What Cables Can Be Used in Patient Care Areas?
|
|
It’s important to use the right cable in patient care areas because the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) has strict requirements to ensure the safety of patients. First, we will define what exactly a patient care area is and then outline available options.
The NEC® sets the definition of a patient care area. Cables intended for patient care areas are generally referred to as HCF cables to indicate they are designed to meet these requirements.

Use of Flexible Conduits in Structural Joints
– AFC Cable Systems in a NEMA Podcast
|
|
Flexible conduit for electrical wiring installation continues to gain market acceptance.
AFC Cable Systems® attributes this to the ease of installation compared to traditional methods because they require less physical labor to install. Many of these installations are standard commercial and industrial applications. As a result of newer technologies and advancements in materials, applications where flexible conduit is desired have increased. This leads us to the question: How much flexible conduit should be used for structural joints that might expand or contract?
Read the article and take a moment to listen to AFC’s manager of codes and standards, George Strainero, talk about the necessary calculations on a recent NEMA podcast.

The National Electrical Code Process Explained
|
|
The National Electrical Code® (NEC®), or NFPA 70, is a regionally adoptable standard for the installation of electrical wiring and equipment developed by the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA).
As with all NFPA standards, development of the NEC® is an open process built on a consensus of input from the public and industry sources. The NEC® is revised on a three-year cycle, and each cycle takes approximately two years to complete. Accordingly, the revision cycle for the 2020 NEC® has already begun and is scheduled for completion in June of 2019.
