S&C’s Power Systems Services Seminar:
Complete NESC 2007 Review
The NESC is one of the most important documents that an electric utility should adhere to. It frames the safety boundaries for maintenance, construction and design, and provides a practical set of rules that are now updated every five years. These rules and tables have been developed for the safety of the public and utility employees as well as the safe operation of the equipment itself. This seminar will provide a review of the entire 2007 NESC Code Book including insights that will help utility personnel understand it better and encourage its common use in everyday practice. With the recent release of the 2007 revision there is now an urgent need to become familiar with the latest version of the NESC Code Book and move to implement its changes.
Day one of this two-day seminar includes an overview of the code that will build a good understanding of its framework and content. The second day will then emphasize many key details, including a good coverage of the 2007 NESC changes. Each attendee will receive a set of course notes, but must bring their own copy of the 2007 NESC. Copies of the 2007 NESC can be purchased for and provided at the seminar; see the course registration for order information. Questions will be welcome at anytime throughout the seminar.
