In 2023, Article 490 was replaced with Article 495, Equipment over 1,000Vac or 1,500Vdc, Nominal. Given the current status of PV equipment ratings, our systems do not exceed 1,500Vdc and Article 495 will not apply. The new 690.31 (G) language needs to be evaluated for the application of circuits over 1,000Vdc.

Changes in 2023 NEC. If you look up Section 705.13 in the 2023 NEC, you will notice the term Power Control Systems has been replaced with a new term, Energy Management Systems, and it takes you elsewhere in the Code to Section 750.30. Baldassari says this term "kind of takes you further away from what it really does.".
The scope of Article 706 informs Code users that this information applies to all permanently installed energy storage systems. This applies to ESSs operating at more than 50 volts AC or 60 volts DC. These may be stand-alone or interactive with other electric power production sources. Photo 1.
