Selective Coordination Panel

Meeting the Demands of the

New 2008 NEC® Code
 Market Requirements

Due to recent NEC® changes (implemented in the 2005 code cycle and refined in the 2008

code cycle), a requirement to provide selective coordination emerged in a number of critical

circuits. The NEC® now requires selective coordination for Emergency (700.27), Legally

Required Standby (701.18), Essential Electrical Systems (517.26) and Critical Operations

Power Systems (708.54). As more states adopt the 2005 and 2008 NEC®, consulting/
