1926.405(j)(4)(iii) Motor Overload, Short-Circuit, and Ground-Fault Protection

OSHA 1926 Construction > K Electrical > 1926.405 Wiring Methods, Components, and Equipment for General Use > 1926.405(j) Equipment for General Use > 1926.405(j)(4) Motors > 1926.405(j)(4)(iii) Motor Overload, Short-Circuit, and Ground-Fault Protection
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Motors, motor-control apparatus, and motor branch-circuit conductors shall be protected against overheating due to motor overloads or failure to start, and against short-circuits or ground faults. These provisions do not require overload protection that will stop a motor where a shutdown is likely to introduce additional or increased hazards, as in the case of fire pumps, or where continued operation of a motor is necessary for a safe shutdown of equipment or process and motor overload sensing devices are connected to a supervised alarm.
