EPISODE 2 — What Is the NEC Actually For?

Focus: 90.2(B) + 90.2(C)

🛡️ WHAT IS THE NEC'S PURPOSE?

It's not a design manual.
It's not a textbook for untrained people.

Slide 2 — 90.2(B)

⚡ PRACTICAL SAFEGUARDING

The NEC's purpose is the practical safeguarding of people and property from hazards arising from electricity.

That's the foundation.

Slide 3 — 90.2(C)

🚨 CODE COMPLIANCE ≠ PERFECT DESIGN

NEC compliance + proper maintenance produces an installation that is essentially free from hazard.

But that doesn't automatically mean it's:

❌ Efficient
❌ Convenient
❌ Designed for future expansion
