I need some help from the technical experts out there. I am an army safety specialist with the McAlester Army Ammunition plant, McAlester, Oklahoma.
Situation: During an annual safety inspection of a facility it was noted that 4 heavy duty flexible cords were piggy backed, connecting a Dayton Air Circ Fan in a Class 1 Div 2 area. We won't go into the last part of that one folks
I had been trained in USAF safety that piggy backing of flexible cords was not permissable IAW the NEC. Once again, we won't discuss the Class 1 Div 2 req's in this msg. LOL I have researched 400-7 and 400-8 which in itself is pretty clear cut.
I was referencing 400-7(b) Attachment plugs. It references 400-7(a)(3), (a)(6), and (a)(8) ... attachment plug being energized directly from a recep outlet.
I don't want to send a customer an incorrect reference without consulting you all. However, am I on track with the way I am reading this?
Please confirm
Thanks folks for your time and knowledge
