520-47. Lamps in Scene Docks. Lamps installed in scene docks shall be
so located and guarded as to be free from physical damage and shall provide an air space of not less than 2 inches (50.8 mm) between such lamps
and any combustible material.
520-48. Curtain Machines. Curtain machines shall be listed.
520-49. Flue Damper Control. Where stage flue dampers are released by
an electrical device, the circuit operating the device shall be normally
closed and shall be controlled by at least two externally operable switches,
one switch being placed on stage at either the electrician's or stage manager's station and the other where designated by the authority having jurisdiction. The device shall be designed for the full voltage of the circuit to
which it is connected, no resistance being inserted. The device shall be
located in the loft above the scenery and shall be enclosed in a suitable
metal box having a tight, self-closing door.
D. Portable Switchboards on Stage
520-50. Road-Show Connection Panel (A Type of Patch Panel). A panel
designed to allow for road-show connection of portable stage switchboards
to fixed lighting outlets by means of permanently installed supplementary
circuits. The panel, supplementary circuits, and outlets shall comply with
(a) through (d) below.
(a) Load Circuits. Circuits shall terminate in grounded polarized inlets
of current and voltage rating that match the fixed load receptacle.
(b) Circuit Transfer. Circuits that are transferred between fixed and
portable switchboards shall have both the line and neutral transferred
simultaneously.
(c) Overcurrent Protection. The supply devices of these supplementary
circuits shall be protected by branch-circuit overcurrent protective
devices. The individual supplementary circuit, within the road-show connection panel and theater, shall be protected by branch-circuit overcurrent
protective devices of suitable ampacity installed within the road-show connection panel.
(d) Enclosure. Panel construction shall be in accordance with Article 384.

520-51. Supply. Portable switchboards shall be supplied only from
power outlets of sufficient voltage and ampere rating. Such power outlets
shall include only externally operable, enclosed fused switches or circuit
breakers mounted on stage or at the permanent switchboard in locations
readily accessible from the stage floor. Provisions for connection of an
equipment grounding conductor shall be provided. The neutral of feeders
supplying solid-state, 3-phase, 4-wire dimmer systems shall be considered
a current-carrying conductor.
520-52. Overcurrent Protection. Circuits from portable switchboards
directly supplying equipment containing incandescent lamps of not over
300 watts shall be protected by overcurrent protective devices having a
rating or setting of not over 20 amperes. Circuits for lampholders over 300
watts shall be permitted where overcurrent protection complies with
