NESC® 2017: National Electrical Safety Code
IEEE has developed a series of online courses to educate power utility professionals on the rules, regulations, and changes in the 2017 edition of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). Taught by industry leaders who helped write the standard, this course program takes an in-depth look at the NESC and covers the Code in its entirety. Topics discussed include: NESC Overview; 2017 Updates and Changes; Supply Station Safety; Grounding; Overhead Requirements; and Underground Requirements.
The NESC is updated every five years to account for innovations in technology and new challenges confronted on the field. It is essential that utility workers, regulators, and other related personnel are trained on these changes to ensure their facilities are properly safeguarded.
