National Electrical Safety Code

---

The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) is the industry accepted safety standard fro overhead and underground electric utility and communications utility installations and here is the most comprehensive interpretation book availabel on the subject.McGraw-Hill’s National Electric Safety Code (NESC) Handbook is written for the engineer, staking technician, power lineman, communications lineman, inspector, and safety administrator of an electric power or communication utility company, contracting company, or consulting firm. Employees involved with transmission, distribution, and substation design and construction should develop the highest possible understanding of the NESC to keep the public, utility workers, and themselves safe.rnMcGraw-Hill’s NESC Handbook is designed to be used in conjuction with the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This handbook presents hundreds of figuresand photos, plus examples and discussions to explain and clarify the NESC rules. The strightforward and practical information in this handbook is intended to aid the understanding of the sometimes confusing and complicated text in the NESC. This handbook follows the order of parts, sections, and rules as presented in the NESC including the general rules, substation rules (Part 1), overhead line rules (Part 2), underground line rules (Part 3), and work rules (Part 4). This format assures quick and easy correlation between the NESC rules and the discussions and explanations in this handbook. This handbook is most effectively used by referring to the NESC for the precise wording of a rule and then referring to the corresponding rule number in this handbook for a practical understanding of what the Code requires. Appendix A of this handbook includes over one hundred photos of NESC applications and violations. Appendix B of this handbook contains occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) standards related to the NESC work rules.rnThe National Electrical Safety Code is the bible for developing power and communications utility standards. Everything a utility does has some relevance to the NESC including line design, substation design, standard drawings, material purchases, pole placement, work practices, signage, and many othetrs. The NESC should not be confused with the NESC published by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). The NESC is used for residential, commercial, and industrial building wiring. It does not apply to utility systems although there is some overlap of the NESC and the NESC at a building service. The NESC is written as a voluntary standard. It can be adopted as law by individual states or other governmental authorities. To determine the legal status of the NESC, the state or other governmental authority should be contacted. The Code is written by various NESC committees. The organizations represented, subcommittees, and committee members are listed in the front of the Code book. The procedure for revising the NESC and a form for submitting a proposed change to the NESC are published in the back of the Code book. The NESC has an iterpretation committee that issues formal interpretations. The procedure for obtaining a formal interpretation is outlined in the front of the Code book. The NESC is currently published on a five year cycle. Urgent matters are handled through a Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA) process. Original work on the NESC began in 1931. This handbook is based on the 2002 edition of the NESC. rnMcGraw-Hill’s NESC Handbook is the only NESC handbook that focuses on the practical application of the current edition on the NESC. The numerous figures, photos, and examples make McGraw-Hill’s NESC Handbook the most complete and useful handbook available.rn
