Question: Does a Modular Process Skid need to adhere to the NEC?See for example: https://www.epicmodularprocess.com/systemsMy specific question is if the LFMC (liquid tight flexible metal conduit) needs to be supported per NEC 350.30?Lost in the weeds......

Yes, a Modular Process Skid needs to adhere to the NEC.The National Electrical Code (NEC) is a set of regulations that govern the installation and use of electrical equipment and materials in the United States. These regulations are intended to protect people and property from electrical hazards.Modular Process Skids are pre-assembled units that contain electrical equipment and materials. These units are typically used in industrial settings. Because Modular Process Skids contain electrical equipment, they must adhere to the NEC.NEC 350.30 specifically addresses the support of LFMC (liquid tight flexible metal conduit). This section requires that LFMC be supported at intervals not exceeding 6 feet. This requirement is intended to prevent the conduit from sagging and creating a hazard.Therefore, the LFMC on a Modular Process Skid must be supported per NEC 350.
