The National Electrical Code, which is the United States' most widely-adopted standard for safe installation electric systems, is known as the NEC. Every three years, the NFPA releases a new edition of the NEC. It's regularly updated to reflect the most recent technologies, as well to help protect people against fires caused electrical shocks.
NEC sets the standard in safe electric systems for residential, commercial, and industrial use. It covers everything, from outlets locations, receptacles, outlets, wiring to grounding or GFCI protection.
It requires that receptacles be within reach of a six-foot cord, which reduces the risk of tripping. Tamper-resistant receptacles are available to prevent children from inserting objects in the wire.
There is no limit on the number of receptacles that can be installed in a house or business. However, the circuit capacity must not exceed 100 amps. Each structure should have its own service drop, and must be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses.
The minimum height for breaker boxes is 4ft and the maximum height is 6ft. They can't be installed in bathrooms. The breaker box doors must open 90 degrees and be free of obstacles.
If the receptacle is situated in the same area as a switching device, it must be connected with a neutral cable to the switch. This is important for electronic devices and switches that use constant electricity.
This is especially true for lamps and other appliances, as also for plug-in heat and air conditioners. It is also applicable to outdoor and indoor receptacles.
Grounding all electrical circuits is essential, even those that serve hot tubs or pools, is also important. Plumbing, phone lines, coaxial cable and gas piping systems must also be grounded to avoid dangerous sparks or arcing.
Ground fault circuit interrupter (or GFCI) is an automatic system that cuts off power if there is a short in the lines. It is required in every room and can save lives if activated with an alarm.
Tamper-resistant receptacles can be used outdoors and indoors. They can be used to prevent children from pulling cords or inserting paper clips into the outlet.
Most cases require that a grounding cable be run to all locations of the NEC. This is a crucial feature for electronic devices that only require a small amount constant electricity. However, it also serves as a grounding wire for other types switches that can be pulled easily by a child.
The NEC also requires tamper-resistant outlets and receptacles in most rooms, both inside and out. These plugs can be used to prevent children from tampering with the plug and prevent them from tripping or causing fires.
Before undertaking any type electrical work it is a good idea for you to consult your local building department. They usually follow the NEC but may have variations that apply to your specific town or municipality.
