UL/CSA60950-1 has very specific material requirements for motors. And 508C being deprecated, we now have UL61800-5-1, so that might be helpful if this is a controlled-drive motor, but have not read so not certain. IEC60204 has broad scope, so there an 'equivalent' ANSI or CSA standard not available.
Also, remember that NFPA79 has some stuff that required same awg wire into equipment as provided by the external distribution circuit. But if the equipment terminal goes into rated interrupt device, then should be ok for decrease wire size. Happy reading, the scoped standards and code cannot possibly be more than 1500 pages....

Perhaps I should clarify the my original question is relevant to wiring internal to machinery hence the reference to NFPA 79. I'll take a look at NFPA 70 in a bit. Next on my list it to look at EN 60950-1 and EN 60204-1 to look for any similar relevant restrictions as I need compliance with all of these. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: John Woodgate [mailto:j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 12:30 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] 16 AWG wire usage In message <blupr02mb116aef4c518d40f7344d15dc1...@blupr02mb116.namprd02.prod.outlook .com>, dated Wed, 15 Apr 2015, Brian Oconnell <oconne...@tamuracorp.com> writes: >Article 430 should be referenced for this stuff.
