Electrical code on Busway to a water line

[Randy T]

Can someone tell me what the code is relating a 600v busway and the distance from a water line? The busway is not water tight.

There no requirements in the NEC for a distance from water lines

Thanks for the Info, I went thru the code book & could not find anyting on this subject. We are getting ready for a Final and the ast thing I need is to create a Red Tag.

In that case, you should have asked the question a long time ago, not when the job is done and the inspector is walking up to the door.

I did not know the job was going to be mine until this week. I don't get much notice around here. That has been my loudest arguement about this place.

Speedy:

The number ONE reason for busway failures is WATER. The number one reason burst pipes, over flow of floor drains and toilets and slop sinks overflowing.

There is no specific clearance that I know of.
Are you concerned the pipe will burst?

Water lines do not pose any specific threats to electrical equipment. Folks are amazed when they hear there is not a ton of clearance required between water piping and electrical equipment.
