In cord and plug connected electric vehicle supply equipment, the interrupting devices shall be located how many inches from the attachment plug?

6 inches
8 inches
10 inches
12 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches

The requirement for the interrupting device to be located 12 inches from the attachment plug in cord and plug connected electric vehicle supply equipment is based on safety and accessibility considerations. This distance ensures that in the event of an electrical fault or a need to promptly disconnect the equipment, users can easily access the interrupting device without being too close to potential electrical hazards involving the attachment plug. By having a minimum distance of 12 inches, the design helps to mitigate risks associated with accidental contact with live parts when disconnecting the equipment. This standard aligns with the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines, emphasizing the importance of accessibility while also prioritizing the safety of users during operations or emergencies. Meeting this requirement supports safe installation practices, reducing the likelihood of electrical incidents when electric vehicles are being charged.
