Full Description

New IEEE Standard - Active. The 2023 Edition of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC)(R) consists of the introduction, definitions, grounding rules, lists of referenced and bibliographic documents, and Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4, which cover practical safeguarding of persons during the installation, operation, or maintenance of electric supply stations, overhead supply and communications lines, and underground or buried supply and communication cables. The 2023 NESC(R) Handbook is an essential companion to the Code, and it includes text directly from the Code, which provides users an easy reference back to the Code, ruling-by-ruling. It gives users insight into what lies behind the NESC's rules and how to apply them. The Handbook was developed for use at many levels in the electric and communication industries, including those involved in system design, construction, maintenance, inspection, standards development, and worker training. The Handbook also discusses how the NESC Committee has developed the rules in the Code and responded to change proposals during the past 100 years, allowing users to understand how questions may have been dealt with in the past.

 THE NEW 2023 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY CODE

An overview of the NESC and significant changes in the 2023 Edition

Wednesday, September 28 • 12:00-3:30 PM EDT

The 2023 edition of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) will be published on August 1, 2022 and go into effect on February 1, 2023 . The NESC is the national standard for safety in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of electric utility systems.

NESC 2023 changes

Collaborative Learning, Inc. offers programs on the NESC that vary in length from one-half to three days (3-18 contact hours) in whatever format and length best meets the needs of our clients.   This includes on-site or on-line programs. All programs address the origins of the NESC and its fundamental application to electric utility transmission and distribution systems, highlighting the important changes that are effective with the 2023 edition.  Longer programs will allow more extensive and in-depth coverage of topics, as well as practice exercises for participants. 

Program Highlights

ü  NESC purpose, organization and application

ü  Significant revisions contained in the 2023 NESC

ü  NESC compliance, legal liability and risk
     management 

ü  Rule interpretations and sources of help for
     compliance

ü  Recognition and correction of code violations

ü  Integration of NESC requirements into design,
     construction, and maintenance practices

ü  Safety and work rules for construction and
     operations personnel

ü  Code interpretation and compliance issues
     contributed by course participants

Who Should Attend

Managers, safety professionals, electric utility engineers, designers, technicians, and all field personnel who are responsible for or who make decisions concerning transmission and distribution systems. The course is conducted at a practical level and is appropriate for degreed professionals, including engineers and engineering technicians, as well as skilled craft personnel, field supervisors and non-degreed high school graduates with a general knowledge of the electric utility system.

Course Level:

This course does not have prerequisites and does not require advance preparation; however, familiarity with the NESC will be helpful in gaining a more in-depth understanding of the code changes and their ramifications.

About the Instructors

R. John Miner, Tom Black, Erich Schoennagel and Ted Dimberio are effective and experienced adult education instructors with extensive electric utility engineering, operations, safety, and management experience. All four have worked with the NESC throughout their careers.  Collaborative Learning (CL) has delivered NESC programs to a wide range of audiences throughout the U.S. for more than 25 years.

Major updates to the 2023 Edition include:

    Rules 190-195: New rules for Photovoltaic (PV)
       generating stations.

    Rule 116c: Adds EXCEPTION for providing short-
       circuit protection if < 1000 V and short lengths of
       insulated power cables.

    Rule 320B: Revised to clarify separations apply
       to communications and supply in different conduit
       systems.

    Table 410-4: Adds new Table based on latest
