NEC Article 300 refers to the section in the National Electrical Code (NEC) that covers general requirements for wiring methods and materials. This article provides guidelines for the selection and installation of wiring systems in both residential and commercial buildings.
Article 300 includes provisions for determining the size and type of conductors, raceways, and enclosures based on the electrical load and environment, as well as requirements for grounding and bonding. It also outlines requirements for cable tray systems, wiring in ducts, and wiring in hazardous locations.
The purpose of Article 300 is to ensure the safe and efficient installation of electrical wiring systems by providing a standard set of guidelines for electricians, contractors, and inspectors to follow. These guidelines are designed to minimize the risk of electrical hazards, such as fires and shocks, and to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and regulations.
