RULES OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC LIGHT ASSOCIATION.

Adopted at Montreal, Sept. 10, 1891, and Amended at Buffalo, Feb. 23, 1892.

CLASS A. -CENTRAL STATIONS.-FOR LIGHT OR

POWER.

These Rules also Apply to Dynamo-Rooms in Isolated Plants, Connected With or Detached from Buildings Used for Other Purposes. Also to all Varieties of Apparatus, of both High and Low Potential.

GENERATORS OR MOTORS-Must be: 1. Located in a dry place.

2. Insulated on floors or base frames, which must be kept filled to prevent absorption of moisture, and also kept clean and dry.

3. Not exposed to flying or combustible materials.

4. Each covered with a waterproof cover when not operating.

In no case must a generator be placed in a room where any hazardous process is carried on, such as the working room of a cotton, jute, flax, woolen or flour mill.
