What type of systems is Article 675 focused on?

Article 675 of the National Electrical Code specifically focuses on Electrically Driven or Controlled Irrigation Machines. This article addresses the unique needs and requirements for electrical installations associated with irrigation systems, ensuring safety and efficiency during operation.

The provisions within this article lay out guidelines for the wiring, grounding, circuits, and protection methods necessary to effectively power equipment used in irrigation, highlighting the critical aspects of electrical safety in these potentially dangerous environments. By emphasizing these standards, Article 675 plays a significant role in protecting both the equipment and the personnel who operate or maintain such systems.

In contrast, the focus of the other options is not covered specifically by Article 675, as they pertain to distinct categories within the NEC. Emergency Systems address backup power requirements, Solar Photovoltaic Systems cover renewable energy installations, and Industrial Machinery encompasses a wide range of equipment used in industrial processes. While all these areas are important in the electrical field, they are governed by other sections of the NEC, making them less relevant to the focus of Article 675.
