What is NEC primarily concerned with?

The National Electrical Code (NEC) is primarily concerned with safety in electrical installations and systems. Its main purpose is to ensure that electrical wiring, equipment, and installations are designed and installed in a way that minimizes the risk of fire, electrocution, and other electrical hazards. The code covers a wide range of topics, including proper grounding, circuit protection, and safe installation practices. Compliance with the NEC is critical to protecting lives and property from the risks associated with electrical failures.

While sustainability, efficiency, and recycling are important concepts in various fields, they are not the primary focus of the NEC. Sustainability and efficiency may be considered in certain sections regarding energy-efficient technologies or practices, but the overarching goal of the NEC remains centered on safety.
