 277 volt circuit from a fixture that is reachable? I know its enforced here

(C) 277 Volts to Ground. Circuits exceeding 120 volts,
nominal, between conductors and not exceeding 277 volts,
nominal, to ground shall be permitted to supply luminaires
for illumination of outdoor areas of industrial establishments,
office buildings, schools, stores, and other commercial
or public buildings where the luminaires are not less
than 900 mm (3 ft) from windows, platforms, fire escapes,
and the like.
(D) 600 Volts

I know its kind of a strech but I do think the intent is there?

never mind the above it was a 480 volt corner grounded delta the state was talking about.

Whoops:ashamed1:

Lets look at that section again though. It confuses me the way it is worded.

(C) 277 Volts to Ground. Circuits exceeding 120 volts, nominal, between conductors and not exceeding 277 volts, nominal, to ground shall be permitted to supply luminaires for illumination of outdoor areas of industrial establishments, office buildings, schools, stores, and other commercial or public buildings where the luminaires are not less than 900 mm (3 ft) from windows, platforms, fire escapes, and the like.

That word not has really got me puzzled. If they deleted that word the whole thing would make more sense to me. Just what is the intention of this section?

Ok thought about it some more and think I understand it - but it is a little tricky to just read and absorb without some thinking. To the OP it does not mention a luminaire installed at or near grade level like you have, so I don't believe there is a voltage limitation.
