AN OVERVIEW OF NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC) Prakash Bachani,Sc. E, BIS
Focus of the presentation Objectives of BIS Process of developing Standardization culture Involvement of all concerned in the process of Standardization through consensus Need for developing/improvement in Metering Standards Areas covered in Energy Metering Thrust on new areas as well as enhancement of the scope of the earlier version of Energy Meter Need to give wider coverage in key area of activities
Objectives Harmonious development of Standards Marking Quality Certification Provide new thrust to Standardization Quality Control To evolve a national strategy for according recognition to standards and integrating them with growth and development of production and exports
Structure for development of Standards
Standards are made with following in mind

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE 2011 National Electrical Code is under the scope of Electrical Installations Sectional Committee, ETD 20 ETD 20 is one of the 37 committees under Electro Technical Division Council of Bureau of Indian Standards Members of the Committee are from CEA, CPWD, State Electrical Inspectorates, Installation designers, engineers and contractors Standards and Codes are prepared through a process of consultation, consensus and public comment
SCOPE OF ETD 20 To prepare standards for safety and related matters in designing, erection and maintenance of electrical installations from the point of view of safety and good practice that would, amongst other things, promote compatibility between such standards and those concerning the equipment installed. The work includes electrical installations in buildings for different occupancies and outdoor sites of temporary or permanent nature and also installations in the ships The standards to be prepared will not cover codes pertaining to individual equipment.
SCOPE OF NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE The National Electrical Code covers the following: a) Standard good practices for selection of various items of electrical equipment forming part of power systems; b) Recommendations concerning safety and related matter in the wiring of electrical installations of buildings or industrial structures, promoting compatibility between such recommendations and those concerning the equipment installed. c) General safety procedures and practices in electrical work; and d) Additional precautions to be taken for use of electrical equipment for special environmental conditions like explosive and active atmosphere.
NEC APPLIES TO: Standby generating plants Building substations Domestic dwellings Office buildings Shopping and commercial centres Institutions Recreation and other public premises Medical establishments
NEC APPLIES TO: Hotels Sports buildings Industrial premises Temporary and permanent outdoor installations Agricultural premises Installations in hazardous areas Solar Photovoltaic installations
NEC DOES NOT APPLY TO: Traction, motor vehicles, installations in rollingstock, on board-ships, aircraft or installations in underground mines Systems of distribution of energy to public Power generation and transmission for such systems Guidelines on the payment for electrical work done in installations
NEC CONTENTS Part 1 General and Common Aspects (20 Sections) Part 2 Electrical installations in stand by generating stations and captive substations Part 3 Electrical installations in non-industrial buildings (7 sections) Part 4 Electrical installations in industrial buildings Part 5 Outdoor installations ( 3 sections) Part 6 Electrical installations in agricultural premises Part 7 Electrical installations in Hazardous area Part 8 Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power supply systems
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE Contains guidelines which can be adopted immediately Harmonized with corresponding IEC standards Code is intended to be advisory Code is not mandatory Should be adopted in interest of safety and economy Keep our electrical installation practices at par with the best international practices

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) In view of the importance of decentralized and distributed applications of solar photovoltaic energy and the potential of solar lighting systems following have been considered important: Solar water pumps and other solar power-based rural applications in changing the face of India s rural economy Growing usage of SPV in a number of products under various schemes of the MNRE Initiative by BIS Solar Photovoltaic Energy systems sectional committee, ETD 28 has taken up formulation of specific product standards covering the various products in vogue having SPV applications including Solar Lantern as well as Solar water pumps. The standards are already under development addressing LED based solar lanterns.
