Micro Project Report
1.0 Rational: -
National Electrical Code (NEC) is a set of regularly updated standards for the safe
installation of electric wiring in the United States. First published in 1897, the NEC is
updated once every three years.
The NEC provides guidelines for electrical installation in order to prevent fires and other
electrical accidents. Electricians and contractors need to be aware of NEC where applicable
to ensure that installations are safe, legal and up to code. The codes are a part of the National
Fire Protection Association, a private trade association.
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 Rule 1956, IE act 2003 and relevant standard for
the best practice and procedures along with consideration for safety and economic usage of
energy in the design, execution, inspection and maintenance of electrical installation of
various location .
The national electrical code is used, nationally and internationally as the basis for safe
guarding persons, buildings, and their contents from hazards arising from the use of
electricity.
National Electrical Code-2011 National electrical code describes several Indian standards
deciding with the various aspects relating to electrical installation practice. It is therefore
recommended that individual parts/ sections of the code should be read in conjunction with the
soft relevant Indian standards. There are 8 parts and each part contains number of sections. Each
section refers the description of the electrical item/ devices, equipment etc.
Section 1 part 1/ section 1 of the code describes the scope of the NEC.
Section 3 covers graphical symbols for diagrams, letter symbols and signs which may be referred
For further details.
Section 4 covers of guidelines for preparation of diagrams, chart and tables in electro technology
and for marking of conductors.
Section 6 covers standard values of AC and DC distribution voltage prefer values of current
ratings and standard systems frequency.
Section 8 covers guidelines for accessing the characteristics of buildings and the electrical
Section 9 Covers the essential design and constructional requirement for electrical wiring
installation.
Section 10 covers guidelines and general requirements associated with circuit calculators.
Section 11 covers requirements of installation work relating to building services that use
electrical power.
Section 14 covers general requirements associated with earthing in electrical installations. Specific
requirements for earthing in individual installations are covered in respective parts of the code.
Section 16 covers the protection requirements in low voltage electrical installation of buildings.
Section 17 covers causes for low power factor and guidelines for use of capacitors to
improve the same in consumer installations.
Section 18 covers the aspects to be considered for selection of equipment from energy
conservation point of view and guidance on energy audit
a) Good practices of safety and for selection of various electrical equipment forming part of
power systems;
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.
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:
• 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.
• 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.
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).
• 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.
