Canadian Electrical Code

Training Provided by Last Minute Training Designers, installers and users are responsible for electrical safety. The Canadian Electrical Code establishes safety standards for design, installation, maintenance and use of electrical wiring by preventing undue electrical fire and shock hazards. Excellent code knowledge is a prerequisite to correct specification and application of equipment and wiring in all areas of design, construction, maintenance, manufacturing and the use of electricity. This seminar demonstrates accurate interpretations and applications in areas such as wiring systems, grounding and bonding, protection and control, motors, lines and substations, explosion-proof areas, fire alarms and emergency systems. It also highlights key standards, including the Building Code, IEEE, NFPA and CSA which are referenced in the Canadian Electrical Code. After Participating In The Seminar, You Will Be Able To: * Recognize the electrical code requirements for electrical distribution systems * Comply with the requirements of the code to ensure they are accounted for in the design, construction and operation of electrical systems * Apply your knowledge of grounding and bonding requirements in the code * Work with greater insight into the protection and control requirements of the code * Enhance safety of your hazardous locations by complying with the code * Adjust motor applications, substations and high voltage lines to meet with the code requirements * Select suitable wire and cable for your projects
