660-9. Minimum Size of Conductors. Size No. 18 or 16 fixture wires, as
specified in Section 725-16, and flexible cords shall be permitted for the
control and operating circuits of X-ray and auxiliary equipment where protected by not larger than 20-ampere overcurrent devices.
660-10. Equipment Installations. All equipment for new X-ray installations and all used or reconditioned X-ray equipment moved to and reinstalled at a new location shall be of an approved type.
B. Control
660-20. Fixed and Stationary Equipment.
(a) Separate Control Device. A separate control device, in addition to
the disconnecting means, shall be incorporated in the X-ray control supply
or in the primary circuit to the high-voltage transformer. This device shall
be a part of the X-ray equipment but shall be permitted in a separate
enclosure immediately adjacent to the X-ray control unit.
(b) Protective Device. A protective device, which shall be permitted to
be incorporated into the separate control device, shall be provided to control the load resulting from failures in the high-voltage circuit.
660-21. Portable and Mobile Equipment. Portable and mobile equipment
shall comply with Section 660-20, but the manually controlled device shall
be located in or on the equipment.
660-23. Industrial and Commercial Laboratory Equipment.
(a) Radiographic and Fluoroscopic Types. All radiographic- and
fluoroscopic-type equipment shall be effectively enclosed or shall have
interlocks that deenergize the equipment automatically to prevent ready
access to live current-carrying parts.
(b) Diffraction and Irradiation Types. Diffraction- and irradiation-type
equipment shall be provided with a positive means to indicate when it is
energized. The indicator shall be a pilot light, readable meter deflection, or
equivalent means.
Exception: Equipment or installations effectively enclosed or provided with interlocks to prevent access to live current-carrying parts
during operation.

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
660-24. Independent Control. Where more than one piece of equipment
is operated from the same high-voltage circuit, each piece or each group of
equipment as a unit shall be provided with a high-voltage switch or equivalent disconnecting means. This disconnecting means shall be constructed,
enclosed, or located so as to avoid contact by persons with its live parts.
C. Transformers and Capacitors
660-35. General. Transformers and capacitors that are part of an X-ray
equipment shall not be required to comply with Articles 450 and 460.
660-36. Capacitors. Capacitors shall be mounted within enclosures of
insulating material or grounded metal.
D. Guarding and Grounding
660-47. General.
(a) High-Voltage Parts. All high-voltage parts, including X-ray tubes,
shall be mounted within grounded enclosures. Air, oil, gas, or other suitable insulating media shall be used to insulate the high voltage from the
grounded enclosure. The connection from the high-voltage equipment to
X-ray tubes and other high-voltage components shall be made with highvoltage shielded cables.
(b) Low-Voltage Cables. Low-voltage cables connecting to oil-filled
units that are not completely sealed, such as transformers, condensers,
oil coolers, and high-voltage switches, shall have insulation of the oilresistant type.
660-48. Grounding. Noncurrent-carrying metal parts of X-ray and associated equipment (controls, tables, X-ray tube supports, transformer tanks,
shielded cables, X-ray tube heads, etc.) shall be grounded in the manner
specified in Article 250. Portable and mobile equipment shall be provided
with an approved grounding-type attachment plug cap.
Exception: Battery-operated equipment.
