part of the truck coupler. For the purposes of this article, the truck flanged surface inlet is considered to be part of the truck and not part of the electrified truck parking space supply equipment.

626.3 Other Articles. Wherever the requirements of other articles of this Code and Article 626 differ, the requirements of Article 626 shall apply. Unless electrified truck parking space wiring systems are supported or arranged in such a manner that they cannot be used in or above locations classified in 511.3 or 514.3, or both, they shall comply with 626.3(A) and (B) in addition to the requirements of this article.

(A) Vehicle Repair and Storage Facilities. Electrified truck parking space electrical wiring systems located at facilities for the repair or storage of self-propelled vehicles that use volatile flammable liquids or flammable gases for fuel or power shall comply with Article 511.

(B) Motor Fuel Dispensing Stations. Electrified truck parking space electrical wiring systems located at or serving motor fuel dispensing stations shall comply with Article 514.

used on the site or truck.

(B) Distribution System Voltages. Unless other voltages are specified, the nominal ac system voltages of 120, 120/240, 208Y/120, 240, or 480Y/277 shall be used to supply equipment covered by this article.

(C) Connection to Wiring System. The provisions of this article shall apply to the electrified truck parking space supply equipment intended for connection to a wiring system as defined in 626.4(B).

II. Electrified Truck Parking Space Electrical Wiring

Systems

626.10 Branch Circuits. Electrified truck parking space single-phase branch circuits shall be derived from a

208Y/120-volt, 3-phase, 4-wire system or a 120/240- volt, single-phase, 3-wire system.

Exception: A 120-volt distribution system shall be permitted to supply existing electrified truck parking spaces.

626.11 Feeder and Service Load Calculations.

(A) Parking Space Load. The calculated load of a feeder or service shall be not less than the sum of the loads on the branch circuits. Electrical service and feeders shall be calculated on the basis of not less than 11 kVA per electrified truck parking space.

(B) Demand Factors. Electrified truck parking space electrical wiring system demand factors shall be based upon the climatic temperature zone in which the equipment is installed. The demand factors set forth in Table 626.11(B) shall be the minimum allowable demand factors that shall be permitted for calculating load for service and feeders. No demand factor shall be allowed for any other load, except as provided in this article.
