>From the 2020 Edition, emphasis is mine. "670.6 Surge Protection. Industrial machinery with safety interlock control devices *not effectively protected from voltage surges on the incoming supply circuit* shall have surge protection installed."
It does not say where this protection needs to be applied, so I assume it can be within the machine or somewhere in machine supply. Also, does the product you are inquiring about fall under the definition of *Industrial Machinery*, NFPA 79? -Doug Douglas E Powell Laporte, Colorado USA [email protected] LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/coloradocomplianceguy/> (UTC -06:00) Mountain Time (US-MDT) On Tue, Nov 1, 2022 at 11:55 AM Brian Kunde <[email protected]> wrote: > It just came to my attention that section 670.6 of the US National > Electric Code 2017 requires a listed Surge Protection Device (SPD) to be on > any Industrial Machine that has an Interlock, or I assume any kind of > safety function.
