NEC stands for the National Electrical Code, a set of safety standards in the United States that governs how electrical systems are installed and maintained. It ensures electrical work is done safely to prevent hazards like shocks, fires, and equipment failures. The NEC is regularly updated by experts and adopted by local authorities to promote consistent safety practices. Essentially, it provides guidelines for electricians and builders to follow, helping protect people and property from electrical risks.
