Abstract

Electrical codes and standards that apply specifically to rural applications are reviewed. These include applications to grain bins, storage structures, irrigation pump motors, oil pumps, other motor applications, animal confinement buildings and wet or corrosive installations. In addition to citing of the codes and standards, recommendations on effective application of the documents are provided. Sections on grounding, wiring methods, and equipment selection give additional details in a tutorial form. Basic motor circuits with electrical code references are presented
