240.12 Electrical System Coordination.
Where an orderly shutdown is required to minimize the hazard(s) to personnel and equipment, a system of coordination based on the following two conditions shall be permitted:
  • (1) Coordinated short-circuit protection
  • (2) Overload indication based on monitoring systems or devices
Informational Note:
The monitoring system may cause the condition to go to alarm, allowing corrective action or an orderly shutdown, thereby minimizing personnel hazard and equipment damage.

Here are some questions about the above:

1) In what applications is this typically seen?

2) How do you verify this during plan review?
