Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1R
The code that sets the standards for electrical installation work is NEC.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the basic standard code and it sets the standards for electrical installation work. The NEC safeguards the persons and property from hazards during the usage of electricity.
The local and state electrical regulations and codes should also be considered along with the NEC for electrical installation work.
Conclusion:
Thus, the code that sets the standards for electrical installation work is NEC.
