National Electrical Installation Standards

are
designed to improve communication among speci-
fiers, purchasers, and suppliers of electrical construc-
tion services. They define a minimum baseline of
quality and workmanship for installing electrical
products and systems. NEIS

are intended to be ref-

erenced in contract documents for electrical con-
struction projects. The following language is recom-
mended:
Temporary electric power installations at con-
struction sites shall be installed and maintained
in accordance with NECA 200-2010, Standard
for Installing and Maintaining Temporary Electric
Power at Construction Sites (ANSI).
Use of NEIS is voluntary, and the National Electrical
Contractors Association assumes no obligation or lia-
bility to users of this publication. Existence of a
standard shall not preclude any member or non-
member of NECA from specifying or using alternate
construction methods permitted by applicable regu-
lations.
The installation and maintenance practices recom-
mended by this publication are intended to comply
with the edition of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) in effect at the time of publication. It is the
responsibility of users of this standard to comply
with state and local electrical codes when installing
electrical products and systems.
Safe work practices are beyond the scope of this doc-
ument. Electrical safety in the workplace require-
ments found in NFPA 70E also apply temporary elec-
trical installations addressed in this standard. NECA
supports safe work practices in the electrical industry
and safety training for the electrical workforce. See
NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the
Workplace for complete requirements related to
working safely with electricity.
Suggestions for revisions and improvements to this
standard are welcome. They should be addressed to:

1. Scope
I 2
2.1 Design, Permits, and Approvals
When the temporary construction power system is
not designed by the engineer of record, the electrical
contactor shall design the system, submit necessary
documentation, and obtain necessary permits from
the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) and the
serving electric utility.
The electrical contractor is not responsible for obtain-
ing property surveys, right-of-ways, easements, envi-
ronmental permits, or other similar requirements.
2.2 Install and Maintain
Install and maintain the temporary construction
power distribution system throughout the period of
construction and remove it at the end of the project.
The exact scope and responsibilities are governed by
the contract documents, but generally include the
following:
Moves, adds, changes, and repairs.
Outages.
Equipment owned and operated by others.
2.2.1 Moves, adds, changes, and repairs
The electrical contractor will be reimbursed in accor-
dance with the contract documents for moves, adds,
changes (MAC), and repairs required during con-
struction that were not part of the original contract
documents, or the approved temporary construction
power distribution system and could not have been
reasonably anticipated.
2.2.2 Outages
The electrical contractor is not responsible for the
effects of power outages caused by others, or by
external factors beyond its control that could not be
reasonably anticipated.
2.2.3 Equipment owned and operated by
others
The electrical contractor is not responsible for the
installation, maintenance, repair, or removal of
equipment owned and operated by others. This
includes, but is not limited to, portable power tools,
extension cords, power distribution boxes, and task
lighting. Unless otherwise required by the contract
documents, equipment owned and used by others at
the construction site is the responsibility of those
who own and use it.
2. Responsibilities
3.1 Project Plan and Schedule
Install temporary construction power in accordance
with the overall project plan and schedule. Work
with the party responsible for overall project coordi-
nation to ensure that temporary power is available
when needed to support construction operations.
Identify the following project milestones:
(a) When temporary power must be available at
the construction site.
(b) When the temporary power supply needs to be
increased, modified, or extended to meet the
needs of specific construction operations.
(c) When the temporary power must be trans-
ferred (cutover) to the permanent building dis-
tribution system.
(d) When all or part of the temporary construction
power distribution system is to be removed.
(e) Other milestones during construction that
require a change, expansion, or removal of the
temporary construction power distribution
system.
3.2 Construction Phasing Requirements
When planning the temporary power installation,
consider construction phasing requirements to ensure
adequate, convenient, and serviceable power supply
throughout construction. The temporary power dis-
tribution system should be laid out to minimize dis-
ruption and rework of the temporary power distribu-
tion system during the period of construction.
3.3 Site Plan
Work with the party responsible for the overall project
coordination to develop a construction site plan show-
ing property boundaries and planned construction
areas, as well as the planned location and/or routing of
the following that may affect the installation of the
temporary electric power distribution system:
(a) Access roads and temporary parking.
(b) Other temporary and permanent utility ser-
vices.
(c) Existing and planned underground tanks and
structures.
(d) Fixed and movable construction equipment
and structures.
(e) Material delivery and storage areas.
(f) Construction offices and facilities.
(g) Other structures or areas that will conflict with
or impact the layout, installation, or mainte-
nance of the temporary construction power
distribution system.
(h) The extent and classification of all areas on the
construction site that are or will be hazardous
(classified) locations due to the properties of
the flammable vapors, liquids, or gases, or the
combustible dusts or fibers that may be pre-
sent, and the likelihood that a flammable or
combustible concentration or quantity will be
present during construction.
(i) Location of permanent electrical service.
When different areas of the construction site will
change their uses over the course of construction,
develop a series of site plans so that temporary con-
struction power can be coordinated with the planned
site development. Site plans should be keyed to mile-
stones in the project schedule.
3. Planning the Installation
3 I
3.4 Coordination With Other Trades
Notify other trades of the planned temporary electri-
cal service as soon as possible after receiving notice to
proceed (NTP) with construction. Request informa-
tion on any special electrical requirements or coordi-
nation needs. Special electrical requirements include
the testing of installed equipment, such as pumps,
compressors, chillers, elevators, and other equipment
using the temporary electrical power distribution
system.
3.5 Utility Coordination
3.5.1 Utility contact
Where temporary construction power will be sup-
plied totally or partially from the serving electric util-
ity, contact the utility to determine the following:
(a) The utilitys ability to provide temporary elec-
trical power.
(b) Schedule for providing the needed temporary
electrical power.
(c) Preparatory work required at the construction
site prior to utility construction or energizing
the temporary electrical service.

based on anticipated changes during construction,
uncertainty about planned construction means and
methods, and experience with similar installations.
4. Load Estimate
I 6
5.1 Utility Supply
Obtain information from the serving utility as
described in 3.5.1.
5.2 Existing Building Distribution System
When doing work such as moves, adds, changes,
repairs, and maintenance in existing buildings and
structures, it is often practical to use the buildings dis-
tribution system to provide temporary construction
power. If the owner grants permission to use the per-
manent power distribution system, do the following:
5.2.1 Capacity verification
Verify that the building distribution system has suffi-
cient spare electrical capacity to provide temporary
construction power based on the load estimate.
Verify the capacity of the existing building distribu-
tion system as follows:
(a) Use actual demand data for a one-year period
to determine the maximum load on the exist-
ing service.
(b) When demand data is not available for a one-
year period, service, or when construction
power will be added to the load on an existing
feeder, estimate the load on the existing service
or feeder as follows:
(1) Place a recording ammeter or power meter
on the highest loaded phase of the service
or feeder and measure the load for thirty
days. This is the phase that has the highest
load when the recording ammeter or power
meter is installed.
(2) If not included in this measurement, esti-
mate the larger of either the heating or
cooling equipment load and other loads
that may be periodic in nature due to sea-
sonal or similar conditions. Add this load
to the measured load.
(3) Add any other existing or anticipated loads
that may not have been included in the
measurement.
(c) The sum of the maximum demand of the
building service or feeder load plus 125 percent
of the estimated construction load should not
exceed the capacity of the service or feeder.
5.2.2 Supply methods
(a) Spare Space In Existing Equipment
If a spare circuit breaker or fused switch of correct
rating is not available in the existing equipment , and
there is spare space available, obtain a circuit breaker
or fused switch manufactured and listed for use in
the equipment. Install this in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Select the fuse rating, or
set adjustable-trip circuit breaker trip setting, as
required.
(b) Existing Busway
If an existing plug-in busway is available, install a
fused disconnect switch manufactured and listed for
use with the busway. For feeder busway, install fit-
tings manufactured and listed for use with existing
feeder busway to permit the installation of a fused
disconnect switch or bus tap fitting. Fuse as required.
(c) Bus Tap
Where space is not available in existing switchgear for
an additional circuit breaker or fused switch, tap a
temporary feed from the existing switchgear bus using
a listed bus tap kit. A temporary fused safety switch
5. Power Source Selection
7 I
can then be installed on or adjacent to the switchgear.
Install the safety switch and bus tap as follows:
(1) Install a heavy-duty fused safety switch with
equipment grounding terminal. The safety
switch should have the appropriate voltage
class, current and horsepower rating, number
of poles, and enclosure suitable for the installa-
tion. Fuse ungrounded circuit conductors as
required. Provide a solid neutral for systems
requiring a neutral.
(2) Locate the safety switch as near as practical to
the switchgear and install tap conductors in a
raceway suitable for the application. Ensure
that the safety switch is readily accessible and
working space is maintained around it.
(3) Tap the bus using a listed tap kit. Maintain
phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground clear-
ances as required at the tap point inside the
switchgear.
(4) Tap conductor circuits must meet the applica-
ble requirements in NEC 240.21 and include
an equipment grounding conductor(s) in
accordance with NEC 250.122.
5.2.3 Ground-fault protection of equipment
Provide ground-fault protection of equipment
(GFPE) when a temporary construction power feeder
is supplied from a bus where all feeders have GFPE.
This provides selectivity in the event of an arcing
ground fault on the construction feeder. Coordinate
the ground-fault relay (GFR) with the main GFPE
protecting the bus.
When a temporary construction power feeder is sup-
plied from a bus in a health care facility equipped
with GFPE, the temporary construction power feeder
must have GFPE set to coordinate with the main
GFPE protecting the bus in accordance with NEC
517.17(B) and 517.17(C). Performance test the con-
struction feeder GFPE device as required by NEC
517.17(D).
5.2.4 Selective Coordination
When temporary power is sullied from an essential
system in a health care facility, the overcurrent
devices for the temporary system must be selectively
coordinated with all upstream overcurrent devices.
5.3 Supply From Another Building
When planning to supply temporary construction
power from another building that is either not
owned by the owner of the construction project, or
that requires the temporary service to cross a public
thoroughfare, do the following:
(a) Obtain permission from the serving utility.
(b) Obtain permission from the local authority
having jurisdiction (AHJ), if required.
(c) Verify that the other buildings distribution sys-
tem has sufficient spare electrical capacity, as
described in 5.2.2.
(d) Provide coordinated GFPE in accordance with
5.2.4, where applicable.
5.4 On-Site Generation
Size and install any fixed or vehicle-mounted motor-
generator sets in accordance with NECA/EGSA 404
and supplier/manufacturer recommendations.
Portable generator use is beyond the scope of this
installation standard.
5.5 Multiple Power Sources
Where multiple power sources are used to provide
temporary construction power, never interconnect
these sources unless the temporary power system is
designed to be supplied by multiple interconnected
power sources. If multiple power sources are intend-
ed to be interconnected and operated in parallel,
ensure that all sources are synchronized and all safety
precautions followed before interconnecting sources.
Article 705 of the NEC provides the requirements for
interconnected electric power production sources.
NECA 200 Standard for Installing and Maintaining Temporary Electric Power at Construction Sites
I 8
6.1 System Layout
The temporary construction power distribution sys-
tem should be of radial (star) design unless reliabili-
ty concerns dictate that it be primary selective, sec-
ondary selective, spot network, loop, or some other
arrangement.
6.2 Temporary Service Equipment
6.2.1 Location
Locate and install temporary service equipment in
accordance with the NEC and any requirements of
the serving utility.
6.2.2 Transfer to permanent service
As soon as the buildings permanent service is
installed, energized, tested, and accepted, transfer
electric service from the temporary service equip-
ment to the permanent service equipment.
Immediately after cutover, deenergize and remove the
temporary service equipment and conductors.
6.3 Temporary Downstream Distribution
Equipment
6.3.1 Location
Locate temporary downstream distribution equipment
at points of concentrated load where the equipment is
separated by distance (e.g., different buildings), physi-
cal barriers (e.g., building floors), or for convenience.
Install the temporary downstream distribution equip-
ment so that it is readily accessible and ensure that
proper working space is maintained around it.
6.3.2 Local disconnecting means
Provide a readily accessible disconnecting means for
temporary downstream distribution equipment that
simultaneously disconnects all ungrounded feeder
conductors. This local disconnecting means should
be either integral to the temporary distribution
equipment or adjacent to the equipment.
6.3.3 Transfer to permanent system
As soon as the buildings permanent power distribu-
tion system is installed, tested, accepted, and ener-
gized in an area served by the temporary distribution
system, immediately deenergize and remove the tem-
porary construction power system in accordance
with Section 13.2.
6.4 Coordinate With Construction Plan
Coordinate the installation of temporary down-
stream distribution equipment with the construction
plan.
6.5 Voltage Drop Considerations
Lay out the temporary construction distribution sys-
tem to minimize voltage drop. Size feeders and
branch circuits so that the maximum calculated volt-
age drop on either does not exceed three (3) percent
and the total voltage drop of both does not exceed
five (5) percent between the service and outlet, in
accordance with NEC recommendations.
These recommended voltage drop percentages are for
steady-state operation and do not address transient
conditions such as motor starting. Where large
motors will be powered from the temporary con-
struction distribution system, perform a study to
determine the impact of motor inrush on the distrib-
ution system voltage and the ability of motors to
start properly.
6. Temporary Construction
Power System

6.6 Sufficient Number of Outlets
Locate temporary construction receptacle outlets to
keep the length of flexible cords required for portable
tools and task lighting to a reasonable length. This
minimizes congestion on construction sites, reduces
tripping hazards, minimizes voltage drop, and
reduces nuisance tripping of ground-fault circuit-
interrupter protection devices.
6.7 Accessibility and Protection of
Outlets
Temporary construction receptacle outlets must be
accessible. Outlets should be reasonably protected
from damage by location, guards, height, or other
means.

ronment in accordance with NEC-2008 110.20, NEC-
2011 10.28.
8.1.2 Protection from the elements
When possible, locate temporary construction power
equipment where it will be protected from the ele-
ments. If equipment must be installed outdoors in an
unprotected area, install equipment that is suitable for
the location and install protective covers or canopies
over distribution equipment to minimize solar heat-
ing, exposure to water, and snow/ice accumulation.
If the operating temperature of the distribution
equipment exceeds its nameplate rating, derate or
modify the equipment in accordance with the manu-
facturers recommendations for the higher operating
temperature.
8.1.3 Physical barriers and fencing
Provide physical barriers and fencing around electri-
cal equipment where required for damage protection
and/or to restrict access.
8.2 Hazardous (Classified) Locations
When possible, avoid installing temporary construc-
tion power equipment in hazardous (classified) loca-
tions. If the temporary power system must pass
through or serve equipment in hazardous (classified)
locations, install it in accordance with NEC Articles
500 through 516.
8.3 Equipment Support
Securely support distribution equipment to existing
structures or construct a rigid free-standing support
for the equipment. Mount distribution equipment
so that it is level and plumb.
8.4 Equipment Accessibility and
Working Space
Working space around temporary construction
power distribution equipment should be level and
clear of obstructions. To ensure that the equipment
remains readily accessible and sufficient working
space is maintained throughout the period of con-
struction, post appropriate signage and conduct reg-
ular inspections.
8.5 Equipment Illumination
Provide temporary lighting around all distribution
equipment when other lighting is not available, or is
insufficient to light the area around the equipment.
8.6 Equipment Marking and Labeling
Mark or label all switchboards and panelboards as
designated on the temporary power distribution sys-
tem one-line diagram. Mark or label all switches,
disconnects, circuit breakers, and other control
devices with the purpose, circuit, or equipment
served. A completed directory located at the panel-
board is sufficient for panelboard circuit breakers.
