  • 2020 National Electrical Code® Style Manual
    2020 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE® STYLE MANUAL 1 FOREWORD August 2020 The National Electrical Code® is used nationally and internationally as the basis for safeguarding persons, buildings, and their contents from hazards arising from the use of electricity. It is vitally important that the text be as explicit as possible, and that maximum consistency be achieved in the language used in the text. The Code contains those provisions considered necessary for safety and thus is widely used as a basis for legal enforcement in the installation of electrical conductors and equipment in buildings and certain other premises (as detailed in the Code itself); this places a major responsibility on those involved in the preparation of document text to use forms of expression that promote uniform interpretation. The National Electrical Code Correlating Committee has recognized these responsibilities and has issued this manual. Preparation and Date of Adoption. This manual was originally prepared by the Editorial Task Group of the National Electrical Code Committee and adopted by the National Electrical Code Correlating Committee on May 13, 1969. It was amended September 22, 1975, October 11, 1984, October 12, 1989, and May 9, 1994. In January 1999, the Correlating Committee Task Group on the Usability of the NEC rewrote the manual. It was adopted by the National Electrical Code Correlating Committee on March 19, 1999 and by the Standards Council on April 15, 1999. It was amended March 1, 2001, January 15, 2003, and August 9, 2011, August 2015, and December 2020. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword ........................................................................................................ 2 Chapter 1 General 4 1.1 Purpose ............................................................................................

  • 90 INTRODUCTION to the National Electrical Code
    ARTICLE INTRODUCTION TO THE 90 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE Introduction to Article 90—Introduction to the National Electrical Code Many NEC violations and misunderstandings wouldn’t occur if people doing the work simply understood Article 90. For exam- ple, many people see Code requirements as performance standards. In fact, the NEC requirements are bare minimums for safety. This is exactly the stance electrical inspectors, insurance companies, and courts take when making a decision regard- ing electrical design or installation. Article 90 opens by saying the NEC isn’t intended as a design specification or instruction manual. The National Electrical Code has one purpose only, and that’s the “practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity.” The necessity of carefully studying the NEC rules can’t be overemphasized, and the role of textbooks such as this one is to help in that undertaking. Understanding where to find the rules in theCode that apply to the installation is invaluable. Rules in several different articles often apply to even a simple installation. Article 90 then describes the scope and arrangement of the NEC. The balance of this article provides the reader with informa- tion essential to understanding the Code rules. Typically, electrical work requires you to understand the first four chapters of theNEC which apply generally, plus have a working knowledge of the Chapter 9 tables. That understanding begins with Article 90. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 make up a large portion of the Code, but they apply to special occupancies, special equipment, or other special conditions.

    Page 26 1. CONDUCTORS Conductors are defined as materials that easily allow the flow of _________. Metals are _______ conductors while insulators are ______ . The 2 common metals used for conductors in the electrical trade are: ___________ and ______________. Aluminium has become more prevalent for larger C.S.A. conductors as it is cheaper and lighter but more brittle than copper. Current/ Copper/ Aluminium Thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) consists of an outer toughened sheath of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (the thermoplastic element) covering one or more individual cables which are PVC insulated annealed copper conductors. It is a commonly used type of wiring for residential and light commercial construction in many countries. The flat version of the cable with two insulated conductors and an uninsulated earth conductor all within the outer sheath is referred to as twin and earth. In mainland Europe, a round equivalent is more common. Flat cables (or festoon cables) are made in PVC and Neoprene and are used as trailing cables for cranes, open filed conveyors and shelve service devices. Flat cables offer the advantages of extremely small bending radius’s, high flexibility and minimum wastage of space. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) consists of an outer toughened sheath of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (the thermoplastic element) covering one or more individual cables which are PVC insulated annealed copper conductors.
