FPN Figure 620.2 Control System.
motor controllers, driving machine motors, machine brakes, and motor-generator sets shall not have a circuit voltage in excess of 600 volts. Internal voltages of power conversion equipment and functionally associated equipment, and the operating voltages of wiring interconnecting the equipment, shall be permitted to be higher, provided that all such equipment and wiring shall be listed for the higher voltages. Where the voltage exceeds 600 volts, warning labels or signs that read "DANGER — HIGH VOLTAGE" shall be attached to the equipment and shall be plainly visible.

(B) Lighting Circuits. Lighting circuits shall comply with the requirements of Article 410.

(C) Heating and Air-Conditioning Circuits. Branch cir- cuits for heating and air-conditioning equipment located on the elevator car shall not have a circuit voltage in excess of 600 volts.

620.4 Live Parts Enclosed. All live parts of electrical ap paratus in the hoistways, at the landings, in or on the cars of elevators and dumbwaiters, in the wellways or the landings of escalators or moving walks, or in the runways and machinery spaces of platform lifts and stairway chairlifts shall be enclosed to protect against accidental contact.

FPN: See 110.27 for guarding of live parts (600 volts, nominal, or less).

620.5 Working Clearances. Working space shall be provided about controllers, disconnecting means, and other electrical equipment. The minimum working space shall be not less than that specified in 110.26(A).

Where conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified persons examine, adjust, service, and maintain the equipment,
the clearance requirements of 110.26(A) shall be waived as permitted in 620.5(A) through (D).
