In the National Electrical Code, Article 540 is specifically dedicated to which area?

Article 540 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) specifically addresses Motion Picture Projection Rooms. This part of the code provides regulations and requirements for the safe installation and operation of electrical systems and equipment used in environments where films are projected. The focus is on ensuring safety due to the unique hazards associated with film projection, such as the handling of high-intensity lighting, the operation of projection equipment, and the potential for fire hazards from film stock.

The article outlines necessary provisions for wiring methods, equipment installations, and protective measures that must be implemented to safeguard both the people who work in these projection areas and the equipment itself. Understanding these specific regulations is crucial for ensuring compliance and maintaining safety in facilities that operate projection rooms.

Other areas such as assembly occupancies, health care facilities, and control systems have their own articles which focus on their respective safety requirements but do not overlap with the specific provisions laid out in Article 540 for motion picture projection rooms.
