517.26 indicates that the "essential electrical system shall meet the requirements of Art 700 except as amedned by Article 517.

This makes clear that not only the Emergency branches of a hospital system need to meet 0.01 selectivity but also the Equipment Branch.

I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't written somewhere in 517 something to exempt the Equipment branch from this very stringent, difficult to meet selectivity requirement?
