What type of equipment does Article 810 primarily address?

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) specifically addresses radio and television equipment. This includes provisions for the installation and maintenance of equipment that is used in the transmission and reception of radio and television signals.

The regulations set forth in this article are designed to ensure safety in the installation of antennas, transmission lines, and other components associated with these types of devices, steering clear of safety hazards such as fire, electrical shock, and equipment damage.

While community antenna systems, network-powered broadband systems, and telecommunication lines may involve aspects that intersect with radio and television technologies, they fall under different sections of the NEC or may be regulated by other standards. Hence, Article 810's primary focus remains on the safe installation practices specifically pertinent to radio and television equipment. Understanding the scope and application of this article is crucial for professionals involved in those fields.
