Québec Electrical Code, 2007Québec Construction Code Chapter V - ElectricityCanadian Electrical code Part I (20th Edition) with Québec Amendments |
| The object of this Code is to establish safety standards for the
installation and maintenance of electrical equipment. In its preparation,
consideration has been given to the prevention of fire and shock hazards, as
well as proper maintenance and operation. Compliance with the requirements of
this Code and proper maintenance will ensure an essentially safe installation.
Safe installations may also be ensured by compliance with the objective-based
fundamental safety principles of IEC 60364-1 (see Appendix K).
Compliance with these objective-based installation criteria by industrial and similar users may be achieved through the implementation of specific quality management programs or equivalent programs acceptable to the authorities adopting and enforcing this Code. Wiring installations that do not make provision for the increasing use of electricity may be overloaded in the future, resulting in a hazardous condition. It is recommended that the initial installation have sufficient wiring capacity and that there be some provision made for wiring changes that might be required as a result of future load growth. This Code is not intended as a design specification nor as an instruction manual for untrained persons. The requirements in this Code address the fundamental principles of protection for safety contained in Section 131 of IEC 60364-1, which encompasses protection against electric shock, thermal effects, overcurrent, fault currents, and overvoltage. This Code and any standards referenced herein do not make or imply any assurance or guarantee by the authority adopting this Code with respect to life expectancy, durability, or operating performance of equipment and materials referenced herein. This Code will become effective in the province of Québec in the month of November 2007. Scope: This Code covers all electrical work and electrical equipment operating or intended to operate at all voltages in electrical installations for buildings, structures, and premises, including factory-built relocatable and non-relocatable structures, and self-propelled marine vessels stationary for periods exceeding five months and connected to a shore supply of electricity continuously or from time to time, with the following exceptions:
