What are your Circuit Protection Requirements?

An understanding of circuit types and circuit protection products is critical to ensure their proper application.
See NEC Sections 100, 430 and 409 for definitions. The proper sizing of an overcurrent protection device is the responsibility of the customer and should be determined using the application standards of the NEC (National Electric Code), CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) or other applicable standards. Per fine print note of 2008 NEC Section 100 "A current in excess of rating may be accommodated by certain equipment and conductors for a given set of conditions. Therefore, the rules for overcurrent protection are specific for particular situations."
