as been revised by changing the main requirament and the f i

& Cases exist where an existing load center was the service equipment but is now bein
supplied by a feeder _ ”
In these situations, the grounded conductor is not permitted to be used as part of the
effective ground-fault current pathway
The grounded connector is to be insulated or field covered within the supply enclosure
with a listed insulating material to prevent contact of an uninsulated conductor with any
normally non-current carrying metal part of the equipment
New revision provides a safe alternative from having to replace the existing 3-wire
nonmetallic sheathed cables
