Revisions in the 2008 NFPA 70™:
National Electrical Code boost public safety, emergency
preparedness, Code usability, and worker protection.
Only the 2008 NEC includes
the latest rules for electrical installation in residential,
commercial, and industrial occupancies. It also introduces:
- New article on Critical Operations Power
Systems with provisions for electrical security in public and
private facilities that must stay online during a crisis, such as
public safety dispatch centers and hospital ICUs
- New article on Electrified Truck Parking
Spaces with NEC rules for outlets to run on-board
electrical systems, reducing truck emissions and fuel consumption
caused by idling during driver rest times
- Revised requirements for AFCI and GFCIs in
dwellings. Since arcing faults on wiring systems and extension
cords can cause home fires, the Code expands AFCI use to living
areas.
- New rules for tamper-resistant receptacles
respond to NEISS reports that thousands of children are treated in
hospitals every year for burns received as a result of inserting
objects into receptacles.
- New provisions in Article 210, Article 410,
and elsewhere in the Code reduce worker hazards and correlate with
NFPA 70E® worker safety
rules.
- Plus hundreds of other revisions
Usability changes facilitate your
work!
You'll find greater consistency in grounding
and bonding terminology…new shading behind revised text that lets
you see what's new at a glance…and new identifiers at the top of
each page in the NEC index for speedier referencing.
