Safety wiring rules
Electrical code refers to regulations governing the installation and maintenance of electrical systems in buildings.
These codes establish safety standards for wiring, outlets, circuit breakers, and other components to prevent fires and electrocution.
In the United States, the National Electrical Code (NEC) serves as the baseline, though local jurisdictions may adopt modified versions: The inspector flagged several electrical code violations.
