Company Profile:
Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
Considered by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) as adequate for satisfying the goals, performance objectives, and/or performance criteria.
Industry:Fire safety
Connections made between rows of cells or at the positive and negative terminals of the battery that might include lead-plated terminal plates, cables with lead, plated lugs, and lead-plated rigid copper connectors, and for nickel-cadmium cells, nickel-plated copper intercell connections.
Industry:Fire safety
Connected to ground without inserting any resistor or impedance device.
Industry:Fire safety
Connected to establish electrical continuity and conductivity.
Industry:Fire safety
Connected (connecting) to ground or to a conductive body that extends the ground connection.
Industry:Fire safety
Conductors drawn from a copper-clad aluminum rod with the copper metallurgically bonded to an aluminum core. The copper forms a minimum of 10 percent of the cross-sectional area of a solid conductor or each strand of a stranded conductor.
Industry:Fire safety
Conductors between the inverter and the battery in stand-alone systems or the conductors between the inverter and the photovoltaic output circuits for electrical production and distribution network.
Industry:Fire safety
Conductors between the inverter and an ac panelboard for stand-alone systems or the conductors between the inverter and the service equipment or another electric power production source, such as a utility, for electrical production and distribution network.
Industry:Fire safety
Conditions that must exist in a space to allow entry and to ensure that employees can safely enter into and work within the space.
Industry:Fire safety
Condition present during the base flood where wave heights are greater than or equal to 36 in. (915 mm) or where wave run-up elevations exceed 36 in. (915 mm) above the finished ground level. Areas subject to high velocity wave action are designated on the flood insurance rate map or flood hazard map as Zone V, Zone VE, Zone VO, or Zone V1-30.
