5 requirements of NFPA 70B

NFPA 70E, safety is reliant on properly maintained overcurrent protective devices and electrical equipment. Improperly maintained equipment has a higher chance of failure, increasing incident energy, which could increase the risk of damaging property or jeopardizing electrical workers.

1. Maintenance intervals are a primary focus
2. Equipment condition assessment is key
3. Electrical maintenance programs are defined
4. Preventive maintenance procedures provided in NFPA 70B
5. System study intervals are now defined
