Electrical Apprenticeship Basic Code ELAP 105 1.0 Page 3 Introduction to the Canadian Electrical Code The Canadian Electrical Code ( CEC ) provides safety standards for installation and maintenance of electrical equipment to prevent electrical fire and shock hazards. Codes are standards that deal with safety issues and are enforceable by law. The object of the CEC is to keep the electrical industry standards high to prevent fire and shock hazards and it is not intended as an instructional manual for the untrained. The CEC is a minimum requirement and anything you do above it is making provisions for future growth. The CEC provides us with direction and guidance on how to achieve safe electrical wiring and equipment installations. The preliminary work in preparing the CEC was first introduced in 1920 and its intention was to maintain an industry standard. Sections 0 to 16 and 26 are considered general sections, and the other sections are supplement or amend the general requirements of this code. Changes that have been made to previous codes are designated by the delta ( ∆) triangle symbol in the margin. (See Preface in the CEC ) The appearance of the CEC is very intimidating there are several hundred pages; just keep in mind that this is an instruction manual and not something you want to read cover to cover.
Electrical Apprenticeship Basic Code ELAP 105 1.0 Page 4 H OW T O U SE T HE E LECTRICAL S AFETY C ODE B OOK The five steps listed below will help you breakdown a question or problem that has a solution in the Electrical Safety Code. They are as follows: Step No. 1 LOOK FOR A KEY WORD OR WORDS IN THE QUESTION TO USE IN THE INDEX. Pick a keyword that describes what you want to know about the main keyword. Use the keywords in the index to find the appropriate Rule Number that answers the question. Example: Luminaires in damp or wet locations Main Keyword is Luminaires – describes that it is in a wet location. Step No. 2 USE THE DEFINITIONS IN SECTION 0 TO HELP DESCRIBE THE MEANING OF WHAT IT IS YOUR LOOKING FOR. Example: See the definition of the word Luminaire — a complete lighting unit designed to accommodate the lamp(s) and to connect the lamp(s) to circuit conductors. Step No. 3 SCAN THE HEADINGS OF THE RULES TO FIND THE APPLICABLE RULE. Example: Use the index to get close to the proper section, and then scan the headings in that section. Headings will be in bold letters. Put the above steps to the test. Try the two following questions using the Electrical Codebook. 1. Where shall the disconnecting means for a distribution transformer be located? Key Word …transformers …asking the location of disconnecting means. CEC Rule 26-248 Shall be located in the primary circuit of each power transformer. 2. How many equivalent ninety degree bends are allowed in a raceway between outlet boxes? Key Word …raceway …asking about equivalent bends CEC Rule 12-942 Not more than 4 - 90 degree bends, including the bends located at an outlet or fitting.

Electrical Apprenticeship Basic Code ELAP 105 1.0 Page 15 Services and service equipment - CEC Section 6 - Assignment No. 5 The Code uses two terms to describe different applications of service entrance equipment: “consumer’s service” and “supply service”. The “supply service” conductors belong to the supply authority , and the supply authority is responsible for servicing and maintaining these conductors after their initial installation. While the initial installation can be done by either the supply authority or the customer, the final connections are done by the supply authority. The “consumer’s service” refers to the portion of the consumer’s installation from the service box or its equivalent up to and including the connection point of the supply authority . The consumer’s service, which includes conductors, provisions for metering equipment, and the service disconnect, brings electrical energy into the installation. It can then be distributed through distribution equipment to the individual branch circuits to meet the electrical requirements of the customer. January 2021 © 2021 Canadian Standards Association
