Choice: Comments VotesAffirmative with Comment 1Mark R. Hilbert Continue to create the revision as recommended by the meeting actions. Relocating the parenthetical terms to a new
annex and creating a cross reference for the US and IEC terms along with additional explanatory material will benefit all readers of the Standard as well as the harmonization process. The Grounding and Bonding Task Group is continuing to work on comments for the development of the new Annex. There is an opportunity for the public as well as committeework on comments for the development of the new Annex. There is an opportunity for the public as well as committee members to provide comments that will help explain the similarities and differences between the US and the IEC grounding and bonding terms and applications. Recommendations in comments would be appreciated.
Negative 1David R. Carpenter I certainly agree with the submitter concerning the nomenclature of understanding between the IEC and NFPA standards.
I also agree that the NFPA 70 is the base standard for NFPA 79. However,that does not negate the need for understanding the IEC terms which are needed to properly install, maintain and troubleshoot industrial machines located in the US and are designed based on the IEC standards. Electricians, engineers and inspectors are increasingly faced with Industrial Machines which are designed based on IEC standards. It is imperative that they have guidance to prevent potential hazards which can, and has resulted in shock hazards, fire hazards and the destruction of equipment. A few examples of past problems: color codes difference between IEC and NFPA concerning neutral applications schematicexamples of past problems: color codes difference between IEC and NFPA concerning neutral applications, schematic difference concerning interlocks, and transformer characteristics that change grounding techniques and overcurrent protection application. This is especially troublesome when troubleshooting and installation. Most often seen when an IEC design is feed by a US system. The aforementioned is similar discussion to why IEC clarification terms were put in this standard. Industrial Machines have certain nuances which are not germane to facilities and should have some application difference as is needed. See my comments FR‐15y

NFPA 79 First Draft Ballot Circulation (A2014)
Mark R. Hilbert Continue to accept the revision. With the increasing awareness of electrical hazards in the workplace and the desire to create safe work practices for electrical workers in the United States it is common to locate the supply circuit disconnecting means in a separate enclosure. This new exception maintains the interlocking requirements of 6.2.3 while allowing the electrical hazard reduction strategies formally limited to machines totaling 2 hp or less.

J. B. Titus The new text from the committee action does not take into account random events such as material handling, staged tooling and other situations that could temporarily block immediate access to the disconnecting means. I suggest inserting..... "and always readily accessible to the operator."

Choice: Comments VotesAffirmative with Comment 2David R. Carpenter needed information which does not need to be in the body of the text
Mark R. Hilbert Continue to accept the revision. The requirements of Chapter 6 are intended to warn a worker of a potential arc‐flash hazard. The requirement in 6.1 mirrors the National Electrical Code which already requires control cabinets to be field q y qlabeled to warn workers of a potential arc‐flash hazard. Keeping this requirement in NFPA 79 will be a benefit those working on electrical equipment of industrial machinery in cases where NFPA 79 is the only document used.
Negative 3Paul Dobrowsky This change should not be made. Placing live parts in an enclosure inherently reduces the likelihood of an arc flash event
occurring. An indirect contact electric shock incident can occur as a result of an insulation failure if the enclosure integrity th ff ti f lt t th i i d El t i l i t d t f t ti l fl h h d dor the effective fault current path is compromised. Electrical equipment does not warn of potential arc‐flash hazards and
marking requirements seem to belong in Chapter 16. First Revision No. 47‐added Annex material to .6.2 that supports this concept.
Palmer L. Hickman The submitter of the Public Input has recommended a significant reduction in personnel protection without technical substantiation. The assertion is made that "Current language could be interpreted to require that the equipment must be substantiation. The assertion is made that Current language could be interpreted to require that the equipment must be designed to protect person(s) from arc flash hazards." The present requirements are clear. They do require protection against arc flash hazards. See present requirements below: Electrical equipment shall provide protection of persons from electric shock, from direct and indirect contact, and from arc‐flash hazards.
Daniel R Neeser Providing protection from direct contact or indirect contact does provide a degree of protection from arc flash hazardsDaniel R. Neeser Providing protection from direct contact or indirect contact does provide a degree of protection from arc flash hazards, and as such it is more than just “warn of potential” of arc flash hazards, as indicated in the new annex A.6.1. Therefore the change would reduce the level of safety.

Jay Tamblingson The reference here to 16.2.3 is too limiting. Subsection 16.2.7 also references the requirement for warning against arc flash hazards. Should not 16.2.7 be also referenced in 6 6? What is missing is some lower limit of the arc flash hazard which could exclude those devices or assemblies for which the warning is not needed. As of now the only exclusion is which could exclude those devices or assemblies for which the warning is not needed. As of now the only exclusion is found in 16.2.3.2 which excludes items too small to place a label on.

Mike Soter Exception allows the use of machine members for establishing the continuity of a ground path. This is not an acceptable practice(regardless of machine member size)for multiple reasons: 1. The resistivity of that path (based on the number of bolted connections)may not be the least resistive path to the source. 2. The path then becomes a "function" of non‐qualified individuals. ie. Personnel familiar with electrical installations lose "functional" control of the ground path integrity. 3. Non‐Electrical maintenance personnel may inadvertantley break, or add resistance to that unlabeled/unidentified path during the course of the machine's life expectancy

David R. Carpenter See comments FR‐50 and FR‐57
Jay Tamblingson The permission of the exception to 8.2.2.1 was removed from the 2007 NFPA 79 for reasons that included alignment with IEC 60204‐1 in accordance with the July 23, 1998 letter from the Standards Council which read in part: "Concur with the y , pefforts of the NFPA 79 Committee to harmonize the technical requirements of NFPA 79 and IEC 204, where feasible and where in concert with the NEC and its related codes and standards." Further, the "in concert with the NEC and its related codes and standards" part of the permission from the Standards Council was then deemed to be met, as cited by Lynn Saunders in his Comment, in that the removal of the allowance to substitute machine members for an equipment grounding conductor met the requirements of Article 300.3(B) of the NEC. It required that the equipment grounding
d t b t i d i th ith th th d t f th i it Th d ti i iconductor be contained in the same raceway with the other conductors of the same circuit. The proposed exception is, in effect, ignoring the agreement to align with IEC 60204‐1 and the NEC 300.3(B) requirement. It has been proposed on the basis of Article 250.136(A) which permits a grounded metal rack or structure provided for the support of electrical equipment to, in turn, ground the electrical equipment that is securely mechanically and electrically connected thereto. This negates the need for a separate equipment grounding conductor for the thus mounted electrical equipment. The interpretation is that if it is OK for a metal rack or structure with the sole purpose of supporting electrical equipment to interpretation is that if it is OK for a metal rack or structure with the sole purpose of supporting electrical equipment to substitute for an equipment grounding conductor, then it’s OK for machine members to be used for the same purpose, notwithstanding the very significant functional roles and mechanical differences. The permission in 250.136(A) is for electrical equipment supported by grounded metal racks or structures. This permission is far from allowing machine members to have the same role. For instance, there are implicitly more connections when machine member(s) are used to substitute for an equipment grounding conductor. Further, even where machine members might be so used, they are often not contiguous pieces of metal which begs the question of integrity of continuity over the years since machines are continually stressed and subject to the possibility of exposure to corrosive materials. Simply put, it cannot be claimed that the proposed substitution of machine members for equipment grounding conductor elements is “in concert with the NEC and its related codes and standards.”

Jay Tamblingson The annex note revision was correct, but the committee action to reject the changes proposed in Public Input 47 by the NFPA 79 Control and Technology Task Force was not. Most of today's safety relays and controllers use software or firmware, and the existing language essentially prescribes a level of safety control system performance that may not be appropriate or achievable for the level of risk identified. Functional safety solutions are given in probabilistic terms. They are based on the theory that any electronic component can fail at any time. This is quite different from the deterministic approach used for electromechanical devices that have B10 life characterizations where it is very improbable that a well

Mark R. Hilbert I voted negative as I do not agree with all the proposed changes. I agree with the recommendations in PIs 104 & 56 to revise the metric measurement, the recommendation in PI 55 to clarify Exception No. 4 by changing “and” to “where” and the recommendation in PI 10 to relocate 11.5.1 to a new 11.5.1.4. I do not agree with the recommendation in PI 56 to add “opening into the” in front of the words “control cabinet” in 11.5.1.2. The requirements of this section are necessary to provide adequate space for personnel to perform adjustment, examination, maintenance and servicing tasks on the outside of enclosures as well as the inside. The proposed changes only consider tasks that are performed p p g y pinside of the enclosure when in fact there are tasks performed on the outside of enclosures as well. For example repair or replacement of the operating handle for a disconnecting means mounted on the outside flange of a control cabinet. As revised adjacent machine equipment could be placed in front of a control cabinet as long as the cabinet opening is clear and I can operate the disconnecting means operator. This will compromise the access to components mounted on the outside of equipment and will significantly reduce the likelihood of door swings beyond the point of 90 degrees. U f t t l b ti t k PI 94 it d t th b ll t PI 94 d d l bUnfortunately because no action was taken on PI 94 it does not appear on the ballot. PI 94 recommended language be added to 11.5 to clarify the working space requirements of the NEC apply where the enclosure contained the supply conductors. Although I agree with the submitter there is a need to clarify coverage of the working space requirements for enclosures containing the supply conductors I also agree with the Committee discussion that as NFPA 79 is currently worded the working space for an enclosure containing the “supply conductor terminals” is covered by NFPA 79. Further clarification is necessary as there are cases when an enclosure may contain the “supply conductors” and “supply clarification is necessary as there are cases when an enclosure may contain the supply conductors and supply

Paul Dobrowsky The term " derating" should be replaced with "adjustment" related to "numbers of conductors" and "correction" relating to ambient temperature. This cange has been made in the NEC and NFPA 79 should be consistent to avoid confusion.
Jay Tamblingson Given that 4.4.3 states that the ambient operating temperature of the equipment shall be betweeen 5c and 40C, it would be useful to update the correction factors and ampacity tables based on 40C rather than requiring users to always adjust from 30C ambient values and would improve harmonization with IEC 60204‐1.
