encompassed in the electrical design for this project. If so, most of the wiring

methods included on E-001 are in violation of this article. Usually the wiring

methods for stables are; type UF cable, PVC coated MC cable and PVC conduit

with conductors, due to the corrosive atmosphere/environment in a stable.

Please advise.
