The National Electrical Code The first documented case of a Code as a

requirement of rules was published on 16th Nov. 1881 entitled The Dangers of Electric Lighting.

The first NEC was developed in 1897, eighteen after the invention of incandescent light bulb by Thomas A. Edison.

Since 1911, the NFPA of Quincy, Massachussets, has been responsible for the maintenance and publication of the NEC.

Regularly revised (every three years) to reflect the evolution of products, materials, and installation techniques.

ELECTRICAL FIRES

If a fault develops, the current (and heat energy) can increase to the extent that either the appliance burns out, the connecting wiring overheats and melts the plastic insulation or the plug and socket may burn out.

An electrical fire then occur where the overheated wiring, motor, plug, etc. are in contact with or close to flammable or combustible material.

ELECTRICAL FIRE can be defined as a fire where an electric current or electrical fault is found to have been the source of ignition.

Universal Change

A universal change throughout the 2009 PEC is the replacement of computed load and demand load with calculated load. For example, the term demandload is being replaced with calculated load to improve clarity and to reduce confusion, especially when related to calculated load and demand factor.The term calculated load includes demand factor, the concepts of diversity, and historical data.

59



2.30.6 Service Equipment Disconnecting Means

a) Locationa) Readily Accessible Location. The service

disconnecting means shall be installed at a readily accessible location of a building or a structure. For a building, the service disconnecting means shall be installed either at the outside wall or inside nearest point of entrance of the service conductors to the building.

a) Location2) Bathrooms. Service disconnecting means

shall NOT be installed in bathrooms.

62



63



The title of Article 2.50 has been changed from Grounding to Grounding and Bonding.

Change Significance: The scope of the article clearly covers both grounding and bonding. Adding the term bonding to the title of the article is appropriate, and is consistent with the fact that there are generally as many bonding requirements and provisions included within Article 2.50 as there are grounding requirements, if not more.

Article 2.50 Grounding and Bonding

64



65



2.50.1.2 Definitions (Revision)

Effective Ground-Fault Current Path An intentionally constructed, permanent, low impedance electrically conductive path designed and intended to carry current under ground-fault conditions from the point of a ground fault on a wiring system to the electrical supply source and that facilitates the operation of the overcurrent protective device or ground-fault detectors on high-impedance grounded systems.

66



Effective Ground-Fault Current Path

Metal parts of premises wiring are bonded to an effectiveground-fault current path that has sufficiently low impedanceto quickly clear line-to-case faults by opening the circuit protection device.

67

3.10.1.4 Conductors in Parallel

The paralleled conductors in each phase, polarity, neutral, or grounded circuit conductor shall comply with all the following:1. Be the same length2. Have the same conductor material3. Be the same size in circular mil area4. Have the same insulation type5. Be terminated in the same manner.Why?????? .. See FPN:

74



3.10.1.5 Minimum Size of Conductors

The minimum size of conductors shall be as shown in Table 3.10.1.5, except as permitted elsewhere in this Code.

Removal of 10 previous exceptions were not needed

75



3.10.1.6 Shielding

In this sections exception, the voltage has been reduced from 8 kV to 2.4 kV for use of unshielded conductors. Cables operated at a voltage higher than 2.4 kV will now be required to be shielded.

Many cable manufacturers specifically recommend against the use of non-shielded cable above 2 kV because of arcing problems and cables without shielding have a very high failure rate.

76



3.10.1.8 Locations

d) Locations Exposed to Direct Sunlight. Insulated conductors and cables used where exposed to direct rays of the sun shall comply with one of the following: (be of a type listed for sunlight resistance or listed and marked sunlight resistant)1) Cables listed, or listed and marked , as being sunlight

resistant2) Conductors listed, or listed and marked , as being

sunlight resistant3) Covered with insulating material, such as tape or

sleeving, that is listed and marked ,as being sunlight resistant.

77



3.10.1.10 Temperature Limitation of Conductors

The PEC 2009 has added a new Fine Print Note with information on derating for conduits on rooftops that have direct sunlight exposures; 17C is the indicated value to be added to the outdoor ambient temperature to compensate for the direct solar gain.

78



79



3.10.1.15(b)(2) Adjustment Factors

A new last sentence has been added to 3.10.15(b)(2)(a) to require that individual conductors of paralleled sets be counted as current-carrying conductor. This is intended to clarify varying interpretations of whether each conductor of a paralleled set of conductors is required to be counted individually or if all of the conductors count as one for the purpose of derating. Clearly, each conductor of the parallel set is required to be counted individually for the purposes of rating.

(4) Neutral Conductor.a) A neutral conductor that carries only the unbalanced current

from other conductors of the same circuit shall not be required to be counted when applying the provisions of Section3.10.1.15(b)(2)(a).

b) In a 3-wire circuit consisting of two phase wires and the neutral of a 4-wire, 3-phase wye-connected system, a common conductor carries approximately the same current as the line-to-neutral load currents of the other conductors and shall be counted when applying the provisions of Section 3.10.1.15(b)(2)(a).

c) On a 4-wire, 3-phase wye circuit where the major portion of the load consists of nonlinear loads, harmonic currents are present in the neutral conductor; the neutral shall therefore beconsidered a current-carrying conductor.

Section 3.10.1.15(b)(4)

85



Notes

For metal auxiliary gutters, 3.66.2.14(a) indicates that derating is not required so long as the number of current-carrying conductors at any cross section does not exceed 30. A similar statement is included for sheet metal wirewaysin 3.76.2.13.

Derating for the number of current-carrying conductors in non-metallic auxiliary gutters and wireways is required, beginning at four-current carrying conductors, because conductors in non-metallic enclosures do not dissipate heat as well as those in sheet-metal enclosures.

86



Introduction

Art. 6.95 contains many requirements to keep that supply of water uninterrupted.

For example:1. Locating the pump so as to minimize its

exposure to fire.

2. Ensuring that the fire pump and its jockey pump have a reliable source of power.

3. It makes sense to keep fire pump wiring independent.

87



Introduction

Other requirements seem wrong at first glance, until you remember why the fire pump is there in the first place.

For example:1. The disconnect must be lockable in the

closed position.

2. Fire pumps power circuits cannot have automatic protection against overload.

88



Introduction

Its better to run the fire pump until its winding melt, than to save the fire pump and lose the facility

And the intent of Article 6.95 is to save the facility.
