2009 Philippine Electrical Code

It
is NOT a textbook.
It
gives NO background, reasons,

application or illustration of rules and
regulations set down in the Code.
The
code is more of a catalogue of

rules for an electrical installation.
The
Code definition of term is NOT the

same as a definition for the same
word in a standard dictionary.


Historical Background
The 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.
21 Separate Committee, each consisting of 15-20 persons. Members of each
committee meet several times, discuss proposed changes, accepting some
and rejecting others, and rewrite (as required) the sections of the Code that
were assigned to their committee.
The 2009 PEC used the 2005 Edition of the National Electrical Code as
referenced Code.


2009 Philippine Electrical

Code
Purpose
The primary objective of the code is to
establish basic materials quality and
electrical works standards for the safe use
of electricity for light, heat, power,
communications, signaling and for other
purposes.
Practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards
arising from the use of electricity
COMPLIANCE TO THE PEC WILL ENSURE SAFETY
AND PREVENT ELECTRICAL FIRES


Intention
NOT intended as a design specification or an

instruction manual for untrained persons.
The term untrained persons can be interpreted to
mean anyone who does NOT have an understanding of
electricity and electrical construction.
It can also mean that the Code assumes a person
reading or studying it knows and understands basic
Ohm Law, Kirchoffs Law, the triangle of fire, etc.


Qualified Person



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

10

Scope
Covered- the installation of electrical conductors, equipment, and
raceways, monitoring, signaling, and communications conductors,
equipment, and raceways; and optical fibers and raceways
installed within or on, to from:
Public and private buildings.

Electric Gen. Plants
Industrial plants
Transformer stations
Permanent & Temporary S/s
Airfields
Railways switchyard
Yards, carnival, parks, parking and other lots
Quarries and mines
Watercraft
Dockyards
Trailers
Mobile Homes and recreational vehicles
Offshore facilities


11

Not covered
Installations in railway rolling stock, aircraft, or automotive
vehicles
Installations of railways for generation, transformation,
transmission, or distribution of power used exclusively for
operation of transmission stock
Interpretation
The Board of Electrical Engineering shall render the final
decision in the interpretation of any portion of the PEC, in
case of controversy.


12

Classification of Code Rules

1. Wiring Design Rules
2. Installation Rules
3. Manufacturing Rules


13

CLASSIFICATION OF CODE RULES
Wiring design rules used to determine
sizes and rating of circuit conductors and
devices.
Example:
1. Branch circuit conductors supplying a single motor shall
have an ampacity not less than 125% of the full-load
current. Section 4.30.2.2
2. The disconnecting means for motor circuits shall have an
ampere rating of at least 115% of the full-load current
rating of the motor. Section 4.30.10.10(a)

14

Installation rules
Example:
1. A disconnecting means shall be located within
sight from the motor controller. Section 4.30.102
2. In class II Division I Locations, motors,
generators,
and
other
rotating
electric
machinery shall be dust ignition proof or totally
enclosed pipe ventilated and shall be approved
for class II locations. Sections 5.02.8

15

Manufacturing rules
Example:
Section 4.30.1.7
A motor shall
information:
be
marked
with
the
following
1) Manufacturers Name
2) Rated Volts and Full-load Amperes
3) Rated Frequency and Number of Phases, if
an alternating current motor, etc.
4) Rated full-load speed

16

In the Installation Rules , one element of the Triangle

of Fire is removed to make the installation safe.

Universal Change
A universal change throughout the Code is

the replacement of computed load and
demand load with calculated load. For
example, the term demand load 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.

WHY?

146
Module 9- Fire Pumps

The general philosophy behind Code articles

is that circuit protection will shut down
equipment before letting the supply
conductors melt from overload.
Art. 6.95 Fire Pumps depart from this

philosophy.
The idea is that the fire pump motor must

run, no matter what; it supplies water to
facilitys fire protection piping, which in
turn supplies water to the sprinkler system
and fire hoses.

147
6.95.1.1 Scope
a)
Covered
1) Electric power sources and interconnecting circuits
2) Switching and control equipment dedicated to fire
pump drivers
b) Not Covered
1) The performance, maintenance, and acceptance
testing of the fire pump system, and the internal
wiring of the components of the system
2) Pressure maintenance (jockey or makeup) pumps


148
6.95.1.3 Power Sources for

Electric-Motor Driven Fire Pumps
a)
Individual Source
1) Electric Utility Service. A separate service from
a connection located ahead of but not within the
service disconnecting means.
2) On-Site Power. An on-site power supply, such
as generator, located and protected to minimize
damage by fire is permitted to supply a fire
pump.


149

a) Electric-Utility Service Connection


150

a) Electric-Utility Service
Connection

151

2) On-Site Power Production Facility


152

b)
Multiple Sources
1) Generator Capacity. Shall have sufficient
capacity to allow normal starting and running 0f
the motor(s) driving the fire pump(s) while
supplying other simultaneously operated load.
2) Feeder Sources.
3) Arrangement. The power sources shall be
arranged so that a fire at one will not cause an
interruption at the other source.


153

2) Feeder Sources

154
6.95.1.5 Transformers
Dedicated transformer and

overcurrent protection sizing can be
broken down into three
requirements.
1. The transformer must be size to at least 125% of
the sum of the loads.
2. The transformer primary overcurrent device
must be at least a specified minimum size.
3. The transformer secondary must not contain
any overcurrent device whatsoever.

155
6.95.1.5 Transformers
The overcurrent device in the primary of a transformer supplying

a fire pump installation. The device is required to be sized to carry
the locked-rotor current motor(s) and associated fire pump
accessory equipment indefinitely.

156
6.95.1.6 Power Wiring

a)
Service and Feeder Conductors.

Supply conductors must be
physically routed outside buildings
and must be installed in accordance
with Article 2.30. Where supply
conductors cannot be routed outside
buildings, they must be encased in 2
inches or 50 mm of concrete or brick.


157
