Not where I really want to be
This code says:
(B) Integral Parts of Equipment.
The requirements of this article are not intended to apply to the conductors that form an integral part of equipment, such as motors, controllers, motor control centers, or factory-assembled control equipment or listed utilization equipment.

What this means:
Requirements for specific wiring methods can be found in the Chapter 3 article governing that particular wiring method, but the overarching requirements for wiring methods are covered in this first article of Chapter 3. Chapters 5 through 7 modify some of the requirements of Article 300. Chapter 8 is not subject to the requirements of Article 300, except where specifically referenced. Article 300 also covers wiring requirements within boxes, conduit bodies, and fittings.
