Question
The $N E C$ is very strict about securing anything to electrical raceways. Name the Code sections that prohibit this practice. NEC ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Step 1
First, we need to identify the section of the NEC that deals with electrical raceways. This would be Article 300 - Wiring Methods. Show more…

The purpose of the NEC® is to safeguard people and property from electrical hazards. It provides guidelines for the safe installation and use of electrical equipment and systems. The NEC® covers a wide range of topics, including wiring methods, grounding, overcurrent protection, and electrical equipment. It is updated regularly to incorporate new technologies and address emerging safety concerns. Compliance with the NEC® is typically required by local building codes and enforced by electrical inspectors.
Electrical Safety Codes For safety reasons, electrical codes have been established that limit the amount of current a wire of a given size can carry. For example, an 18 -gauge (cross-sectional area $=0.823 \mathrm{mm}^{2}$ ), rubber-insulated extension cord with copper wires can carry a maximum current of 5.0 $\mathrm{A}$ . Find the voltage drop in a $12-\mathrm{ft}$ , 18 -gauge extension cord carrying a current of 5.0 $\mathrm{A}$ . Note: In an extension cord, the current must flow through two lengths - down and back.)
