Provisions on wiring systems are added in Article 300-23,
Wiring Methods, to clarify that approved electrical
metallic tubing or rigid metallic conduit are required
in all but a few instances in order to reduce potential
electrical line problems, especially as a result of
earthquakes.
be
An amendment to Article 334-23, Metal-Clad Cable, is
needed to clarify that internal grounding conductors
must be provided in each metal clad cable because the
existing wording simply refers to an "adequate path."
Ce
It is appropriate, as reflected in amendments to
Article 336-3, Nonmetallic-Sheathed Cable, and
Article 336-4, Uses Not Permitted, to limit the use
of Type NM and Type NMC cables to certain residential
structures and not permit such cables in industrial
