C. MOTOR PROTECTION AND EQUIPMENT
Customer's motor equipment must conform with the following requirements.
1. Motors that cannot be subjected safely to full rated voltage on starting, or that drive machinery of
such a nature that the machinery itself, or the product it handles will not permit the motor to
resume normal speed upon the restoration of normal supply voltage shall be equipped with devices
that will disconnect them from the line upon failure of supply voltage and that will prevent the
automatic reconnection of the motors upon restoration of normal supply voltage.
2. All motors of 1 hp or larger shall be equipped with thermal relays, fuses, or other automatic
overcurrent interrupting devices to disconnect completely such motors from the line as a
protection against damage due to overheating.
3. Three -phase motors driving elevators, hoists, tramways, cranes, conveyers or other equipment,
which would create hazard to life in the event of uncontrolled reversal of motor rotation, shall be
provided with reverse -phase and open -phase protection to disconnect completely the motors from
the line in the event of phase reversal or loss of one phase.
4. Wind machines thermostatically controlled with automatic reclosing switches must be equipped
with suitable time -delay devices, such as hereinafter specified, at the customer's expense, to permit
the required adjustment of the time of reclosure after interruption of service.
A suitable time -delay device, within the meaning of this rule, is a relay or other type of equipment
that can be present to delay with various time intervals the reclosing of the automatic switches
(and the consequent starting up of the electric motors on the wind machines) and to stagger the
reconnection of the load on the Utility's system, and such device must be constructed so as
effectively to permit a variable overall time interval of not less than five minutes with adjustable
time increments of not greater than ten seconds. The particular setting to be utilized for each
separate installation is to be determined by the Utility from time to time in accordance with its
operating requirements, and the customer is to obtain from the Utility the setting for each
installation as thus determined.

C. MOTOR PROTECTION AND EQUIPMENT
Customer's motor equipment must conform with the following requirements.
1. Motors that cannot be subjected safely to full rated voltage on starting, or that drive machinery of
such a nature that the machinery itself, or the product it handles will not permit the motor to
resume normal speed upon the restoration of normal supply voltage shall be equipped with devices
that will disconnect them from the line upon failure of supply voltage and that will prevent the
automatic reconnection of the motors upon restoration of normal supply voltage.
2. All motors of 1 hp or larger shall be equipped with thermal relays, fuses, or other automatic
overcurrent interrupting devices to disconnect completely such motors from the line as a
protection against damage due to overheating.
3. Three -phase motors driving elevators, hoists, tramways, cranes, conveyers or other equipment,
which would create hazard to life in the event of uncontrolled reversal of motor rotation, shall be
provided with reverse -phase and open -phase protection to disconnect completely the motors from
the line in the event of phase reversal or loss of one phase.
4. Wind machines thermostatically controlled with automatic reclosing switches must be equipped
with suitable time -delay devices, such as hereinafter specified, at the customer's expense, to permit
the required adjustment of the time of reclosure after interruption of service.
A suitable time -delay device, within the meaning of this rule, is a relay or other type of equipment
that can be present to delay with various time intervals the reclosing of the automatic switches
(and the consequent starting up of the electric motors on the wind machines) and to stagger the
reconnection of the load on the Utility's system, and such device must be constructed so as
effectively to permit a variable overall time interval of not less than five minutes with adjustable
time increments of not greater than ten seconds. The particular setting to be utilized for each
separate installation is to be determined by the Utility from time to time in accordance with its
operating requirements, and the customer is to obtain from the Utility the setting for each
installation as thus determined.
