Isolation Of Equipment :
Any distribution board, item of plant, e.g. pumps, motor central chillers, etc.,
located in a position remote from the protective device at the origin of the supply
cable shall have a local isolator mounted adjacent to that equipment for
operational and maintenance safety. Isolation of motors other than those
employing direct on line starters shall be achieved by means of a lock off push
button or other approved means located adjacent to the motor and controlling
the starter coil.
803.2 Poly phase motors which are not part of packaged unit equipment and having
continuous rating and intended for long period of usage shall be energy efficient
motors, tested to relevant international standards like IEEE 112 - 2004 or
IEC60034 - 2 - 1.The efficiency class of the motors to be used shall be of
minimum IE2 ( High Efficiency ) as detailed in IEC 60034 - 30.
