Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of
everyone involved in electrical safety. The following is what I feel is an
important rule in the 2020 NEC®, complete with
graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for
your organization, and share it with your colleagues.

For most of us, a loss of utility or normal electrical power is an inconvenience and is usually restored as soon as humanly possible. But where electrical power is essential for maintaining safety to human life, an emergency electrical system is required. Do you know what types of occupancies might require this consideration and who classifies these systems as emergency?
To answer these questions and fully understand what distinguishes an ‘Emergency System’ from a ‘Backup System, read the attached text (paying particular attention the ‘Informational Note’) and watch the video as me and a panel of experts explain.
