Section 39.284. Identified conductors, cords, and connectors

(a) Where used with portable devices, the cases of which are designed to be grounded in accordance with the provisions of § 39.282 (relating to grounding), the portable cable and the separable connectors, both to the device and to the circuit, shall, where practicable, be provided with identified parts so that the ground conductor wire in both the fixed wiring and portable cable will always be attached to the proper terminals of the connectors. It is desirable that the fixed wiring also have suitable marking to distinguish the ground conductors from circuit conductors.

(b) Separable connectors shall be so constructed that wrong connection between the two parts is impossible.
