Which article addresses the requirements for cranes and hoists?

The correct answer is Article 610 because this article specifically covers the requirements and regulations for cranes and hoists, including their installation, operation, and safety requirements. Article 610 establishes the standards necessary to ensure that cranes and hoists are safely used and maintained, addressing aspects such as the electrical equipment required for their operation, and ensuring proper grounding and wiring requirements to maintain a safe working environment.

In contrast, the other articles mentioned cover different topics within the National Electrical Code (NEC). Article 605 pertains to temporary wiring for construction, demolition, and renovation work. Article 620 deals with the requirements for elevators, escalators, and moving walks, which, while related to vertical transportation, do not specifically focus on cranes and hoists. Article 625 discusses electric vehicle charging systems, which is outside the scope of crane and hoist requirements.

Understanding the specific focus of each article helps in applying the right regulations to the right types of equipment in electrical installations and safety considerations.
