How must electrical installations near compressor, cascade, or dispensing equipment be installed?

According to local building codes
According to the National Electrical Code (NEC)
By a licensed contractor only
In any manner that follows safety standards

The correct answer is: According to the National Electrical Code (NEC)

Electrical installations near compressor, cascade, or dispensing equipment must adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This is because the NEC provides a comprehensive set of safety standards designed to minimize risks associated with electrical installations, particularly in environments where flammable gases like compressed natural gas are present. The NEC includes specific guidelines regarding the type of equipment, the installation practices, and the overall maintenance required to ensure that installations do not pose hazards such as sparks or electrical faults, which could lead to dangerous situations in proximity to CNG systems. Compliance with these codes not only ensures safety but also promotes uniformity in electrical installations across different locations. While local building codes and licensed contractors play important roles in construction and renovation, the NEC is the primary authority setting the standards for electrical safety, especially critical in areas focusing on gas handling and storage.
