National Electric Safety Code (NESC)

The National Electric Safety Code (NESC) sets technical standards and safety guidelines for the design, construction, and maintenance of electric utility systems, including power lines and substations. It aims to ensure the safety of workers, the public, and the reliable delivery of electricity by addressing issues like proper clearances, grounding, and equipment safety. The NESC is regularly updated by industry experts to reflect current technology and safety practices, serving as a crucial reference for utility companies and professionals in maintaining safe and efficient electrical infrastructure.
