2023 NESC Updates

October 11, 2022

The 2023 National Electrical Safety Code will be released Aug. 1, 2022, and becomes effective Jan. 1, 2023. With many proposed changes and additions to the NESC—most directly affecting distribution systems—learning these changes is imperative for personnel responsible for the safe design, construction, and operations of an electric utility system. This one-day course will focus only on the changes to the NESC and will assume that participants have a working knowledge of the NESC. The changes will be addressed in terms of possibly required changes to design standards and work rules for electric utilities, with focus on distribution applications.
