bonded to grounded metal parts of the car that they contact.
620-82. Electric Elevators. For electric elevators, the frames of all
motors, elevator machines, controllers, and the metal enclosures for all
electric devices in or on the car or in the hoistway shall be grounded in
accordance with Article 250.
620-83. Nonelectric Elevators. For elevators other than electric having
any electric conductors attached to the car, the metal frame of the car,

125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed in machine
rooms, machinery spaces, pits, and elevator car tops shall have groundfault circuit-interrupter protection.
K. Overspeed
620-91. Overspeed Protection for Elevators. Under overhauling load
conditions, a means shall be provided on the load side of each elevator
power disconnecting means to prevent the elevator from attaining a speed
equal to the governor tripping speed or a speed in excess of 125 percent of
the elevator rated speed, whichever is the lesser.
Overhauling load conditions shall include all loads up to rated elevator
loads for freight elevators and all loads up to 125 percent of rated elevator
loads for passenger elevators.
620-92. Motor-Generator Overspeed Device. Motor-generators driven by
direct-current motors and used to supply direct current for the operation of
elevator machine motors shall be provided with speed-limiting devices as
required by Section 430-89(c) that will prevent the elevator from attaining
at any time a speed of more than 125 percent of its rated speed.
620-101. Emergency Power. An elevator can be powered by an emergency power system, provided that when operating on such emergency
power there is conformance with Section 620-91.
70-664
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
Exception: Where the emergency power system is designed to operate
only one elevator at a time, the energy absorption means, if required, shall
be permitted on the line side of the disconnecting means, provided all
other requirements of Section 620-91 are conformed to when operating any
of the elevators the system might serve.
(a) Other Building Loads. Other building loads, such as power and light
that can be supplied by the emergency power system, shall not be considered as means of absorbing the regenerated energy for the purpose of conforming to Section 620-91, unless such loads are using their normal power
from the emergency power system when it is activated.
(b) Disconnecting Means. The disconnecting means required by Section 620-51 shall disconnect the emergency power service and the normal
power service.
