Section 12:185-23.5 - Motors and generators

(a) All electrical connections to motors shall be guarded in order to prevent accidental contact therewith.

(b) Alternating current motors and starting devices shall be protected by a fuse or automatic circuit breaker in each ungrounded wire. When circuit breakers are used, two overload trip coils shall be used for ungrounded neutral systems, and three overload trip coils for grounded neutral systems. In either case the automatic circuit breaker shall operate so that the opening of one phase will open the other phases. Switches shall be provided for isolating the fuses or circuit breakers from the live source.

(c) Overload release devices on starting rheostats and compensators shall not be considered as taking the place of circuit breakers if such devices are inoperative during the starting of the motor.
