Article 670 addresses which type of machinery?

Article 670 of the National Electrical Code specifically addresses the requirements for electrically driven or controlled irrigation machines. This article provides guidelines on the installation, maintenance, and safety protocols for equipment used in agricultural irrigation systems. These systems often include pumps, motors, and control devices that require specific electrical requirements to ensure they operate efficiently and safely in agricultural environments.

The focus on irrigation systems reflects the growing importance of electrical technology in modern farming practices, making it essential for electricians and engineers to understand the unique considerations involved in wiring and working with these types of machinery. By specifying these requirements, Article 670 helps ensure that irrigation machines can function properly while minimizing risks associated with electrical hazards.
