Description / Abstract:
Foreword
This publication has been prepared to provide all interested
persons an opportunity to study and comment on the Proposed
Revisions to be incorporated into the 2017 Edition of the National
Electrical Safety Code® (NESC®).
This Preprint provides the full text of each proposal to revise
the 2012 Edition of the NESC together with the recommendation of
the subcommittee that has cognizance of the rule addressed by the
change proposal (CP). A change bar, located in the left hand
margin, signifies the specific material that the various
subcommittees each have approved for the inclusion in the revised
Code.
The deadline for receipt of comments on the Proposal Revision
contained herein is 1 May 2015. All comments shall be submitted
through the website shown below. Only comments that are submitted
electronically through the website will be accepted. For
instructions, see:

Comments for each separate topic are to be uploaded separately
and must use the template at the following URL:

In those cases where a single CP or a group of related CPs
affects rules within the scopes of two or more subcommittees, the
recommendations of all subcommittees affected are included. Where
there are recommendations of two or more subcommittees, a
recommendation by Subcommittee 1, which is responsible for
coordination, is also included as the final proposed change in this
phase of the NESC revision cycle.
Please note that the subcommittee recommendations herein are
subject to further review and revision by the cognizant
subcommittee following study and evaluation of all comments
received in the Fall of 2015. The subcommittee final recommendation
will be prepared for a February 2016 letter ballot of the National
Electrical Safety Code Committee. It is anticipated that the
approved text will be submitted for American National Standards
Institute approval in May 2016, with publication of the NESC 2017
Edition on 1 August 2016.
