1. (1) is restricted to circuits or parts of circuits that operate at voltages not exceeding 600 volts, phase‑to‑phase;

2. (2) is electrically isolated from the building wiring system by an overcurrent protective isolating device that:

   1. (a) has been installed, complete with line‑side connections, by others;
   2. (b) is permanently and legibly marked to identify the equipment served by the device; and
   3. (c) is located adjacent to the controller for the specific groundwater pump equipment involved and within an enclosure intended solely for, and limited to, serving that equipment;
