Suggestion

[Hameedulla-Ekhlas]

Greeting all,
I have one idea regarding to NEC-book. NEC-book is a very nice book for electrical system design. It has considered alot of safty for mankind.
It is a good book for low voltage interior and exterior design.
My suggestion is that, why do they extend NEC Book for medium voltage and high voltage ( Generation, Transmisson, Distribution)
to consider all factors and safty as a standard in one reference book.

NEC for low voltage design,
NEC for medium voltage design
NEC for high voltage design

I mean it should have some information about ( wind power design system, substation, solar power, Transmission line and Tower)

My purpose of saying is only to make it easy for every body to use only one reference book for low, medium, and high voltages.

NEC-book is a very nice book for electrical system design.

Please take a quick look at 90.1(C).

My suggestion is that, why do they extend NEC Book for medium voltage and high voltage

The NEC covers that now just not that in depth.

For example; Part III of Article 110 or Part X of Article 250 etc.

You might want to check out the NESC, that is the standard that I believe most American power compaines use for distribution installations.

the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC?) sets the ground rules for practical safeguarding of persons during the installation, operation, or maintenance of electric supply and communication lines and associated equipment.

The NEC is just one part of the NFPA. There are a number of NFPA documents that address the Issue(s)...NFPA has a long list of stuff that affects our work daily - NEC is NFPA 70, fire alarm is NFPA 72, Life safety is NFPA 101.

The volumes required, would be overwhelming.
