ESFI 'CRACKS THE CODE' FOR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY MONH

摘要

The National Electrical Code (NEC) was introduced in 1897 before the advent of common home innovations such as vacuum cleaners, dishwashers and refrigerators. When the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) became the sponsor of the NEC in 1911. only about one-quarter of American homes were electrified. In contrast, the average American home today has more television sets than people. A home built in 1930 had much different electrical needs and demands than one built today, which is why it is so important for consumers to understand their home electrical systems and the demands placed on them by today's electrical appliances. Much like consumer electronics magazines highlight the newest gadgets on the market, the National Electrical Code features the latest technologies to make sure that your home's level of safety also remains on the cutting edge.
