These wires shall either be protected by conduit (except Type WP) or be supported by insulators beyond the reach of persons. These wire types are not acceptable for festoon lighting and shall not be used with insulation piercing sockets. For festoon lighting the use of 2 conductor No. 12 neoprene brewery cord is acceptable provided that where the cord is suspended, the use of wedge type strain clamps, such as "Reliable" Type PR is used

SECTION 01 10 10.00 25 Page 6 to take the strain.

b. Type S, SO, or ST ("Tirex") shall be used where cords are subject to extreme conditions such as rocky ground, vehicle traffic, frequent moves along the ground, and frequent exposure to moisture.

Nonmetallic-sheathed cable and service entrance cable shall not be used as portable cord run along the ground or suspended in the air. When exposed they shall be run against and fastened to continuous protective surfaces.

c. Only nonmetallic supports shall be used for installation of temporary electrical wiring; the use of baling wire and other like materials is prohibited.

d. Type NM (indoor) nonmetallic-sheathed cable shall not be exposed to moisture. For outdoor installation Type NMC or service cable shall be used and boxes used therewith shall be made of insulating material.

Cabinets or cutout boxes installed where exposed to moisture shall either be rain tight or shall be protected from moisture.

e. Boxes and cabinets shall not have wires and cables passing through sharp edged holes. Individual wires shall enter boxes in conduit or through holes bushed with insulation material. Cables shall enter boxes through bushings or box connectors.

f. All metal which encloses live electrical conductors shall be grounded with the exception of isolated fixed boxes in dry locations and so placed that persons cannot touch the box and simultaneously touch or be standing on the ground, concrete or a grounded metal surface. The term "enclosure" includes safety switch and motor started boxes, panel board enclosures, switch and outlet boxes, and the frames of portable power tools. Metal stands for portable floodlights also shall be grounded. Water pipe or existing cable grounds shall be used whenever possible.
