Internal Wiring - Century UL 1086 Manual

13 Internal Wiring

13.1 The internal wiring and connections between parts of an appliance shall be protected or enclosed.
13.2 Internal wiring is considered to be all interconnecting wiring beyond the point where the
power-supply cord of a cord-connected appliance enters the enclosure, or beyond field-wiring terminals or
leads for power-supply connection of a fixed appliance, even though some of such wiring may not be
completely enclosed and even though some of it may be flexible cord. The protection of insulated wiring
required by 13.1 is considered to exist if, when judged as though it were film-coated wire, the wiring would
be acceptable in accordance with 7.1. Internal wiring not so protected may be accepted if it is secured
within the enclosure so that it is unlikely to be subjected to stress or mechanical damage.
13.3 Unless it is to be judged as an uninsulated live part, insulated internal wiring, including a grounding
conductor, shall consist of wire of a type or types that are acceptable for the application, when considered
with respect to:
a) Exposure to oil, grease, or other substances that may have a deleterious effect on the
insulation;
b) Exposure to moisture; and
c) The temperature, voltage, and other conditions of service to which the wiring may be
subjected.
