MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING December 15, 2021 Call to Order and Roll Call The meeting was called to order at 7:06 p.m. by Building Board of Appeals (BBA) Chairperson Thomas Bredfeldt. Roll was called. Present: Chairperson Tom Bredfeldt, BBA Members Brian Beck, Christopher Clark, Tom Tuscher and Barrington Pope. Absent: BBA Members Matthew Rooney and Robert Stahr. Public Comment Non-Agenda Items There was no public comment pertaining to non-agenda items. Approval of Minutes Draft minutes of the November 17, 2021 meeting were approved by voice vote following a motion by BBA Member Clark, seconded by Member Beck. Approval of Transcript The transcript from the meeting of November 17, 2021 was approved by voice vote following a motion by BBA Member Tuscher, seconded by Member Beck. Old Business Village Director of Community Development Staci Springer welcomed to the Board new member Barrington Pope, before providing a brief update on the building community listening session. She reported having received letters or emails with additional comments since the event took place, and said that feedback has been compiled into a chart format. She explained that, post-capture of input, the Village will move forward at a departmental or interdepartmental team level, brainstorming as to how to address these items. Action in response, she said, could entail tweaks to processes, adoption of new regulations, or a Code amendment. For some items, it might not be possible to implement the request. She said she intends to present an updated chart at each BBA meeting, and that further feedback is invited. She requested that those wishing to provide input try to do so before Christmas. She concluded her remarks by suggesting that interested attendees in the audience speak up. David Firchau, 108 S. Ellyn, a carpenter/contractor who owns Firchau Construction, said he would like to know what the relationship is between the Village and TPI for inspections, and what to expect in the process. He said he builds decks, gazebos and pergolas, and wished those present a Merry Christmas. Director Springer replied that TPI is a consultant that provides services, such as building and plumbing inspections, plan reviews and back-up staffing, to municipalities. Mr. Firchau said that the first permit he received in Glen Ellyn was in 1986, and that he used to be able to obtain one “on the spot,” as well as get revisions taken care of at the counter. He expressed that he favors quick resolution of and faster permitting, and indicated that he values working together. Bothered by delays, he exclaimed, “Five days is a long time when you’re in business.” Chairperson Bredfeldt asked if in the past redlines had been made at the counter, in response to which Mr. Firchau described a process entailing instruction, re-labeling/revising, initialing and permitting. Member Tuscher wondered what has changed. Mr. Firchau indicated that delays don’t always happen, but when they do, a project hold-up can snowball. Village Building and Zoning Official Steve Witt responded that 1 Staff is taking in comments from the building community, which are appreciated, in an effort to find ways to improve. Discussion of 2018 International Property Maintenance Code, with proposed amendments Building and Zoning Official Witt explained that he would go through proposed changes to the International Property Maintenance Code (as well as the National Electric Code), and referenced major changes that have occurred in the Property Maintenance Code from 2009 to 2012 to 2015, and the 2018 edition. He said the International Code Council publishes the Codes every three years, and that the Village is currently on a nine-year cycle for adopting updates – a cycle the Village is looking to tighten. (He said comparisons were also made with the 2009 edition.) He indicated that the focus would be on items deemed “most consequential to life in Glen Ellyn if the Code is adopted as it’s currently written.” Mr. Witt went on to discuss the two major provisions identified: He explained the Property Maintenance Code now addresses overcrowding of structures – primarily dwelling units. The other item that the new versions of the Code have, he said, is that they bring in requirements for the maintenance of fire-rated assemblies and talks about unsafe conditions. He said the Code language doesn’t say that something has to be installed, but rather explains how it is to be maintained (i.e., safe and fully operational). Another proposed change Mr. Witt brought up would have bearing on fences and landscaping installed close to a driveway on an adjacent lot – a configuration that can obscure views of pedestrians by drivers, and vehicles by pedestrians. He said Staff proposes establishing an approximately 20 ft. x 20 ft. “visibility triangle” allowing shrubbery and fences to be installed in situations where the driveway is up against the property line, but limit it to a height of no higher than 3 feet. The Code will also define in more detail profile requirements for fences around private swimming pools, hot tubs and spas, Mr. Witt recommends referencing passages in the Residential and Building Codes. He said other topics for consideration are establishing dates (e.g., October 1-May 15) for providing heat (at a minimum temperature of 68°) in dwelling units, and outlining temperature ranges for inside-business occupancies. Mr. Witt said Staff also has referenced safety codes for elevators, to match with the office of the State Fire Marshall, as posted on its site. According to Mr. Witt, concerns have been expressed about different fire safety aspects of buildings in town, particularly for the C5 Zoning District. There’s been for many years, he related, a notion that in lieu of requiring fire sprinklers in existing buildings to actually look at requiring a fire detection and alarm system to be installed. He also indicated that, stemming from concern about annexed properties, consideration of a Code provision that, if adopted, would require the installation of fire alarm and detection systems or potentially a fire-extinguishing system. Another item, he said, basically just gets the Code in sync with the Building Code, the Residential Code, and the State law for smoke detectors, and another, similarly for carbon monoxide detectors. Mr. Witt reviewed proposed requirements for the installation of fire protection systems for annexed properties. Noting “Continuity of Service,” Mr. Witt expressed concerns about subscription-based alarm systems a level of service could potentially hinge on whether the subscriber is current with payments. BBA Member Clark questioned language referring to a “search warrant,” thinking the correct term is “administrative warrant,” submitting that the Village wants the ability to administer inspections. Mr. Witt said he would review the language with the Village attorney. Pursuant to item #40, Chief Clark wondered if, along with the requirement of a fire alarm and detection system, there would be a system monitored off-site by a central or node station, to which Mr. Witt, 2 replied, “Currently, the answer to that would be, ‘Maybe’.” Mr. Witt explained that right now the Fire Code requires only assembly and educational occupancies to be direct-connected to DU-COMM. He said the Board could discuss changing this, but that generally it has to go to a third-party reporting station, and then go to DU-COMM. Mr. Clark asked if it would be “either/or,” to which Mr. Witt responded, that it could, saying he believes there’s a higher cost for equipment to be able to do the direct connection to DU- COMM. Mr. Clark advised ensuring off-site reporting, as well as requiring key boxes for premises with alarms. The Fire Chief then asked for confirmation that the Village is not going to allow a subscription alarm where the alarm doesn’t function locally without the subscription. Mr. Witt said this is correct. Mr. Witt brought up a concern about overflowing trash, particularly at multi-family buildings, and said that the concept of issuing a fine or citation on the spot might be considered to help strengthen provisions of the Code. He said he would prepare language to this effect for Board review and approval, as well as for the Pest Elimination Section, with regard to another issue that has come to mind: how to treat bedbugs in multi-family buildings. He endorses a provision that requires landlords fumigate the dwelling unit above, below and to the left and right of an infested unit, to prevent a building-wide health hazard. Discussion of 2017 NFPA 70, National Electric Code, with proposed amendments Official Witt introduced documentation displaying changes from the 2011 version (which the Village is currently on) and the 2014 version of the National Electrical Code to the 2017 edition, proposed for adoption. He said information is provided on new requirements for areas where GFCI outlets are going to be required, and which will now include shower stalls, and bathtub and laundry areas, etc. Mr. Witt pointed to a synopsis of changes made between the 2011 and the 2014 versions prepared by an official with the National Electrical Contractors Association, with sections highlighted that would most notably affect electrical work in Glen Ellyn. Mr. Witt referenced additional provisions for receptacles at wet locations or where receptacles are in a face-up position. He also mentioned protection for portable generators, tire inflation or automotive vacuum machines; provisions relative to photovoltaic systems and wind systems. He also cited articles related to the type of cable and raceway systems that are permitted by the NEC, but which he doesn’t think provide best service to homeowners or contractors. Mr. Witt drew attention to a survey of area municipalities relative to items the Village is looking to delete, showing that the majority of these towns, including Elmhurst and Lombard, have deleted the same electrical wiring concepts. Mr. Witt expressed concern about exposed conduits, saying that the Village is seeing more rooftop installations where EMT conduits are degrading and rotting out, leaving conductors exposed, which could potentially cause arc faults. He also mentioned Staff is looking at minimum service size for single-family dwellings to make sure that each of the conductors and the service entry are all rated for 100 amps, as well as is looking at issues to improve the grounding systems. He introduced Village Inspection Manager Rich Czajkowski, a licensed electrician, who he said could answer questions. BBA Member Clark asked if there is a limitation on the length of flexible metallic conduit (MC). Mr. Czajkowski said the trade is trying to get away from entire houses being installed with MC – as well as multi-family – as it’s not as versatile as EMT. He said the length is limited to 6 ft. Chairperson Bredfeldt said that he likes the requirement for using screw terminals. Mr. Czajkowski spoke about a change in arrays being good for firemen, and Chairperson Bredfeldt asked if arc fault circuit interrupters are addressed, to which Mr. Czajkowski responded affirmatively, adding that arc faults are required 2017 in all habitable spaces except bathrooms and garages, noting that each Code cycle has ramped up the requirements. He added that the devices have become more reliable, and indicated there’s some leeway in 3 application. Chairperson Bredfeldt observed that the industry is heading in a direction away from the old- fashioned-type circuit breakers to ground fault- or arcing fault-style breakers for every circuit. Confirming this, Mr. Czajkowski said that 2020 Code will feature a lot more GFCI. Mr. Witt said the Board could consider pulling a snippet from the 2020 Code and amend it into the 2017 version. A discussion of panel installation approaches ensued between Chairperson Bredfeldt and Mr. Czajkowski. Member Clark, seconded by Member Beck, made a motion to hold over to the next meeting making any recommendation relative to the Property Maintenance Code. The motion carried by voice vote. Building and Zoning Official Witt said he expects there will be a grace period before new regulations become effective. Member Beck, seconded by Member Clark, made a motion to accept the proposed National Electric Code modifications. The motion passed by voice vote. Trustee’s Report Trustee Liaison Kelley Kalinich had nothing to report. Chairman’s Report None. Staff Report Mr. Witt said that going forward the BBA might only review one book at a time, due to the substantial number of sections and changes to remaining Codes. He said, however, the agenda for the next meeting, tentatively scheduled for January 19, 2022, would likely be revisiting the Property Maintenance Code and probably beginning review of the Residential Code. Adjournment Chairperson Bredfeldt adjourned the meeting at 8:40 p.m., following a voice vote on a motion that was made by Member Tuscher and seconded by Member Beck. Respectfully submitted, Barbara Dutton-Thomas Recording Secretary 4

We heard verbal comments, questions and suggestions from local contractors, builders, and design professionals. The transcript of those comments was included in your agenda packet for this evening. Following the meeting, three of the attendees followed up with written correspondence. Another met with staff to offer his suggestions. Staff has compiled the comments into the attached chart. We are interested in seeking out any other comments that contractors would like to share for inclusion in the chart. To that end, we have invited the Building Community to the BBA meeting on December 15th. At the meeting we will share copies of the chart and briefly review it. We can then take additional comments from the audience. In our email invitation to the meeting, we requested that written comments be submitted prior to Christmas. We are also happy to schedule individual meetings to hear comments and concerns. Staff will then begin to meet internally to discuss each issue, brainstorm solutions, and prepare additional information and updates for presentation at future BBA meetings.

We have prepared attachments related to each of the codes which will assist us in walking through all the proposed amendments. At the meeting, we will provide background for the reasoning behind each of the proposed amendments as well as the proposed deletion or modification of existing amendments. The deletions noted on page one of the proposed amendments to the NEC will prohibit certain wiring types from being used within the Village. We performed a survey of several local communities to determine which, if any, of these wiring types they may also currently restrict. Attachment NEC-6 provides the results of that survey. [SS1] Specifically, the attachments to this memorandum include the following: 1. A summary indicating the major revisions to the each of the published code editions from our currently adopted edition to the proposed edition. Please note that the IPMC has undergone three new editions since 2009 and the NEC has gone through two. The summary includes the major changes for each of the updates so we can understand the full scope of the changes since the 2009 editions. The highlights on the summaries indicate what changes are deemed to have the most impact on construction within the Village. We recommend concentrating on those changes during any discussions. 2. A copy of the currently adopted amendments to the codes being reviewed that are already in effect. 3.

A “Clean” version of the combined existing and proposed amendments which eliminates the struck-thorough verbiage contained in the Redlined version to make for easier reading and reference. 5. Other attachments as deemed necessary to provide information for consideration by the BBA in their deliberation on the proposed codes. For example, the deletions noted on page one of the proposed amendments to the NEC will prohibit certain wiring types from being used within the Village. We performed a survey of several local communities to determine which, if any, of these wiring types they may also currently restrict. Attachment NEC-6 provides the results of that survey.

X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 2 - 12-15-21.docx Page 2 of 6 Page 129 of 223 Scope of Codes: International Property Maintenance Code, 2018 The International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) is a model code that regulates the minimum maintenance requirements for existing buildings. It establishes the minimum maintenance standards for basic equipment, light, ventilation, heating, sanitation and fire safety for all existing residential and nonresidential structures and all existing premises. Responsibility is fixed among owners, operators, and occupants for code compliance. The IPMC provides for the regulation and safe use of existing structures in the interest of the social and economic welfare of the community. The following is a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the scope and intent of the provisions of the International Property Maintenance Code as repeated, though not verbatim, from the preface of the 2018 IPMC. Chapter 1 Scope and Administration. This chapter contains provisions for the application, enforcement and administration of subsequent requirements of the code. In addition to establishing the scope of the code, Chapter 1 identifies which buildings and structures come under its purview. Chapter 1 is largely concerned with maintaining “due process of law” in enforcing the property maintenance criteria contained in the body of the code. Chapter 2 Definitions. All terms that are defined in the code are listed alphabetically in Chapter 2. While a defined term may be used in one chapter or another, the meaning provided in Chapter 2 is applicable throughout the code. Chapter 3 General Requirements. Chapter 3, “General Requirements,” is broad in scope. It includes a variety of requirements for the exterior property areas as well as the interior and exterior elements of the structure. This chapter provides requirements that are intended to maintain a minimum level of safety and sanitation for both the general public and the occupants of a structure, and to maintain a building’s structural and weather-resistance performance. Chapter 3 provides specific criteria for regulating the installation and maintenance of specific building components; maintenance requirements for vacant structures and land; requirements regulating the safety, sanitation and appearance of the interior and exterior of structures and all exterior property areas; accessory structures; vehicle storage regulations and establishes who is responsible for complying with the chapter’s provisions. This chapter also contains the requirements for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs and the requirements for protective barriers and gates in these barriers. Chapter 3 establishes the responsible parties for exterminating insects and rodents and maintaining sanitary conditions in all types of occupancies. Chapter 4 Light, Ventilation and Occupancy Limitations. The purposes of Chapter 4 are to establish the minimum environment for occupiable and habitable buildings, by establishing the minimum criteria for light and ventilation and identifying occupancy limitations including minimum room width and area, minimum ceiling height and restrictions to prevent overcrowding. This chapter also provides for alternative arrangements of windows and other devices to comply with the requirements for light and ventilation and prohibits certain room arrangements and occupancy uses. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 2 - 12-15-21.docx Page 3 of 6 Page 130 of 223 Witt commentary: The addition of occupancy limitation requirements for dwelling units to the 2018 edition of the code is perhaps the most significant change from previous editions. Many municipalities have previously struggled with the concern of overcrowding unless they wrote their own code to regulate the number of persons allowed to occupy dwelling units. The occupancy limitation provisions will provide a uniform approach to addressing occupancy loads across communities that have adopted the IPMC. Chapter 5 Plumbing Facilities and Fixture Requirements. Chapter 5 establishes the minimum criteria for the installation, maintenance and location of plumbing systems and facilities, including the water supply system, water heating appliances, sewage disposal system and related plumbing fixtures. Sanitary and clean conditions in occupied buildings are dependent upon certain basic plumbing principles, including providing potable water to a building, providing the basic fixtures to effectively utilize that water, and properly removing waste from the building. Chapter 5 establishes the minimum criteria to verify that these principles are maintained throughout the life of a building. Chapter 6 Mechanical and Electrical Requirements. Chapter 6 establishes minimum criteria for the installation and maintenance of the following: heating and air-conditioning equipment, appliances and their supporting systems; water heating equipment, appliances and systems; cooking equipment and appliances; ventilation and exhaust equipment; gas and liquid fuel distribution piping and components; fireplaces and solid fuel-burning appliances; chimneys and vents; electrical services; lighting fixtures; electrical receptacle outlets; electrical distribution system equipment, devices and wiring; and elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters. Chapter 7 Fire Safety Requirements. The purpose of Chapter 7 is to address those fire hazards that arise as the result of a building’s occupancy. It also provides minimum requirements for fire safety issues that are most likely to arise in older buildings. This chapter contains requirements for means of egress in existing buildings, including path of travel, required egress width, means of egress doors and emergency escape openings. Chapter 7 establishes the minimum requirements for fire safety facilities and fire protection systems, as these are essential fire safety systems. Chapter 8 Referenced Standards. The code contains numerous references to standards that are used to regulate materials and methods of construction. Chapter 8 contains a comprehensive list of all standards that are referenced in the code. The standards are part of the code to the extent of the reference to the standard. Compliance with the referenced standard is necessary for compliance with this code. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 2 - 12-15-21.docx Page 4 of 6 Page 131 of 223 NFPA 70, National Electric Code, 2017 The following is a summary of the scope and intent of the provisions of the NFPA 70, National Electric Code (NEC) as repeated, though not verbatim, from the published code. 90.1 Purpose. (A) Practical Safeguarding. The purpose of the code is the practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. The code is not intended as a design specification or an instruction manual for untrained persons. (B) Adequacy. The code contains provisions that are considered necessary for safety. Compliance therewith and proper maintenance result in an installation that is essentially free from hazard but not necessarily efficient, convenient, or adequate for good service or future expansion of electrical use. Informational Note: Hazards often occur because of overloading of wiring systems by methods or usage not in conformity with the code. This occurs because initial wiring did not provide for increases in the use of electricity. An initial adequate installation and reasonable provisions for system changes provide for future increases in the use of electricity. 90.2 Scope. (A) Covered. The code covers the installation and removal of electrical conductors, equipment, and raceways; signaling and communications conductors, equipment, and raceways; and optical fiber cables and raceways for the following: (1) Public and private premises, including buildings, structures, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and floating buildings (2) Yards, lots, parking lots, carnivals, and industrial substations (3) Installations of conductors and equipment that connect to the supply of electricity (4) Installations used by the electric utility, such as office buildings, warehouses, garages, machine shops, and recreational buildings, that are not an integral part of a generating plant, substation, or control center X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 2 - 12-15-21.docx Page 5 of 6 Page 132 of 223 Recommendation: We recommend that the Building Board of Appeals approve a motion to adopt the following codes as may be amended through discussion at the December 15 meeting.  International Property Maintenance Code, 2018  NFPA 70, National Electric Code, 2017 Att: Attachment IPMC-1: Major changes to the International Property Maintenance Code, 2012, 2015 and 2018 Editions Attachment IPMC-2: Property Maintenance Code – Existing Amendments Attachment IPMC-3: Property Maintenance Code – Proposed Amendments (Redlined) Attachment IPMC-4: Property Maintenance Code – Proposed Amendments (Clean) Attachment NEC-1: Major Changes from the 2011 to 2014 NFPA 70, National Electric Code Attachment NEC-2: Major Changes from the 2014 to 2017 NFPA 70, National Electric Code Attachment NEC-3: NFPA 70, National Electric Code – Existing Amendments Attachment NEC-4: NFPA 70, National Electric Code – Proposed Amendments (Redlined) Attachment NEC-5: NFPA 70, National Electric Code – Proposed Amendments (Clean) Attachment NEC-6: NFPA 70, National Electric Code – Local Communities Survey X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\Building Codes Upgrade Staff Report - Meeting 2 - 12-15-21.docx Page 6 of 6 Page 133 of 223 Attachment IPMC-1 Major changes to the International Property Maintenance Code 2012, 2015 and 2018 Editions The following is an overview of major changes that have occurred in the International Code Council’s International Property Maintenance Code 2012, 2015 and 2018 editions.

Attachment NEC-6 NEC - Local Communities Survey Page 158 of 223 Attachment NEC-1 Major Changes from the 2011 to 2014 NFPA 70, National Electric Code Note: The following discussion on the changes from the 2011 to the 2014 edition of NFPA 70, National Electric Code, were written by Michael Johnson, Executive Director of Standards and Safety for the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), in an article titled 2014 NEC Outlook, published on the Electrical Contractor magazine website www.ecmag.com. This list is not all-encompassing. The full list of changes published by NFPA is over 80 pages in length. We have highlighted in yellow the section titles for which the new requirements are believed to have the most affect on electrical work performed within the Village of Glen Ellyn. Article 393 Low Voltage Suspended Ceiling Power Distribution Systems (ROP 18-10a) This new article covers the installation of low-voltage suspended ceiling power distribution systems. These systems serve as a structural support for a finished ceiling surface and consist of a conductor support system (small busbars) to distribute power to utilization equipment supplied by a Class 2 power supply. These systems operate at not more than 30V DC and not more than 60V AC and are required to be listed as a complete system that includes all associated fittings and required power supplies. Article 646 Modular Data Centers (ROP 12-147) This new article covers modular data centers, including the definition of, the nameplate data for, and the size and overcurrent protection of supply conductors to modular data centers. This article also covers the equipment, electrical supply and distribution, wiring and protection, working space, grounding, HVAC, and the like, located in or associated with a modular data center. Article 728 Fire Resistive Cable Systems [ROP 3-170] This new article covers the installation of fire resistive cables, conductors and other system components used for survivability of critical circuits to ensure continued operation during a specified time under fire conditions as required in this Code and in other NFPA standards. Fire resistive cables, conductors and components are tested as a complete system. The system shall be listed. The cables, conductors and components are designated for use in a specific system and shall not be interchanged between systems. Cables, conductors and components shall be suitable for use in accordance with the wiring methods described in the NEC. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 1 of 21 Page 159 of 223 Article 750 Energy Management Systems (ROP 13-180) This new article applies to the installation and operation of energy management systems. Performance provisions related to energy management and conservation in other codes, such as energy codes developed by other model code groups, establish prescriptive requirements that may further restrict the requirements contained in this article. The NEC provides users with a baseline that establishes general requirements for energy management systems and provides a list of loads that should not be controlled by these systems. Annex J ADA Standards for Accessible Design (ROP 1-191) Informative Annex J is new and titled “ADA Standards for Accessible Design.” This informative annex is not a part of the NEC requirements and is included for informational purposes only. The provisions cited in this informative annex are intended to assist the Code users in properly considering various electrical design constraints of other building systems, are part of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and are the same as those found in ANSI/ICC A117.1, Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. Chapter 1 of the NEC includes definitions in Article 100 and general requirements for electrical installations in Article 110. Below are a few significant changes from each of these articles. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 2 of 21 Page 160 of 223 Article 100 Definitions Article 100 Coordination (Selective): “Localization of an overcurrent condition to restrict outages to the circuit or equipment affected, accomplished by the selection and installation of overcurrent protective devices and their ratings or settings for the full range of available overcurrents, from overload to the maximum available fault current, and for the full range of overcurrent protective device opening times associated with those overcurrents.” This definition has been revised to clarify what constitutes selective coordination. The word “choice” has been replaced by the words “selection and installation” to clarify it is selection and installation of overcurrent protection that achieves selective coordination. As revised, this definition makes it clear that selective coordination is across the “full range” of available overcurrents. Article 100 Premises Wiring (System): A new informational note has been added to the definition of Premises Wiring (System) as follows: “Informational Note: Power sources include, but are not limited to, interconnected or stand-alone batteries, solar photovoltaic systems, other distributed generation systems, or generators.” No changes have been made to the definition itself, and it continues to address permanently and temporarily installed wiring. The new informational note provides some examples of what constitutes premises wiring systems (sources) and is noninclusive. Article 100 Retrofit Kit: “A general term for a complete subassembly of parts and devices for field conversion of utilization equipment.” A new definition of “Retrofit Kit” has been added to Part I of Article 100. There are new requirements added to Articles 410 and 600 that include the term “Retrofit Kit.” The definition clarifies what constitutes a retrofit kit for use in electrical signs and luminaires. Article 100 Separately Derived System: “An electrical source, other than a service, having no direct connection(s) to circuit conductors of any other electrical source other than those established by grounding and bonding connections.” The definition has been revised by combining two sentences into one. Separately derived systems are electrical sources other than the electrical service. The revision clarifies that there is no direct connection to circuit conductors of any other electrical source other than those established by grounding and bonding connections. Article 110 Requirements for Electrical Installations X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 3 of 21 Page 161 of 223 110.16 Arc-Flash Hazard Warning: The words “or factory” and “switchgear” have been added to this requirement. The revision clarifies that the marking applies also to switchgear, and it can be either field-applied or applied at the factory. The words “meet the requirements in 110.21(B) and” have been added in the second sentence. Informational Note No. 1 has been revised to include the words “arc flash labeling.” 110.21(B) Field-Applied Hazard Markings: A subdivision (B) titled “Field-Applied Hazard Markings” is added to Section 110.21. Specific requirements now apply to field-applied hazard markings or labels using signal words “danger,” “warning” or “caution” as provided within many NEC rules. New informational notes reference ANSI Z535.4-2011 for guidelines on consistent and effective markings and labels. 110.24 Available Fault Current: A new informational note has been added following 110.24(A). The note clarifies that marking requirements in 110.24 relate to fault current ratings and compliance with 110.9 and 110.10. The maximum available fault current value required by 110.24 is not intended to be used for performing incident energy analysis. 110.26(C)(3) Personnel Doors: The value “1,200A” has been lowered to “800A,” expanding requirements for panic hardware on egress doors. The words “panic bars, pressure plates, or other devices that are normally latched but open under simple pressure” have been replaced with “listed panic hardware.” Listed panic hardware is required on personnel doors addressed by this section. The same change occurred in 110.33 for equipment over 600V. 110.25 Lockable Disconnecting Means: A new section 110.25 titled “Disconnecting Means, Lockable” and an associated exception have been added to Part I of Article 110. The new section consolidates the provisions for lockable disconnecting means through the NEC into one location. Previous NEC requirements that dealt with lockable disconnecting means will now reference 110.25 for consistency and uniform application of the requirements. 110.26(E)(2)(b) Dedicated Equipment Space: This section has been rearranged and renumbered into a list format to meet NEC Style Manual requirements. A new list item (b) has been added and is titled “Dedicated Equipment Space.” The requirements for dedicated space now apply to equipment installed outside and are similar to the dedicated space requirements for equipment located indoors. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 4 of 21 Page 162 of 223 Chapter 2 Wiring and Protection Section 210.8(A)(9) and (10) Bathtubs, Shower Stalls, Laundry Areas Two new list items have been added to Section 210.8(A). The requirements for ground- fault circuit interrupter protection (GFCI) have been expanded for dwelling units. GFCI protection is now required for receptacles installed within 6 feet of a bathtub or shower stall. Note that this requirement applies to bathtubs or shower stalls, regardless of whether they are in a bathroom or not. In addition, all 125-volt (V), single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere (A) receptacles installed in laundry areas must be GFCI-protected. Section 210.8(D) Kitchen Dishwasher Branch Circuit Requirements for GFCI protection in dwelling unit kitchens have been expanded. A new subdivision (D), “Kitchen Dishwasher Branch Circuit,” has been added to 210.8. Outlets supplying dishwashers are required to be GFCI-protected, which requires a GFCI- protective device installed at the origin of the branch circuit. The reason is related to different end-of-life failure modes and behavior of newer generation dishwashers as compared to the electromechanical units in the past. Section 210.12 Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection This section has been revised to require arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) to be installed in readily accessible locations. Subdivision (A) now recognizes AFCI protection requirements, which have been expanded to kitchens and laundry areas. This expansion of AFCI requirements continues the long-range objective of whole-house AFCI protection in dwelling units that was sought in the original proposals by Consumer Product Safety Commission in the mid-1990s. Section 210.12(A) Dwelling Units List items (1) through (6) provide the acceptable methods of accomplishing the branch circuit arc-fault protection requirements and associated conditions. This change resulted from a specific fact-finding study and report from Underwriters Laboratories. These new alternatives include use of both circuit-breaker and outlet-device types of AFCI protection in accordance with the specific conditions in each list item. In list items (3) and (4), note that outlet-device AFCI protection is permitted under restrictive conditions that include maximum length of home runs of 50 feet for 14 AWG (15A circuits) and 70 feet for 12 AWG (20A branch circuits. Section 210.12(C) Dormitory Units A new subdivision (C), “Dormitory Units,” has been added to 210.12. The AFCI protection requirements are expanded to 125V, single-phase, 15- and 20A outlets X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 5 of 21 Page 163 of 223 installed in dormitory unit bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, closets and similar rooms. This new subdivision continues the incremental expansion of AFCI protection for dwelling units, which most dormitories are considered. Section 210.13 Ground-Fault Protection of Equipment (GFPE) A new Section 210.13, “Ground-Fault Protection of Equipment,” has been added to Article 210. The same ground-fault protection for equipment requirements in 230.95 for services and 215.10 for feeders now apply to qualifying branch circuits. Section 210.17 Electric Vehicle Branch Circuit A new Section 210.17, “Electric Vehicle Branch Circuit,” has been added to Article 210. This new provision requires any outlet installed for electric vehicle charging loads be provided with a separate (individual) branch circuit. The revision aligns with the load profile requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and correlates with continuous duty load restrictions included in 210.19(A)(1) and 210.23. Section 220.12 Lighting Loads A new exception has been added to 220.12. Lighting loads are now permitted to be calculated at values specified in an applicable energy code where it is adopted by the jurisdiction. Three conditions of the new exception include monitoring, alarms and not applying demand factors to the general lighting load as provided in 220.42. 240.87 Arc-Energy Reduction This section is now titled “Arc Energy Reduction” and arranged in a list format. As revised, it now applies to breakers with a highest adjustable trip rating of 1,200A or greater. Subdivision (B) includes new list items (4) and (5), which recognize other methods of arc energy reduction by a specific method, system, equipment or other approved means. Section 250.102(C)(1) and Table 250.102(C)(1) Table 250.102(C)(1), notes, and informational notes have been added to Part V of Article 250. The new table provides sizes for grounded conductors, main bonding jumpers, supply-side bonding jumpers, and system bonding jumpers and requires using the 12.5 percent rule if exceeding the table values. References in Article 250 have been changed from 250.66 to 250.102(C)(1) and Table 250.102(C)(1). Table 250.66 is now used for sizing only grounding electrode conductors and bonding jumpers in the grounding electrode system. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 6 of 21 Page 164 of 223 Section 250.186 Ground-Fault Circuit Conductor Brought to Service Equipment This new section requires a fault current path installed from the source to the service equipment. This means, for grounded systems, a grounded conductor must be installed and routed with the ungrounded conductors to each service disconnecting means. For ungrounded systems, a supply-side bonding jumper must be installed and routed with the ungrounded conductors to each service disconnecting means. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 7 of 21 Page 165 of 223 Chapter 3 Wiring Methods and Materials Section 310.15(B)(3)(c) and Table 310.15(B)(3)(c) The word “circular” has been removed from this section and the title of the table. The words “or cables” have been added to this section and in the title of the table. Ambient temperature correction factors in Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) or Table 310.15(B)(2)(b) apply to conductors in raceways and cables on or above rooftops and exposed to direct sunlight. Section 310.15(B)(3)(c) Exception A new exception has been added following 310.15(B)(3)(c). Ambient temperature correction factors in Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) or Table 310.15(B)(2)(b) do not apply to XHHW-2 insulated conductors in raceways and cables on or above rooftops and exposed to direct sunlight. The new exception is the result of performance testing by both General Cable and Underwriters Laboratories. Section 310.15(B)(7) and Table 310.15(B)(7) Table 310.15(B)(7) has been deleted, and Section 310.15(B)(7) has been revised and restructured into a list format. An 83 percent multiplier is provided for calculating ampacity for feeders and service conductors supplying dwelling units if the conditions of this section are met. A new informational note references a new Annex (D7) where an example calculation is provided. There are no changes in the reduced ampacity provisions previously included in 310.15(B)(7); it’s just a different way of determining the reduced service and feeder conductor sizes. The same restrictions to dwelling units are still provided in this section as these allowances relate to the load diversity in dwelling units. Section 314.25 Covers and Canopies A new last sentence has been added to 314.25. Screws for covers or attaching equipment to boxes shall be compatible and have matching machine threads or be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Drywall screws and other inappropriate screws are not permitted for use with boxes unless otherwise listed or identified for use with those types. Section 314.28(A)(3) Smaller Dimensions A new paragraph has been added to list item (3) addressing conduit body sizes in relation to conductor fill. The new text allows use of conduit bodies smaller than those required in 314.28(A)(2) with conditions. The revision provides a practical allowance for conductor combinations in conduit bodies where marked to indicate suitability for such use. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 8 of 21 Page 166 of 223 Section 330.10(A)(11) b and c Uses Permitted List item has been revised to clarify that a corrosion-resistant jacket is required over the metallic covering. The revision aligns this section with UL Standard 1569 Metal Clad Cables. MC cable in wet locations must have a corrosion-resistant jacket as the outer layer of the cable assembly and meet one of a, b or c. Section 330.30(B) Securing A new last sentence has been added to 330.30(B). Vertical installations of listed MC cables in sizes 250 kcmil and larger are permitted to be secured at intervals not exceeding 10 feet. Some MC cables are listed and identified for vertical installation where supported at intervals not exceeding 10 feet. Section 330.30(D)(3) MC Cable—Securing and Supporting A new list item (3) has been added to 330.30(D). Unsupported interlocking armor-type MC cable is permitted in lengths not exceeding 3 feet from the last point where it is securely fastened. This practical relief applies where flexibility is necessary to minimize the transmission of vibration from equipment or to provide flexibility after installation. Section 338.10(B)(4)(b) Exterior Installations A new exception has been added following 338.10(B)(4)(b). Underground service- entrance cable is defined in 338.2 and can be a single conductor, or it can be an assembly of multiple conductors. Type USE cable installed as feeders or branch circuits is not subject to the ampacity limitations provided in 340.80. Section 348.30(A) Exception No. 4 and 350.30(A) Exception No. 4 Securing and Supporting FMC and LFMC A new last sentence has been added to Exception No. 4 to 348.30(A) and 350.30(A). Listed flexible metal conduit fittings and listed liquidtight flexible metal conduit fittings shall be permitted as a means of support for lengths up to 6 feet. This revision clarifies that, for the purpose of this exception, additional support for flexible metal conduit is not required. Section 376.22(B) Adjustment Factors This section has been revised by adding the words “at any cross-section of the wireway.” The revised text clarifies that correction factors are not based on the total number of current-carrying conductors in the wireway exceeding 30. The correction factors apply where the total of current-carrying conductors at any cross-section exceeds 30. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 9 of 21 Page 167 of 223 Section 376.56(B)(1) Power Distribution Blocks List item (1) was revised by adding a second sentence. Power distribution blocks are permitted to be installed on the line side of the service disconnect or the load side. Power distribution blocks installed on the line side of the service equipment shall be listed. Article 393 Low-Voltage Suspended Ceiling Power Distribution Systems A new Article 393 has been added to NEC Chapter 3 and equips the Code with requirements for new technology DC wiring systems and equipment in the form of suspended ceiling grids. This type of equipment and associated fittings must be listed, driving the requirement for installation instructions. Not all of the changes to the NEC are covered in this article. The next part in this series will look at some revisions in chapters 4 through 9. For complete details about these and other NEC revisions, refer to the NFPA 2014 NEC Report on Proposals and Report on Comments.

X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 10 of 21 Page 168 of 223 Chapter 4 Equipment for General Use 404.2(C) Grounded Conductor at Switch Locations This section has been restructured into a list format, and the former exception has been incorporated into positive text. New list item (3) relaxes the grounded conductor requirement at switches with integral enclosures. New list item (5) relaxes the grounded conductor requirement in locations where multiple switches control the same lighting load. 406.3(E) Marking for Controlled Receptacles A new subdivision (E), Controlled Receptacle Marking, Exception, and associated figure been added to 406.3. This requirement applies to receptacles controlled by building automation or energy management systems. A specific power symbol marking must be applied to nonlocking type, 125-volt (V), 15- and 20-ampere (A) automatically controlled receptacle outlets and be visible after installation. 406.5(E) and (F) Receptacles in the Face-Up Position Subdivision (E) has been revised and expanded to all occupancies, and 210.8 ground- fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection applies. New Subdivision (F), Receptacles in Seating Areas or Similar Surfaces, states that receptacles installed in seating areas or similar surfaces are not permitted in the face-up position unless the installation meets one of list items (1) through (4). [ROP 18-32, 18-33, 18-34; 406.9(B)(1) Receptacles in Wet Locations The words “other than one- and two-family dwellings” have been removed from this section. The text related to how the receptacle outlet is supported has also been removed from this section. Listed and identified extra-duty receptacle covers (hoods) are required for all 15- and 20A, 125- and 250V receptacles installed in a wet location. 408. 3(F)(3), (4), (5) Panelboards, Switchboards, and Switchgear Identification Three list items have been added to 408.3(F) and the word “switchgear” has been added. Additional caution markings are now required for switchboards, switchgear and panelboards used with high-impedance grounded neutral systems, ungrounded direct current systems and resistance grounded direct current systems. The “caution” markings in list items (1) through (5) must comply with 110.21(B).

GFCI protective devices installed for appliances covered by Article 422 must be readily accessible, which is consistent with the readily accessible requirements for GFCI devices in 210.8. 422.23 Tire Inflation and Automotive Vacuum Machines Tire Inflation and Automotive Vacuum Machines, 422.23, has been added to Article 422. Tire inflation equipment or vacuum machine for public use must have GFCI protection for personnel. The GFCI protection (circuit breaker or outlet device) is required to be readily accessible. 424.66 Installation Subdivision (B), Limited Access, has been added to 424.66. The width and depth of working space in 110.26 is required in front of duct heater enclosures containing equipment that requires servicing while energized. The revision requires duct heater equipment enclosures to be located so as to provide the minimum clearances. 445.20 Protection for Portable Generators A new 445.20, Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection for Receptacles on 15 kW or Smaller, Portable Generators, has been added to Article 445. If a 15-kilowatt (kW) or smaller portable generator has a 125/250V locking receptacle, then all 125V, single- phase, 15- and 20A receptacles must have GFCI protection or not be usable when the 125/250V locking receptacle is in use. 450.10(A) Dry-Type Transformer Enclosures A new subdivision (A) and exception have been added to 450.10. This new provision provides specific requirements for grounding and bonding connections in transformer enclosures. A separate grounding terminal bar must now be installed but not on vented portions of the enclosure. 480.9(D) and (E) Marking for Personnel Access to Energized Batteries and Egress Two subdivisions have been added to 480.9: (D) Marking for Personnel Access to Energized Batteries and (E) Egress. Marking for battery rooms must meet the warning sign requirements in 110.27(C). Personnel doors for battery rooms must swing in the direction of egress and be equipped with listed panic hardware. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 12 of 21 Page 170 of 223 490.25 Backfeed A new 490.25, Backfeed, has been added to Part II of Article 490. The new requirement is for a sign that warns qualified people of the possibilities of contacts within the equipment being energized by backfeed. A reference to 110.21(B) has been provided for additional requirements related to danger signs installed on equipment. The specific text on the sign must read as follows: DANGER—CONTACTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS DEVICE MAY BE ENERGIZED BY BACKFEED X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 13 of 21 Page 171 of 223 Chapter 5 Special Occupancies 501.15(C)(6) Fiber Optic Tubes Within a Seal Optical fiber tubes (metallic or nonmetallic) are now recognized for installation in a seal, and they shall not exceed 25 percent of the cross-sectional area of a rigid metal conduit unless specifically marked otherwise. The cross-sectional area of the optical fiber tube(s) must be used, not that of the optical fibers themselves. Expanded cross-sectional area seals are readily available for use in fill applications up to and not exceeding 40 percent. These expanded sealing fittings are listed and identified. 514.3(B)(1) Motor Fuel Dispensing and Aboveground Fuel Storage Superscript note 2 to Table 514.3(B)(1) has been revised to refer to two figures. Existing Figure 514.3(a) has been revised to show a new below-grade sump classified area as Class I, Division 1. A new Figure 514.3(b) was added to show the classified area adjacent to a dispenser mounted on aboveground storage tanks. Both of the figures and associated text are extracted material from NFPA 30A 2012. 514.3(C) Motor Fuel Dispensing Stations in Boatyards and Marinas All boat and marina motor fuel dispensing station requirements were relocated from Article 555, Marinas and Boatyards, to Article 514, Motor Fuel Dispensing Stations. New Section 514.3(C) is titled “Motor Fuel Dispensing Stations in Boatyards and Marinas.” All NEC requirements for boatyard and marina motor fuel dispensing facilities are under the purview of NEC Code-Making Panel 14. Section 555.21 now provides only a reference to Article 514 for the specific requirements for these fueling facilities in marinas and boatyards. 517.18(B) Number of Receptacles in Normal Patient Bed Locations The minimum number of receptacles required in a general care patient bed location has increased to eight. These receptacles must be listed and identified as “hospital grade” and connected to an insulated copper equipment grounding conductor. This revision aligns with the new requirements in Section 6.3.2.2.6.2 (A) of NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code. 517.19(B) Number of Receptacles in Critical Care Patient Bed Locations The minimum number of receptacles required in a critical care patient bed location has increased from six to 14. These receptacles must be listed and identified as “hospital grade” and connected to an insulated copper equipment grounding conductor. This revision aligns with the new requirements in Section 6.3.2.2.6.2 (B) of NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code. At least one of the 14 receptacles shall be connected to either the X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 14 of 21 Page 172 of 223 normal system branch circuit required in 517.19(A) or to a critical branch circuit supplied by a different transfer switch than the other receptacles at the same patient bed location. 517.19(C) Operating Room Receptacles New subdivision (C), Operating Room Receptacles, was added to 517.19, and the balance of the section was renumbered accordingly. The minimum number of receptacles required is increased from six to 36. The revision provides direction on which system branch the receptacles must be connected and that they be “hospital grade” type. NFPA 99 2012 Health Care Facilities Code has been revised by increasing the number of receptacles in patient care locations of healthcare facilities, including operating rooms. This revision aligns the NEC with Section 6.3.2.2.6.2 of NFPA 99. 590.4(J) Cable and Cord Supports Cable assemblies and flexible cords and cables installed as branch circuits or feeders must not be installed on the floor or on the ground. Extension cords connected to receptacles and laid on the floor are considered suitable for this use because they “extend” the GFCI protection of the outlet. Construction locations are almost always wet locations. This revision aligns the NEC requirements with existing OSHA requirements and addresses a serious safety issue with feeders and branch circuits installed on the floor or laying on the ground on construction sites. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 15 of 21 Page 173 of 223 Chapter 6 Special Equipment 600.6(A)(1) Disconnect Required for Signs Section 600.6(A)(1) is a significant worker safety issue requiring a sign disconnect to be located at the point where the circuit conductors enter the sign enclosure or pole. The revision provides the specific detail to restrict conductors on the line side of the disconnect switch from being routed into the enclosure to connect to a switch that is installed on the sign enclosure. If the disconnect is in the open or off position, live conductors are still present within the sign enclosure. This revision provides the needed clarification and prohibition. This safety-driven change simplifies worker compliance with both NFPA 70E and OSHA rules. 625.41 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Circuit Ratings Former 625.14 has been revised and relocated to 625.41 as a result of Article 625 being reorganized. A new last sentence that includes provisions for an automatic load management system has been added to 625.41. The maximum electric vehicle supply equipment load on a service and feeder shall be the maximum load permitted by the automatic load management system. This revision provides relief from service upgrades in some cases, but an automatic load management system has to limit the load on the service to its capacity. Article 646 Modular Data Centers Article 646, Modular Data Centers, is new to NEC Chapter 6. This article includes four parts addressing general requirements, equipment, lighting and workspace. Modular data centers are prefabricated units of information technology equipment and support equipment. Modular data centers are intended for fixed installation either indoors or outdoors. This new article closely follows the arrangement and information contained in Article 645, Information Technology Equipment; and NFPA 75, Standard for the Protection of Information Technology Equipment. Some configurations use support equipment housed in a separate enclosure. 680.22(A)(2) Locking Receptacles and Attachment Plugs Not Required List item (2), requiring a locking configuration, has been deleted. Removing this locking configuration from 680.22(A)(1) matches existing requirements of “Other Receptacles, Location” not less than 6 feet from a pool in 680.22(A)(2). Single receptacles of the grounding type and provided with GFCI protection for personnel are now considered sufficient safety measures for these locations. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 16 of 21 Page 174 of 223 680.42(B) Bonding for Outdoor Spas and Hot Tubs This revision originated as Tentative Interim Amendment 1005 for the 2011 NEC. Based on four specific criteria, spas and hot tubs listed for outdoor use may be exempt from the perimeter surfaces equipotential bonding requirements of 680.26(B)(2). The class of spas referred to in this section is a self-contained outdoor/indoor-rated UL1563 listed product. 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings Photovoltaic (PV) system circuits installed on or in buildings must now be provided with a rapid shutdown function that controls specific conductors in accordance with 690.12(A) through (D). Controlled conductors shall be limited to no more than 30V and 240 volt-amperes (VA) within 10 seconds of a rapid shutdown initiation. Where the need for an electrical safety product or system is demonstrated, prescriptive operational and safety requirements are incorporated in the NEC to stimulate the industry into meeting that need. Limiting firefighter exposure to electrical shock is an important safety requirement for first responders. Limited time to achieve a lower voltage level after shutdown is a system operational requirement. This new rapid shutdown requirement applies to PV systems or circuits installed on or in buildings. 690.31(G)(1) Marking for PV Circuits Embedded in Building Surfaces Marking requirements of embedded PV circuits hidden within roofing material and other building surfaces have been strengthened. Hidden PV circuits must now be clearly marked using an approved method suitable for the weather and continuous exposure to sunlight. This requirement is necessary to protect personnel from hazards that could arise from accidental contact with PV conductors embedded in roofs. 694.1 Wind Electric Systems The provisions of Article 694 apply to wind (turbine) electric systems that consist of one or more wind electric generators and covered by the NEC as determined in 90.2. The former size limitation of 100 kilowatts has been removed from the scope of this article. These systems can include generators, alternators, inverters and controllers. Wind electric systems can be interactive with other electrical power production sources or might be stand-alone systems. Wind electric systems can have alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) output, with or without electrical energy storage, such as batteries. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 17 of 21 Page 175 of 223 695.4(B)(2)(2) Overcurrent Protection Selection Past calculations sizing the disconnecting means and the overcurrent protective device included the sum of locked-rotor currents of all fire pump and jockey pump motors, plus the full-load current of the remaining loads. As revised, the calculations now include locked-rotor currents of only largest fire pump motor, plus the sum of other motor and remaining loads. The overcurrent protection must be by an assembly listed for fire pump service. Also, the overcurrent protective device shall not open within 2 minutes at 600 percent of the full-load current of the fire pump motor(s), it shall not open with a restart transient of 24 times the full-load current of the fire pump motor(s), it shall not open within 10 minutes at 300 percent of the full-load current of the fire pump motor(s), and the trip point for circuit breakers shall not be field-adjustable. This change aligns with the requirements in Section 9.2.3.4.1 of NFPA 20, Standard for Stationary Fire Pumps. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 18 of 21 Page 176 of 223 Chapter 7 Special Conditions 700.12(F)(2) Exception The existing exception to 700.12(F)(2)(2) permitting unit equipment supplied by three or more normal circuits, no longer permits multiwire branch circuits to serve the uninterrupted area. Section 210.4(B) contains a general requirement to simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors of multiwire branch circuits either with identified handle ties or by use of a common trip breaker. Using normal multiwire branch circuits increases the risk of an area being without emergency lighting if on of the circuits were to trip causing the others to be disconnected due to the handle tie arrangement. Forbidding multiwire normal branch circuits in these specific instances provides additional safety during loss of normal lighting. 700.19 Multiwire Branch Circuits Prohibited A new 700.19 has been added addressing multiwire branch circuits used in emergency systems. This new provision prohibits multiwire branch circuits protected by common trip circuit breakers to serve emergency lighting and power circuits. Emergency lighting and power could be unavailable during ordinary line to ground faults and other problems where common trip circuit breakers or handle ties are employed. Continued reliability of emergency circuits requires this change. 700.28 Selective Coordination The definition of the term selective coordination in Article 100 has been revised to clarify that the coordination is across the full range of available overcurrents. This change in 700.28 requires a professional engineer or other qualified person to choose the overcurrent protective device types, ampere ratings, and settings to achieve selective coordination. This responsible party must provide documentation to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) that the selection of the overcurrent protective devices achieves the required selective coordination. This process will ensure selective coordination for a project without an addition burden on the AHJ. Documentation is required to be made available to others involved in the original construction process, or post installation, to ensure the system is installed, maintained and modified with the knowledge of how the original system was selectively coordinated. The same revision has been incorporated into sections 620.62, 701.27 and 708.54 dealing with requirements for selective coordination of overcurrent devices. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 19 of 21 Page 177 of 223 Article 728 Fire-Resistive Cable Systems A new Article 728 titled “Fire-Restive Cable Systems” provides the necessary information required for the proper installation of fire-rated cables. Precise installation requirements for fire-resistive cables are critical component of egress and safety during a fire. Many building and specific areas require the continued use of electrical energy during fire and other emergency conditions. This article contains specific requirements related to survivability of these fire resistive cable systems. As with many required products required in the NEC, fire resistive cables require proper installation to achieve their original purpose of providing electricity in a building during fire. As more fire resistive cables are installed, this article will play a prominent in these installations. 760.24 Circuit Integrity (CI) Cable A new 760.24(B) covers installation instructions for supporting circuit integrity (CI) fire alarm cable. Generally, CI cables must be supported at a distance not exceeding 24 inches by using only steel supports and fasteners. Circuit integrity cables installed within 7 feet of the floor must be fastened at intervals of not more than 18 inches. Article 750 Energy Management Systems A new Article 750 titled "Energy Management Systems" defines and controls building systems while protecting the safety concerns of the NEC or building codes. With the application of the smart grid initiatives, premises energy management systems must be compatible with NEC and other personnel and building safety concerns. Article 750 provides a safe and systematic approach for load shedding and disconnection of power. Performance requirements in other energy codes should refer to the NEC for prescriptive electrical installation requirements. The most important aspect here is to ensure an overall energy management system does not override a system specific to addressing load shedding for an alternate power source for fire pumps and emergency systems. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 20 of 21 Page 178 of 223 Chapter 8 Communications Systems 800.24 Mechanical Execution of Work Nonmetallic cable ties or other nonmetallic accessories installed in other spaces used for environmental air are now required to be listed as having low smoke and heat release properties. This revision aligns the NEC with similar provisions contained in NFPA 90A. The same revisions have been incorporated into 770.24, 820.24 and 830.24. 800.179(G) Circuit Integrity (CI) Cable or Electrical Circuit Protective System Requirements for CI cable or electrical circuit protective systems listing requirements have been added to 800.179(G). Listing information includes specific installation requirements in accordance with the listing to maintain minimum fire ratings. The new provisions clarify what constitutes a circuit protective systems and how circuit integrity cables must be part of a system installed to meet established fire resistive rating criteria. The same revisions have also been incorporated into Articles 725, 760 and 770. X:\Plandev\Witt\2018 Code Upgrade\Code Adoption\NEC\Amendments\2014 NEC Major Changes.docx Page 21 of 21 Page 179 of 223 Attachment NEC-2 Major Changes from the 2014 to 2017 NFPA 70, National Electric Code Note: The following discussion on the changes from the 2014 to the 2017 edition of the NFPA 70, National Electric Code, were written by Michael Johnson, Executive Director of standards and safety for the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), in an article titled 2014 NEC Outlook, published on the Electrical Contractor magazine website www.ecmag.com. This list is not all-encompassing. We have highlighted in yellow the section titles for which the new requirements are believed to have the most affect on electrical work performed within the Village of Glen Ellyn. Section 90.2(A) Covered The words “and removal” have been added in the first sentence of 90.2(A). This addition expands the NEC’s scope beyond installation requirements to include requirements addressing equipment removal. Current NEC rules require removal of equipment such as those for temporary power wiring removal and those for abandoned communications cables removal. Section 90.3 Arrangement and Figure 90.3 Section 90.3 and associated Figure 90.3 have been revised. The revision clarifies that chapters 5–7 may modify or supplement requirements in chapters 1 through 7. The rules in chapters 5–7 can supplement or modify each other in addition to the provisions in chapters 1–4. For example, Article 770 contains requirements for optical fiber cables, and Section 770.3(A) indicates listed optical fiber cables shall be permitted in hazardous (classified) locations, and the cables shall be sealed in accordance with the requirements of 501.15, 502.15, 505.16 or 506.16, as applicable. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 1 of 23 Page 180 of 223 Article 100—Definitions Multiple definitions of words and terms pertaining to hazardous (classified) locations previously located in 500.2 have been relocated to Article 100. The words “as applied to Hazardous (Classified) Locations” have been added in brackets following each relocated term. Article 100—Readily Accessible The definition of “readily accessible” has been revised. The definition maintains most of its existing text and now includes “other than keys.” A new informational note addresses the common practice and use of keys in gaining accessibility under controlled conditions. Article 100—Field Evaluation Body and Field Labeled New definitions of “field evaluation body” and “field labeled” have been incorporated into Article 100. These definitions have been developed from concepts derived from terms in NFPA 790, Standard for Competency of Third-Party Field Evaluation Bodies. Article 100—Structure The definition of “structure” has been revised by adding “other than equipment.” The revision provides a clear differentiation between what constitutes electrical equipment as compared to structures. Article 100—Substation X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 2 of 23 Page 181 of 223 Article 110—Requirements for Electrical Installations 110.3(A) Examination A new informational note No. 1 has been added to 110.3(A)(1). Previous Informational Note No. 1 has been renumbered as Informational Note No. 2. The new note clarifies that the term “equipment” used in this section can apply to new, reconditioned, refurbished or remanufactured equipment. 110.3(C) Listing The title of 110.3 has been revised to include the words “(product certification).” A new Subdivision (C) and associated informational note have been added to Section 110.3. The revision clarifies that listing (product certification) must be performed by recognized, qualified electrical testing laboratories, and the new informational note indicates that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides a list of such qualified laboratories. 110.14(D) Installation A new subdivision (D), “Installation,” has been added following 110.14(C). This subdivision incorporates mandatory torque tightening requirements for electrical terminations in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. It also allows for alternative methods as provided in the instructions. The informational note to 110.14 has been deleted because it is no longer necessary. 110.16(B) Service Equipment A new (B), “Service Equipment,” and informational note have been added to 110.16. The provisions in 110.16 now require more installation-related detail and information for determining arc-flash energy levels and required PPE. The nominal system voltage, available fault current, the service overcurrent protective device clearing time, and the label date must now be included in the arc-flash warning label. The informational note references NFPA 70E for specific criteria related to arc-flash labels and determining appropriate PPE. 110.21(A) Equipment Markings The title of subdivision (A) has been changed to “Equipment Markings” from “Manufacturer’s Markings.” Section 110.21(A) has been renumbered as list items (1) and a new list item (2) with a new exception and informational note. New list item (2) provides marking requirements for reconditioned equipment including the responsible organization and date of reconditioning. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 3 of 23 Page 182 of 223 110.24(A) Field Marking A new last sentence has been added to 110.24(A) addressing calculations. The additional requirements are intended to document the calculation and make it available to those authorized to design, install, inspect, maintain or operate the system. The maximum level of available fault current can be obtained from published utility data or by use of calculation methods. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 4 of 23 Page 183 of 223 Article 210—Branch Circuits 210.8(B) GFCI Protection in Other than Dwelling Units Section 210.8(B) now applies to all single-phase receptacles rated 150 volts (V) to ground or less and 50 amperes (A) or less as well as three-phase receptacles rated 150V to ground or less and 100A or less. The list of locations is expanded to include receptacle outlets in crawl spaces and receptacles in unfinished basements in 210.8(B)(10). 210.12(B) Branch Circuit Extensions or Modifications—Dwelling Units and Dormitory Units The existing requirements for arc-fault circuit-interrupter (AFCI) protection of branch- circuit extensions or modifications in dwelling units have been expanded to include dormitories. The same hazards exist in dormitories. AFCI protection in dormitories is expanded to include all outlets and devices in dormitory bathrooms. 210.12(C) Guest Rooms and Guest Suites New subdivision (C), Guest Rooms and Guest Suites, has been added to Section 210.12. All 120V, single-phase, 15A and 20A branch circuits supplying outlets and devices installed in guest rooms and suites of hotels and motels must be protected by any of the AFCI methods listed in 210.12(A)(1) through (6). This new AFCI requirement applies to all guest rooms and suites without regard to cooking provisions. 210.52(B)(1) Receptacle Outlets Served Exception No. 2 to 210.52(B)(1) previously permitted only refrigeration equipment to be supplied by an individual branch circuit 15A or greater. This revision eliminates the potential conflict with 210.22, which provides general permission for individual branch circuits. This expands this permissive exception to other appliances, such as dishwashers, garbage disposals and microwaves, that may be supplied from a receptacle outlet. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 5 of 23 Page 184 of 223 210.71 Meeting Rooms A new Section 210.71, Meeting Rooms, has been added to Article 210. This rule provides minimum requirements for installing receptacles in meeting rooms. All meeting rooms of not more than 1,000 square feet in other than dwelling units are now required to have receptacle outlets installed. Where movable partitions exist, room size is determined with partitions resulting in the smallest size meeting room(s). A minimum number of receptacle outlets is required and location are permitted to be determined by the owner or designer. As an aside, the National Electrical Contractors Association still believes this is a design issue, and the new requirement will result in inconsistent application in the field. However, it is a good start to address an identified need for required receptacles to minimize misuse of cords and power strips. Article 240—Overcurrent Protection 240.67 Arc Energy Reduction Section 240.67, Arc Energy Reduction, has been added to Article 240. A means of “arc energy reduction” applies to all fuses rated 1,200A or higher. This requirement has a delayed implementation of Jan. 1, 2020, to permit the industry to develop feasible solutions. The methods to reduce arc energy in 240.67 are similar to those in 240.87 with an additional provision permitting a fuse that would open the circuit in 0.07 seconds or less at or below the available arcing current. Article 250—Grounding and Bonding 250.30(A)(4) Electrode Section 250.30(A)(4) has been revised and simplified, and Exception No. 1 was deleted. There is no longer a hierarchy of electrodes that must be used for grounding separately derived systems. The revision clarifies that the building grounding electrode system must be used when establishing a grounding electrode for a separately derived system. If installed outdoors, the grounding electrode for the separately derived system must comply with 250.30(C). 250.104(A) Metal Water Piping Section 250.104(A) has been revised by adding “if or sufficient size” to (A)(3) and (A)(4). The wording “that is interconnected to form a building frame” has been added to subdivisions (C) and (D). The minimum bonding conductor or jumper sizes must be in accordance with Table 250.102(C)(1) rather than 250.66. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 6 of 23 Page 185 of 223 250.122(F)(2) Multi-conductor Cables Section 250.122(F)(2) has been revised and arranged in a list format. The revisions address minimum sizes for equipment grounding conductors (EGCs) in multiconductor cables in parallel arrangements. A single EGC in each cable can be connected in parallel at each end and connected to a full-size EGC sized based on the overcurrent protection device for the entire circuit. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 7 of 23 Page 186 of 223 Article 300—General Requirements for Wiring Methods and Materials 300.5(D) Protection From Damage Electrical metallic tubing (EMT) has been added to the list of raceways permitted to provide physical protection for direct-buried conductors and cables emerging from grade EMT, and associated elbows, couplings and fittings are permitted to be installed in concrete, in direct contact with the earth, approved as suitable for the condition. Section 358.10(B) requires that, where EMT is used in this manner, it must be where protected by corrosion protection and approved as suitable for the condition. 300.5(G) Raceway Seals The general requirements of first-level subdivision 300.5(G) are now correlated with sections 225.27 and 230.8. Where necessary, spare or unused raceways shall also be sealed. The type of sealants applied must be identified for use with the cable insulation, conductor insulation, bare conductor, shield or other components. 300.22(B) Ducts Specifically Fabricated for Environmental Air [SB]A new exception in 300.22(B) correlates requirements for wiring in ducts specifically fabricated for environmental air between the NEC and NFPA 90A. NFPA 90A permits cables that are “directly associated with the air distribution system” and not to “exceed four feet.” This revision correlates existing requirements within the NEC. For example, in Chapter 8, first-level subdivision 800.113(B) contains the same permission. Table 310.15(B)(3)(c) Table 310.15(B)(3)(c), containing rooftop temperature correction factors, has been deleted. Raceways or cables must be installed a minimum distance of ⅞-inch above the roof. Where installed less than ⅞-inch above the roof to the bottom of the raceway or cable, use a temperature adder of 60°F. 314.27(E) Separable Attachment Fittings New subdivision (E) permits a new product referred to as a “separable attachment fitting.” This product is a listed locking support and mounting receptacle used in combination with compatible attachment fittings designed for the support of luminaires, paddle fans and so forth. These devices are designed to facilitate quick and easy interchange of luminaires or other equipment. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 8 of 23 Page 187 of 223 328.14 Installation Section 328.14 requires type MV cable to be installed, terminated and tested by qualified people. NECA 600 2014, Standard for Installing and Maintaining Medium- Voltage Cable, has been added to the Informational Note. It provides valuable information on installation requirements, guidelines for qualified installers, cable splicing and more. 336.10 Uses Permitted New list item (9) in 336.10 permits type TC-ER cable containing both power and control conductors to be used in one- and two-family dwelling units. In these installations, type TC-ER cable must be additionally marked “JP” to identify it as suitable for pulling through structural members. An exception permits the use of TC-ER cable for generators and associated equipment without the need to apply ampacity correction factors in accordance with 334.80 or 340.80. 338.10(B) Branch Circuits and Feeders Type SE cable with ungrounded conductor sizes 10 AWG and smaller, installed in thermal insulation, is limited to ampacity rating at 60°C. Larger SE cable installed in thermal insulation is no longer limited to an ampacity in the 60°C and can be applied at 75°C rating. 358.10 Uses Permitted Section 358.10 has been revised for clarity and consistency with other .10 sections covering uses permitted for raceways. Permissive applications for EMT in 358.12 are relocated in 358.10 for clarity. Section 358.10(B) now addresses stainless steel EMT for corrosive environments. 366.20, 368.20, 376.20 and 378.20 Conductors Connected in Parallel New requirements for conductors connected in parallel are added in the .20 section of articles 366, 368, 376 and 378. Alternating current (AC) circuits connected in parallel must have conductors installed in groups consisting of not more than one conductor per phase, neutral or grounded conductor. The intention is to prevent current imbalance that can create heat and subsequent failure in the paralleled conductors due to inductive reactance.

Bathrooms, hallways, stairways and rooms suitable for human habitation require the grounded conductor to be installed. A reference to the applicable building code has been included. The section parent text has been modified for clarity, for multiple switch locations. New text requires connection to switch devices (where required) beginning Jan. 1, 2020. New Section 404.22 has been added and correlates with this section. 404.22 Electronic Lighting Control Switches All electronic lighting control switches are required to be listed. As of Jan. 1, 2020, electronic lighting control switches (with exceptions) will not be permitted to introduce current on the equipment-grounding conductor during normal operation. Manufacturers will only make devices that place current on the equipment-grounding conductor during normal operation for replacement/retrofit. 406.2 Outlet Box Hood Section 406.2 now contains a definition for “Outlet Box Hood” that applies where the term is used within Article 406. The hood does not serve to complete the electrical enclosure; it reduces the risk of water coming in contact with electrical components. Outlet box hoods are commonly known as a “bubble cover” or “in-use cover.” 406.3(F) Receptacles with USB Charger New 406.3(F), Receptacles with USB Charger, permits these devices to be installed if they are listed and constructed so the Class 2 circuitry is integral with the receptacle. These devices are listed to ANSI/UL 498. 406.12 Tamper-Resistant Receptacles Section 406.12 now addresses all 125- and 250V, nonlocking-type, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles. New occupancies have been added to the receptacle tamper-resistant requirements: Preschools and elementary education; business offices; corridors; waiting rooms and the like in clinics, medical and dental offices and outpatient facilities; assembly occupancies described in Section 518.2; and dormitories. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 11 of 23 Page 190 of 223 422.16(B)(2) Built-in Dishwashers and Trash Compactors Flexible cords supplying trash compactors are permitted to be between 3–4 feet long. A longer, flexible cord to facilitate connection for dishwashers in an adjacent space is permitted to be between 3–6½ feet long. The receptacle for a trash compactor must be located in the space occupied by the appliance or adjacent, and the receptacle for a built-in dishwasher must be located in the space adjacent to the space occupied by the dishwasher. 422.31(A) and (B) Appliance Disconnects Permanently connected appliances rated at not over 300 volt-amperes or 1/8 horsepower (hp) and motor operated appliances over 1/8 hp now require disconnects within sight or lockable in accordance with 110.25. The provisions for locking shall remain in place with or without the lock installed. This will require an identified accessory for circuit breakers. 424.99(C) Installation Under Floor Covering A grounding braid or sheath is required for all heating panels and heating panel sets installed under floor covering. Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)protection is required for all heating panels and heating panel sets installed under floor covering. The combination of a grounding braid or sheath and GFCI increases protection from shock. Article 425—Industrial Process Heating Equipment Article 425 is added to cover fixed industrial process heating employing electric resistance or electrode heating technology. Article 425’s requirements are similar to those in existing Article 424. It does not apply to heating and room air conditioning for personnel spaces, fixed heating equipment for pipelines/vessels, and induction and dielectric heating equipment and other special applications. 430.99 CC Available Fault Current Documentation Section 430.99 is new and requires documentation of the amount of available short- circuit current at a motor control center and the date the calculation was made. This information must be documented and available for the authority having jurisdiction to ensure compliance with 430.98(A). While a label or marking of available short-circuit current is not required on the motor control center, it may be the most feasible method of complying with this new requirement. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 12 of 23 Page 191 of 223 430.130(A)(4) Circuits Containing Power Conversion Equipment New Section 430.130(A)(4) replaces the previous informational note to address the type of protective device for circuits containing power conversion equipment. Where an instantaneous trip circuit breaker or semiconductor fuses are used, they must be an integral part of a single listed assembly. This revision aligns the NEC with the applicable product standard, UL 508C. 440.9 Grounding and Bonding Section 440.9 now requires a “wire-type” equipment grounding conductor (EGC) for outdoor portions of metallic raceway systems that use nonthreaded fittings installed on a roof. Physical damage caused by activities on a roof combined with the weather can cause nonthreaded connectors and couplings to open, eliminating the fault return path on the metal raceway. While this is a significant revision, there will be little impact on the industry because the vast majority of EMT installations include a “wire-type” EGC by specification without regard to where the EMT is installed. 440.65 Protection Devices for Room Air Conditioners Section 440.65 was retitled “Protection Devices.” The permitted protective devices are a leakage-current detection interrupter (LCDI), an arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) or a heat-detecting circuit interrupter (HDCI). An HDCI incorporates all of the protection functions of an LCDI and includes a thermal detecting function to the air conditioner’s compressor against overheating. 445.13(B) Ampacity of Conductors New Section 445.13(B) clarifies that generator-supplied conductors on the load side of an overcurrent protective device are not required to be sized at 115 percent of the generator nameplate current. Generator-supplied conductors on the load side of an overcurrent protective device (OCPD) may be applied in accordance with 240.21(B). The 115 percent rule applies only to conductors from the generator output terminals to an OCPD.

Section 445.18(A) requires one or more disconnecting means (110.25) that simultaneously open all ungrounded conductors for all generators other than cord- and plug-connected portable generators. Section 445.18(B) requires a means to shut down the prime mover, disabling all prime mover start control circuits, rendering the prime mover incapable of starting. Section 445.18(C) provides clarity for required disconnects where generators are installed in parallel. 480.3 Listing of Batteries and Management Equipment Section 480.3 is new and requires all batteries and their associated battery management equipment to be listed. The listing requirement excludes lead-acid-type batteries. Catastrophic failures in new battery technology systems mandate rigorous testing for safety. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 14 of 23 Page 193 of 223 500.2 Definitions Multiple definitions previously located in 500.2 have been relocated to Article 100. Section 2.2.2.1 of the NEC Style Manual requires that, if a term appears in more than two articles, it shall be included in Article 100. The words “as applied to Hazardous (Classified) Locations” have been added in brackets following each relocated defined term. 500.5(A) Ammonia Areas are permitted to be Unclassified The title of Subdivision (A) has been changed from “Classifications of Locations” to “General.” Classification of ammonia system refrigerant machinery rooms has been revised and clarified based on provided ventilation. Ammonia areas provided with adequate, continuous mechanical ventilation or initiation by a detection system at concentrations not exceeding 150 parts per million shall be permitted to be as unclassified locations. Section 505.5(A), covering the hazardous location classification zone system, includes a similar revision. 505.15(A) New Limits for Protection Techniques in Zone 0 Locations Section 505.15(A) provides requirements for allowable wiring methods in Class I, Zone 0 locations. The previous allowance for all intrinsically safe wiring methods in accordance with Article 504 has been reduced. Type “ia” intrinsically safe circuits and type “ma” encapsulation are suitable protection techniques for installations in Zone 0 hazardous locations. 511.3(D) Classification of Locations in Commercial Repair Garages Section 511.3(D) has been revised and titled “Repair Garages, Major.” This subdivision and new associated Table 511.3(D) provide area classification for major repair garages that use lighter-than-air gaseous fuels. The new informational note provides a reference to NFPA 30A and Table 8.3.2, the origin of these area classification requirements. 511.8 Underground Wiring A new Section 511.8, Underground Wiring, and an exception have been added. The driving text requires either threaded rigid metal conduit or intermediate metal conduit. The exception permits nonmetallic wiring methods under restrictive conditions dealing with depth, transitions to metallic conduit methods and installing an equipment grounding conductor. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 15 of 23 Page 194 of 223 514.3(B)(3) Storage Tank Area Classifications A list item (3) in Section 514.3(B) is new and addresses liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tank areas and locations. The new requirements provide separation distances from property lines and from other gas storage tanks. Table 514.3(B)(2) is referenced from this new list item for establishing classification of areas containing CNG, LNG or LPG storage or dispensing operations. 514.11 Emergency Disconnects for Motor Fuel Dispensing Equipment Section 514.11 has been revised to align with the requirements in NFPA 30A 2015. Subdivision (A) now addresses only emergency disconnects for dispensing equipment and no longer addresses circuit maintenance disconnects and breaking all conductors of the circuit(s). Section 514.13 still provides these requirements. Subdivisions (B) and (C) address locations of disconnects for attended and unattended dispensing facilities, respectively. Article 516 Rewritten Article 516, Spray Application, Dipping, Coating, and Printing Processes Using Flammable or Combustible Materials, has been rewritten to align more closely with NFPA 33 and 34 including extracted material. The rewrite includes organizing the previous requirements into separately titled parts of Article 516. The revisions provide a more logical layout, which enhances usability, and more consistency with NEC Style Manual requirements. 517.2 Governing Body of Health Care Facilities The term “governing body” appears in multiple sections in NEC Article 517. A new definition of the term has been added to Section 517.2 to meet NEC Style Manual requirements. The new definition correlates between NFPA 99, Health Care Code, and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, as it is an extracted definition. This definition is important because it directly relates to the governing body that makes decisions about the level of patient care in all facility spaces. A critical aspect of the new definition is that this body has the overall legal responsibility for the operation of the healthcare facility. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 16 of 23 Page 195 of 223 517.2 Invasive Procedure A new definition of the term “invasive procedure” has been added to 517.2 and includes any procedure that penetrates the protective surfaces of a patient’s body (i.e., skin, mucous membrane, cornea) and that is performed with an aseptic field. Note that not included in this category are placement of peripheral intravenous needles or catheters used to administer fluids or medications, gastrointestinal endoscopies, insertion of urethral catheters and other similar procedures. This revision aligns NEC Article 517 with the term defined and used in NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code. 517.2 Patient Care Spaces The defined terms under the main definition of “patient care space” have been revised, and descriptive informational notes follow each term. The revisions incorporate numerical categories (1 through 4) following each definition, and the bracketed information contains the location of the extract. The care locations within a healthcare facility are now defined as “spaces” and are each provided with a specific category that indicates the level of care under that designation. The revision aligns Article 517 with terms defined and used within NFPA 99. 517.16 Use of Isolated Grounding Receptacles This section has been expanded into two subdivisions. Subdivision (A) provides a clear prohibition of isolated grounding (IG) receptacles within any patient-care vicinity and is extracted from NFPA 99. Subdivision (B) provides allowable installations of IG receptacles that are outside of a defined patient-care vicinity. IG receptacles must be wired to meet the requirements in 517.13(A) and (B) and include an insulated copper equipment grounding conductor for the IG receptacle in accordance with 250.146(D). The wire-type insulated equipment grounding conductors are required, and the conductor installed for the IG receptacle must be identified with green insulation that includes one or more yellow stripes. 517.29 Essential Electrical Systems for Hospitals and Other Health Care Facilities A new Section 517.29 has been added in Part III of Article 517. This provides information relative to types of essential electrical systems (EESs) required for Category 1 and Category 2 care locations. Subdivision (B) clarifies that critical care (Category 1) spaces shall be served only by a Type 1 EES. The type designations for the essential electrical systems in healthcare facilities are new to Article 517, and they align with the “Type 1” and “Type 2” designations included in NFPA 110, Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 17 of 23 Page 196 of 223 517.30 Sources of Power Expanded The required sources of power have been relocated from Section 517.35 to 517.30 for usability. Fuel cells are now included as a source of power for the essential electrical system, and it must be listed for that use. Subdivision (C) has been revised to remove the subjective phrase “careful consideration” and now clearly includes mandatory requirements for location of EES components and services. 517.40 Essential Electrical System for Nursing Homes and Limited Care Facilities The words “Type 2” have been added to the title of 517.40. The revision clarifies the type of EES required for nursing homes and limited-care facilities. The informational note assigns categories to the types of care in these facilities and provides the trigger for application of 517.29 through 30.

New Section 600.34 provides installation requirements for PV-powered signs. 625.2 Definitions Article 625 covers electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and specifically addresses conductive charging and inductive (wireless) charging. Eight definitions are added to support new requirements for electric vehicle charging. Multiple new definitions are added to address wireless power transfer. These definitions mirror terminology used in SAE J2954, a standard that covers wireless charging of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. A new Part IV of Article 625 provides rules for wireless power transfer equipment. 680.2 Electrically Powered Pool Lifts An electrically powered pool lift is now defined in 680.2 as a lift that provides accessibility to and from a pool or spa for people with disabilities. New Article 680 Part VIII provides requirements for electrically powered pool lifts. Only the requirements in Part VIII of Article 680 apply to pool lifts. This equipment is required to be listed. 680.7 Grounding and Bonding Terminals New Section 680.7, Grounding and Bonding Terminals, has been added and provides specific requirements for all grounding and bonding terminals. All must be identified for use in wet and corrosive environments and listed for direct burial use. Where field- installed in a damp, wet or corrosive environment, all must be composed of copper, copper alloy or stainless steel. 680.11 Location of Underground Pool Wiring Requirements from 680.10 for location of underground wiring have been relocated to 680.11. The prohibition of wiring within 5 feet of the pool is removed; all permitted wiring methods are listed. Former Table 680.10 for minimum cover depths has been deleted. Now, all underground wiring cover depths in the pool area must be in accordance with Table 300.5.

An array boundary is established with requirements for circuits outside and inside the array boundary. Three rapid-shutdown methods are provided for circuits inside the array boundary with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2019. The requirements for rapid shutdown of PV systems and equipment installed on buildings are in direct response to concerns expressed by first responders. Rapid shutdown provides responders with a method to reduce the output of PV systems to 30 volts within 30 seconds to allow for safe firefighting operations. 690.56(C) Marking Requirements for Buildings With PV Systems Marking requirements for rapid shutdown were significantly revised to warn emergency responders of hazards presented by a PV system and associated conductors. Two specific types of markings now address the type of rapid shutdown of the PV system and conductors in 690.12. Two new figures provide prescriptive and consistent detail in the required markings. 691 Large-Scale PV Systems Large-scale PV electric power production facilities are covered by new Article 691. The number of large-scale PV systems is relatively small, but they generate more power than the combined output of all residential and commercial PV. To qualify for applying Article 691, all provisions in 691.4 must be met. A system is considered large-scale PV if it has a capacity of 5,000 kilowatts and is not under exclusive utility control. Only qualified personnel are permitted to maintain and operate these systems. 695.3 Power Sources for Electric-Driven Fire Pumps A new informational note in 695.3 provides Code users with useful guidance for determination of reliability. NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, has purview over fire pump performance and the reliability of the power source. Shutdowns, routine loss of power and overhead service conductors are identified as factors that would cause consideration that the source as unreliable. X:\Plandev\Witt\BBA\Packets\121521\NEC-2 - Major Changes 2014-2017.docx Page 20 of 23 Page 199 of 223 700.2 Definitions A new definition of “directly controlled luminaires” was added to 700.2. Article 700.24 was added during the 2014 revision cycle. It permits directly controlled luminaires as emergency lighting, but the term was not defined. These luminaires may be dimmed but must be driven to full illumination upon loss of normal power. 700.3(C) and 701.3(C) Maintenance Sections 700.3(C) and 701.3(C) have been revised to require maintenance on all emergency and legally required system equipment. Electrical equipment in these emergency and legally required standby systems must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and NFPA 70B, Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance. 700.10(A) Identification of Emergency System Wiring Where boxes or enclosures are not encountered, exposed cable or raceway systems must be marked as a component of an emergency circuit or system at intervals not to exceed 25 feet. Receptacles supplied from the emergency system must have a distinctive color or marking on the cover plates or the receptacles themselves. The NEC does not specify a color, but red is often used. 702.12(C) Power Inlets Rated 100 Amperes or Greater A new Section 702.12(C) requires power inlets rated 100 amperes (A) or greater for portable generators in optional standby systems to be listed for the intended use. Power inlets must be equipped with an interlocked disconnecting means. Exceptions are included for inlet devices that are rated as a disconnecting means and for supervised industrial installations. Article 706 Energy Storage Systems Energy storage is becoming essential to meeting load-leveling capabilities along with demand response as it relates to smart grid initiatives and Department of Energy mandates on energy use. Associated and emerging technology coupled with the need for energy storage systems (ESSs) is growing rapidly, and new Article 706 provides requirements for ESSs in the NEC. Article 706’s scope specifically limits application to permanently installed ESSs over 50 volts (V) AC or 60V DC to correlate with existing requirements. This article correlates multiple other energy storage requirements in the NEC.

All COPS-supplied receptacles installed where other power systems are present must have a distinctive color or marking on the cover plates or receptacles themselves so as to be readily identifiable. Article 712 DC Microgrids New Article 712 provides installation requirements for DC microgrids. DC microgrids eliminate power conversion resulting in more efficient use of renewable energy sources. DC power sources include AC-DC converters (rectifiers), bidirectional DC-AC inverters/converters, photovoltaic systems, wind generators, ESSs (including batteries) and fuel cells. 725.144 Transmission of Power Over Limited Energy Cables A new Section 725.144 was added to address requirements for Class 2 and Class 3 circuits that transmit power and data to a powered device. Table 725.144 is new and lists permitted ampacities based on conductor types, sizes, number of cables bundled and ambient temperatures. Conductors that supply power for data circuits must be copper. 728.5(C) Fire-Resistive Cable Installation Section 725.5(C) has been modified to mandate that raceway fill for each system comply with the listing requirements for the system and not be greater than the fill permitted in Table 1, Chapter 9.
