Licensing Definition – a permission granted by competent authority to engage in a practice of profession or business or in an activity.
A PEE who designed, signed, and sealed an electrical plans – means he/she guaranteed the safety of the electrical plans for 15 years in accordance to Civil Code.
PEE, REE or RME who signed as in-charge of installations also guaranteed the safety of the electrical installations for 15 years.
You can only guaranteed the safety of your electrical designs/installations if you are well-versed in the Philippine Electrical Code.
“Licensing guarantees the safety
of your works!!!!”

Consideration should be given for future expansion of electrical systems but this is not a Code requirement.
The PEC is a safety standard, not a design guide. Electrical designs must comply with the requirements of PEC to ensure safety.
Energy management, maintenance, and power quality issues aren’t within the scope of the PEC.

The National Electrical CodeThe first documented case of a Code as a requirement of rules was published on 16th Nov. 1881 entitled “The Dangers of Electric Lighting”.
The first NEC was developed in 1897, eighteen after the invention of incandescent light bulb by Thomas A. Edison.
Since 1911, the NFPA of Quincy, Massachussets, has been responsible for the maintenance and publication of the NEC.
Regularly revised (every three years) to reflect the evolution of products, materials, and installation techniques.

ELECTRICAL FIRES
If a fault develops, the current (and heat energy) can increase to the extent that either the appliance burns out, the connecting wiring overheats and melts the plastic insulation or the plug and socket may burn out.
An electrical fire then occur where the overheated wiring, motor, plug, etc. are in contact with or close to flammable or combustible material.
ELECTRICAL FIRE can be defined as a fire where an electric current or electrical fault is found to have been the source of ignition.

A universal change throughout the 2009 PEC is the replacement of “computed load” and “demand load” with “calculated load.” For example, the term demandload is being replaced with calculated load to improve clarity and to reduce confusion, especially when related to “calculated load” and “demand factor.”The term calculated load includes demand factor, the concepts of diversity, and historical data.

Change Significance: The scope of the article clearly covers both grounding and bonding. Adding the term bonding to the title of the article is appropriate, and is consistent with the fact that there are generally as many bonding requirements and provisions included within Article 2.50 as there are grounding requirements, if not more.

A new last sentence has been added to 3.10.15(b)(2)(a) to require that individual conductors of paralleled sets be counted as current-carrying conductor. This is intended to clarify varying interpretations of whether each conductor of a paralleled set of conductors is required to be counted individually or if all of the conductors count as one for the purpose of derating. Clearly, each conductor of the parallel set is required to be counted individually for the purposes of rating.

(4) Neutral Conductor.a) A neutral conductor that carries only the unbalanced current
from other conductors of the same circuit shall not be required to be counted when applying the provisions of Section3.10.1.15(b)(2)(a).
b) In a 3-wire circuit consisting of two phase wires and the neutral of a 4-wire, 3-phase wye-connected system, a common conductor carries approximately the same current as the line-to-neutral load currents of the other conductors and shall be counted when applying the provisions of Section 3.10.1.15(b)(2)(a).
c) On a 4-wire, 3-phase wye circuit where the major portion of the load consists of nonlinear loads, harmonic currents are present in the neutral conductor; the neutral shall therefore beconsidered a current-carrying conductor.

Notes
For metal auxiliary gutters, 3.66.2.14(a) indicates that derating is not required so long as the number of current-carrying conductors at any cross section does not exceed 30. A similar statement is included for sheet metal wirewaysin 3.76.2.13.
Derating for the number of current-carrying conductors in non-metallic auxiliary gutters and wireways is required, beginning at four-current carrying conductors, because conductors in non-metallic enclosures do not dissipate heat as well as those in sheet-metal enclosures.

Introduction
Art. 6.95 contains many requirements to keep that supply of water uninterrupted.
For example:1. Locating the pump so as to minimize its
exposure to fire.
2. Ensuring that the fire pump and its jockey pump have a reliable source of power.
3. It makes sense to keep fire pump wiring independent.

Introduction
Other requirements seem wrong at first glance, until you remember why the fire pump is there in the first place.
For example:1. The disconnect must be lockable in the
closed position.
2. Fire pumps power circuits cannot have automatic protection against overload.

Introduction
“ It’s better to run the fire pump until its winding melt, than to save the fire pump and lose the facility”
And the intent of Article 6.95 is to save the facility.
