Fig. National Electrical Code 2011

 NEC 2011- The main object of this code:

This codes of practice provides guidance on economic selection, installation and

maintenance of electrical equipment employed in the electrical energy installation
including safety aspects.
The code is an elaborated version of the IE Rules 1956, IE Act 2003 and relevant
standards for the best practices and to provide, unified practices and procedures
along with consideration for safety and economic usage of energy in the design,
execution, inspection and maintenance of electrical installations of various location.

 Scope of NEC code – 2011:

a) Good practices of safety and for selection of various electrical equipment forming part of
power systems;

b) Recommendations concerning safety and related matter in electrical installations of

buildings or industrial, structures, promoting recommendations

c) General safety procedures and practices in electrical work; d) Additional precautions to

be taken for use of electrical equipment under special environmental conditions like
explosive and other chemicals Ex: Mining, Pharma and Chemical Industries.

 Adoption of the NEC in Electrical Installation:

Cities and states adopt and implement a single set of electrical standards to protect the lives
of residents or employees from potential electrical dangers and also to avoid lawsuits. Hence,
electricians from all over the country take part in intensive training that meets the NEC
standards to start working as licensed professionals. The majority of states and their
respective jurisdictions adopt and enforce the NEC through a process that makes the code a
law. Failure to comply with the NEC is illegal. Amendments can be made based on how that
respective jurisdiction interprets a certain rule. Most states and cities go by the suggestions
and recommendations of NFPA's panels which has significantly qualified technical
committee member
 Features of National Electrical Code 2011:

1. National Electrical Code India' aims at focusing various provisions related to electrical
installation practices in India.
2. The code complemented and elaborated on the Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 for the ease
of application by the system engineers by recommending the best practices for electrical
installations in a consolidated form in order to provide for unified practices and procedures
along with consideration for safety and economic usage of energy in the design, execution,
inspection and maintenance of electrical installations of various locations.
3. The Code is divided into eight parts, which are further divided into sections. Part 1 covers
the General and common aspects, which would apply to all types of electrical installations.
4. It covers the requirements relating to standby or emergency generating stations and captive
substations intended for serving an individual occupancy and intended to serve a building
or a group of buildings normally housed in and around it.
5. It gives guidelines on layout and building construction aspects, selection of equipment,
transformer installations, switching stations and station auxiliaries.
6. It gives guidelines on layout and building construction aspects, selection of equipment,
transformer installations, switching stations and station auxiliaries.
  What is the purpose of National Electrical code:

The National Electrical Code (NEC) was created for the protection and safeguarding of industrial
personnel and property from potential dangers associated with electrical installations. The NEC is
the most superior and the preeminent electrical code in the country. Its primary goal is to establish
the foundation and the basis for electrical safety wherever required. When adopted as law in the
local jurisdictions, this code becomes even more important. Why is ensuring compliance with the
code important? Because compliance with the NEC makes sure that all power installations are secure
and free from potential hazards.

NEC is sponsored and maintained by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Based on
the inputs from the public, a committee - with several panels and a technical correlating committee
- crafts the regulations and standards of the code. The NEC is recognized and approved by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The NEC is revised and published tri- annually,
based on constant changes and modifications in electrical technology When a new change or update
is made to the code, a majority of states do not immediately adopt and implement them. It takes a
few months to a few years for the enforcement of the latest NEC edition. Additionally, states add,
omit, or modify specific sections of the NEC as per their requirements.

NEC was first published in 1897, and since then, no court in any state in the country has faulted
parties for complying with the latest edition. While it is true that updates are made, the NEC is also
unique, considering the fact it is the least amended model code. Any electrical service provider can
access the NEC in various formats - book and digital.
 The Structure of the NEC:

The NEC code consists of an introduction, index, annexes, and nine chapters. It touches on a
wide array of aspects concerning electrical safety and regulations, like enforcement, rules,
scope, and purpose. Apart from the mainstream information, the NEC Handbook also has
multiple cross- references, supplementary illustrations, and explanations to help professionals
understand the code better.

The National Electrical Code addresses the requirements concerning branch circuits-
specifically the involvement of fixtures and receptacles. The NEC specifies the required
minimum number of branch circuits in a location and the amount of spacing distance needed
between receptacles in electrical applications. Based on the type of application, the purpose,
and also the location, the requirements differ.

 Importance of Enforcing the NEC to Ensure Safety at Workplace:

Electrical hazards can cause grave physical danger and also loss of life. Workplace
environments that DO NOT comply with the NEC standards are places of risk and danger-
to both the equipment and also to the personnel.

It might surprise you, but a lot of workers are ignorant of these potential hazards. In some
cases, hazardous electrical installation is re-examined and rectified only after a major
accident happens. Arc blasts, shocks, and arc flashes pose a grave danger to the lives of
people in a certain facility and also around it.

What is the key to ensuring maximum safety? Consistent education, awareness, and ensured
compliance are the keys to safety. Production metrics and financial aspects shouldn't be used
as justifications for non-compliance.

In multiple jurisdictions, failed compliance with NEC rules is a violation of federal law. The
responsible organizations can face criminal indictments or large fines. Electrical safety
programs are the keys to ensuring employee protection, and all levels of personnel must be
included.
 The Information in NEC is Presented in 8 Parts according to NEC 2011:

1. General and Common aspects.

2. Electrical installation in standby generating station and substation.
3. Electrical installation in non- industrial buildings.
4. Electrical installation in industrial buildings.
5. Outdoor installation.
6. Electrical installation in agricultural premises.
7. Electrical installation in Hazardous area.
8. Solar Photovoltaic [PV] Power Supply System.

1. National Electrical Code Applies in general:

• It covers the requirements relating to standby or emergency generating station and captive
substation intended for serving an individual occupancy and intended to serve a building
normally housed in and around it. Ex: gated communities.
• It gives guideline on layout and building construction aspect, selection of equipment,
transformer installations, switching station and station auxiliaries.
• Harmonized with corresponding IEC standards, Indian specification standards.
• Code is intended to be advisory, not mandatory.

2. Electrical Installation in standby generating station and substation:

• This National Electrical Code (Part 2) is primarily intended to cover the requirements relating
to stand-by generating stations and captive substations intended for serving an individual
occupancy.
• As the general provisions relating to such installations are common and are themselves
elaborate in nature, it was felt essential to cover them in a separate part preceding the other
parts which cover
the requirements for specific installations.
• Generating stations covered by this Part 2 are the stand-by or emergency supply and captive
substations normally housed in or around the building in question.
3. Electrical Installation in non-industrial building:
• For the purposes of this Code, electrical installations in buildings have been broadly classified
as those in non-industrial and industrial.
• While a majority of installations could be categorically classified as nonindustrial, an
industrial complex would necessarily incorporate sub-units such as offices, residential
quarters and support services which are either housed or fall in the category of non-industrial
buildings.
• The requirement stipulated in Part 3 and Part 4 of this Code would therefore require judicious
application.

4. Electrical Installation in industrial building:

• Electrical networks in industrial buildings serve the purpose of distributing the required
power to the consuming points where it is used for a multitude of purposes in the industry.
• The design of electrical installation in industrial premises is therefore more complicated than
those in non-industrial buildings.
• Industrial installation has to take care of load requirements and supply limitations in a simple
and economic manner, ensuring at the same time full protection to human life and loss of
property by fire. The network layout should also facilitate easy maintenance and fault
localization.

5. Outdoor Installation:

• As compared to the various types of indoor installations covered in other Parts of this Code,
outdoor installations are distinct in nature by virtue of their being exposed to moderate to
heavy environmental conditions.
• In addition, electric power in outdoor installations is normally utilized for specific purpose
such as, lighting or for meeting the needs of heavy machinery (example, open cast mines).

6. Electrical Installation in Agricultural premises:

• This Part of the Code is primarily intended for covering the specific requirements of electrical
installations in agricultural premises which include premises where livestock are present and
farm produce are handled or stored.
• With the increase in sophistication in organizing the farm output of the country, and the use
of electricity for certain essential purposes, it has been felt necessary to cover the
requirements of such installations as a part of the Code.
7. National Electrical Code Applies in Hazardous Area:

• Many liquids, gases, vapors, and chemicals an industry generated, processed, handled and
stored. The areas comes under zone 0 ( more hazardous ), zone1 and zone2.
• With regard to electrical installations, ignition sources include arcs, sparks or hot surfaces
produced either in normal operation or under specified fault conditions.
• NEC provides guidelines for electrical installations and equipment in locations where a
hazardous atmosphere is likely to be present with a view to maximizing electrical safety.

8. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Supply Systems:

• This Part 8 of the Code covers essential requirements for electrical installations for power
supply system based on the solar photovoltaic energy including systems with ac modules.
• Solar energy is a natural resource which is, for practical purposes, free, renewable and
inexhaustible and can supplement/augment the depleting fossil fuel resources.
• Greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions which result from fossil fuel generation can be
offset by solar photovoltaic power generation. It can be used in decentralized/ distributed
mode.
