Wiring and Equipment for Electrically Driven or Controlled
Irrigation Machines

S
T ASABE is a professional and technical organization, of members worldwide, who are dedicated to advancement of

A
engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents
developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization
needs within the scope of the Society; principally agricultural eld equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil
and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering,
electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management.

N
NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by
anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attrib-
utable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure
compliance with applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protecting

D
themselves against liability for infringement of patents.

ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of
2005 are designated as ASAE, regardless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering
Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as ASABE.

A
Standards designated as ANSI are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE.
Adoption as an American National Standard requires verication by ANSI that the requirements for due process,
consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE.

R
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has
been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple
majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a
concerted effort be made toward their resolution.

D
CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at any time. Additionally, procedures
of ASABE require that action be taken periodically to reafrm, revise, or withdraw each standard.
