Preface

McGraw-Hill’s National Electric Safety Code (NESC ® ) Handbook is written for

the engineer, staking technician, power lineman, communications lineman,
inspector, and safety administrator of an electric power or communication util-
ity company, contracting company, or consulting firm. Employees involved
with transmission, distribution, and substation design and construction should
develop the highest possible understanding of the NESC to keep the public, util-
ity workers, and themselves safe.
McGraw-Hill’s NESC Handbook is designed to be used in conjunction with
the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) published by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This Handbook presents hundreds of figures
and photos, plus examples and discussions to explain and clarify the NESC
rules. The straightforward and practical information in this Handbook is
intended to aid the understanding of the sometimes confusing and complicated
text in the NESC. This Handbook follows the order of parts, sections, and rules
as presented in the NESC including the general rules, substation rules (Part 1),
overhead line rules (Part 2), underground line rules (Part 3), and work rules
(Part 4).This format assures quick and easy correlation between the NESC rules
and the discussions and explanations in this Handbook. This Handbook is
most effectively used by referring to the NESC for the precise wording of a rule
and then referring to the corresponding rule number in this Handbook for a
practical understanding of what the Code requires. Appendix A of this Hand-
book includes over one hundred photos of NESC applications and violations.
Appendix B of this Handbook contains Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) standards related to the NESC work rules.

xiv PREFACE

The National Electrical Safety Code is the "bible" for developing power and
communication utility standards. Everything a utility does has some relevance
to the NESC including line design, substation design, standard drawings, mate-
rial purchases, pole placement, work practices, signage, and many others. The
NESC should not be confused with the National Electrical Code (NEC) published
by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). The NEC is used for residential,
commercial, and industrial building wiring. It does not apply to utility systems
although there is some overlap of the NESC and the NEC at a building service.
The NESC is written as a voluntary standard. It can be adopted as law by indi-
vidual states or other governmental authorities. To determine the legal status of
the NESC, the state or other governmental authority should be contacted. The
Code is written by various NESC committees. The organizations represented,
subcommittees, and committee members are listed in the front of the Code book.
The procedure for revising the NESC and a form for submitting a proposed
change to the NESC are published in the back of the Code book. The NESC has an
interpretation committee that issues formal interpretations. The procedure for
obtaining a formal interpretation is outlined in the front of the Code book. The
NESC is currently published on a five year cycle. Urgent matters are handled
through a Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA) process. Original work on the
NESC began in 1913. This Handbook is based on the 2002 edition of the NESC.
McGraw-Hill’s NESC Handbook is the only NESC Handbook that focuses on
the practical application of the current edition of the NESC. The numerous fig-
ures, photos, and examples make McGraw-Hill’s NESC Handbook the most
complete and useful handbook available.
Reference material for the interested reader includes The Lineman’s and
Cableman’s Handbook by Thomas M. Shoemaker and James E. Mack, McGraw-
Hill’s National Electrical Code Handbook by Joseph F. McPartland and Brian J.
McPartland, and the Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers, by Donald G.
Fink and H. Wayne Beaty, all published by McGraw-Hill.
This Handbook should be used as a reference for understanding and apply-
ing the rules in the NESC. This Handbook is not an official Code document and
does not contain official NESC committee interpretations.

Section 01

Introduction to the National

Electrical Safety Code

010. PURPOSE

The very first rule in the NESC outlines the purpose of the entire book. The rules
contained in the NESC are provided for the “practical safeguarding of persons dur-
ing the installation, operation, or maintenance of electric supply and communica-
tion lines and associated equipment.” The persons the Code is referring to are both
utility employees and the general public. The Code uses the term electric supply
for electric power. The Code covers electric supply lines and associated equip-
ment. Examples of associated equipment are substations, transformers, reclosers,
regulators, etc. The Code also covers communications lines and equipment. Com-
munications utilities include but are not limited to telephone and cable TV.
The codebook contains the basic provisions necessary for safety. The Code is
not intended to be a design manual. The Code specifies what needs to be
accomplished for safety, not how to accomplish it. Values for clearance and
structure strength must not be less than the values indicated in the Code for
safety purposes. Clearance and strength values can certainly be greater than the
Code specifies, but greater values are not required for safety.
For example, if the Code clearance of a 12.47/7.2-kV phase conductor is 18.5 ft
over the ground, the Code does not specify how high the poles have to be or
where the wires are attached on the pole to obtain the 18.5-ft clearance. Selecting
the proper pole heights and attachment heights is a design function. The Code
does require that the phase wires be not less than 18.5 ft high (they can cer-
tainly be higher). Some utilities establish clearance values by using the Code
3
Sec01_Marne_136262-6 1/25/02 9:51 AM Page 4

4 GENERAL SECTIONS Rule 011

clearance plus an adder. The adder could be thought of as a design or construc-

tion tolerance adder to maintain the required Code clearance. A line designed
for exactly 18.5 ft of clearance could end up having problems meeting Code.
There are several factors that could jeopardize the 18.5-ft clearance. One factor
could be that the pole hole was dug 6 in deeper than it should be dug. Another
factor might be a slight rise in elevation at midspan that was not detected due
to the fact that the ground line was not profiled or surveyed. Using a clearance
adder (say 3 ft in this case) would require designing the line to 21.5 ft instead
of 18.5 ft. The clearance adder could help meet and maintain the required Code
clearance. See Rule 230I for a discussion of maintaining clearances over the life
of an installation.
There are many design standards available for utility companies to reference.
The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) publishes transmission, distribution, and
substation design manuals. Many larger utilities develop their own design
manuals. Each manual written must be in compliance with the Code, as the
Code is the “bible” for all utility work.
The Code states that rules apply to specified conditions. One example of the
specified conditions is overhead line clearance over a road subject to truck traf-
fic. In NESC Appendix A (NESC Fig. A4), the Code shows a reference component
(of a truck) to be 14 ft. This is the maximum standard height of a truck traveling
down the highway. The mechanical and electrical clearance component is 4.5 ft,
for a total of 18.5 ft of clearance. These are the specified conditions. If an over-
head line is being designed for a mining installation and the conditions are that
22-ft-high trucks are used, then this condition requires that the same line be
designed with a 26.5-ft clearance (22′  4.5′  26.5′).

011. SCOPE

This rule defines what is covered in the National Electrical Safety Code and what
is not covered. The NESC covers supply and communication lines equipment
and work practices carried out by a public or private utility company or a com-
pany functioning as a utility. The NESC basically applies to electric supply
(power) and communications utilities. Communications utilities include, but
are not limited to, telephone and cable TV. An example of an organization not
normally thought of as a utility but functioning as a utility could be a univer-
sity system campus or an industrial complex that owns a high-voltage distribu-
tion system.
The Code does not cover utilization wiring in buildings. The code that does
cover building wiring is the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC is the
“bible” for the electrical building industry and is used primarily by engineers
and electricians. The NESC is the “bible” used primarily by utility engineers
and utility linemen. See Fig. 011-1.
In places the NESC and the NEC overlap. One location is at the service to a
building. For an overhead electric service, the typical dividing point between
the NESC and the NEC is the conductor splice at the weatherhead. This is the
Sec01_Marne_136262-6 1/25/02 9:51 AM Page 5

Rule 011 INTRODUCTION TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY CODE 5

Fig. 011-1. Differences between the NESC and the NEC (Rule 011).

dividing line between the electric utility function and the electric utilization
function. For underground services the typical dividing point can vary. Some
utilities provide service to the terminals on the underground meter base. Others
provide service to the property line and the customer provides wiring after that
point. Sometimes a utility will have the customer install secondary wiring from
the pad mount transformer to the meter but then the utility will take ownership
of this wiring. To determine whether the circuit is covered under the NESC or the
NEC, the ownership of the circuit and who maintains and controls the circuit are
important factors to consider. Some utilities use a direct buried splice to provide
a clear transition point between the two codes. See Fig. 011-2.
Control of the street lighting is the important factor to consider when deter-
mining whether street lighting is covered under the NESC or the NEC. Street
lighting that is metered usually falls under NEC requirements. Street lighting
that is not metered and is owned, operated, and maintained by the utility typi-
cally is covered under the NESC. The main differences between street lighting
covered under the NESC and street lighting covered under the NEC are ground-
ing methods and overcurrent protection requirements.
The dividing line between the NESC and the NEC for a communications circuit
is typically the building network interface device or demarcation point. This sep-
arates the utility communications function from the building communications

function. The Code does not cover installations in mines, ships, railway load-
ing equipment, aircraft, or automotive equipment. These industries have their
own standards.

012. GENERAL RULES

This rule provides three general rules for applying the Code. Rule 012A
requires that the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of electric
supply and communication lines equipment must be in accordance with the
NESC. Rule 012B requires that utilities or other organizations performing work
for the utility, such as a contractor, are the responsible parties for meeting NESC
requirements for design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Rule 012C
acknowledges that the Code cannot cover every conceivable situation. Where
the Code does not specify a rule to cover a particular installation, construction
and maintenance should be done in accordance with “accepted good practice”
for the local conditions known at the time. This does not mean that the Code
can be ignored for a condition that is covered in the Code. If “accepted good
Sec01_Marne_136262-6 1/25/02 9:51 AM Page 7

Rule 013 INTRODUCTION TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY CODE 7

practice” is used because a specific Code rule does not exist, the National Elec-
trical Code (NEC) can sometimes be a good reference to find an “accepted good
practice.” Other standards can also be referenced or “accepted good practice”
may be determined by reviewing utility operating records to find out what
practices work for local conditions. Rule 012 applies to both supply and com-
munication utilities during the design, construction, operation, and mainte-
nance of lines and equipment. The NESC applies during the initial design and
construction and during the life of the installation (i.e., during operation and
maintenance).

013. APPLICATION

New installations and extensions are covered under Rule 013A. This rule clearly
states that all new installations and extensions must adhere to the provisions of
the NESC. Rule 013A1 does allow the administrative authority (i.e., the public
service commission) to waive or modify this rule if safety is provided in other
ways. An example is listed in the Code to clarify this statement. Rule 013A2 rec-
ognizes that new types of construction and methods may be used even if they
are not covered in the Code. This must be done under qualified supervision, for
example, under the direction of a registered professional engineer, who is using
engineering judgment and collecting data on the new construction. Equivalent
safety must be provided. On joint-use (power and communications) facilities,
both the power and communication utilities must agree to the methods not cov-
ered in the Code. Since the Code is on a 5-year revision cycle, many times new
construction methods arise during the 5-year period and then are included in a
future edition of the Code.
Rule 013B discusses how the Code is applied to existing installations. Very
simply, if an existing installation, including maintenance replacements, com-
plies with a prior edition of the Code, the installation does not have to be mod-
ified to meet the present Code. Many people term this a “grandfather clause.”
The basic idea sounds simple; however, caution must be used when applying
this rule. Rule 013B1 states that if an existing installation is altered to meet the
current NESC, the installation is considered to apply to the current edition.
Rule 013B2 recognizes existing installations, and maintenance replacements
that comply with a prior edition need not be modified for today’s edition.
Modifications may be required for safety reasons by the administrative author-
ity (i.e., public service commission). Caution needs to be taken to determine if
the existing installation complies with a prior Code. Normally electric supply
and communication engineers have the most current codebook sitting upon
their desk and field people do not have prior codebooks lying around in their
trucks. Even if something as simple as adding a transformer to an existing
installation or replacing an existing pole is being done, the utility performing
the work must be careful not to blindly assume that the existing situation com-
plies with a prior Code. Rule 013B3 further clarifies what requirements apply
to an existing installation. This rule specifically discusses conductors and
Sec01_Marne_136262-6 1/25/02 9:51 AM Page 8

8 GENERAL SECTIONS Rule 014

equipment that are added, altered, or replaced on an existing structure. Again

this rule states that the installation will comply with the Code if the Code at
the time of the original installation is met, or a later edition of the Code is met
in which the installation was brought into compliance, or the rules of this edi-
tion are met.
The application of a “grandfather clause” should not be confused with main-
taining clearances and the change in land use under a supply or communica-
tions line. See Rule 230I for a discussion.
When applying Rule 013B, it is important to realize that Rule 202 requires
use of the current edition of Rule 238C even for a pole maintenance replace-
ment. See Rules 202 and 238 for additional information.

014. WAIVER

In this rule the Code recognizes the need to waive or modify rules in cases of
emergency or temporary installations. The Code grants the person responsible
for the installation the ability to modify or waive rules with specific require-
ments. Both Rule 014A for emergency installations and Rule 014B for temporary
overhead installations apply to clearance and strength of overhead lines. The
Code does not specify a time length for temporary installations or define an
emergency installation. The Code makes it very clear that temporary installa-
tions may not have reduced clearance. See Fig. 014-1 for a summary of the
requirements of this rule.

015. INTENT

This rule defines three key NESC words: “shall,” “should,” and “RECOMMEN-
DATION.” Code rules containing the word “shall” indicate that the rule is
mandatory and the rule must be met. Not complying with a rule that contains
the word “shall” is a direct Code violation. Code rules containing the word
“should” indicate requirements that are normally and generally practical for
the specified conditions. The Code does recognize that under certain circum-
stances some rules may not be practical. Where this is the case, the word
“should” is used. Under the definition of “should,” the Code references Rule
012 that requires “accepted good practice” to be used. If at all possible the
words “should” and “shall” should be considered the same. If it is not possible
to treat “should” the same as “shall,” it is prudent to document the specific
conditions that prohibit a utility from applying the Code rule that contains the
word “should” and it is prudent to apply an “accepted good practice” that pro-
vides an equivalent degree of safety for the specific conditions. The Code uses
the word “RECOMMENDATION” for provisions that are considered desirable
but not intended to be mandatory. This is the least stringent of the three terms
