Chapters of the NEC are subdivided into different _________ to clarify their scope.

The chapters of the National Electrical Code (NEC) are divided into articles, which help clarify the specific scope and requirements of the electrical installations and practices covered within each chapter. Each article addresses a particular aspect of electrical systems, such as wiring methods, equipment installations, or special conditions, thereby organizing the code into a structured format that aids users in locating relevant information efficiently.

The use of articles allows for clearer categorization and understanding of the code provisions, making it easier for electricians, engineers, and code enforcement officials to reference and apply the regulations appropriately. This systematic approach ensures that complex topics within electrical code can be easily navigated and comprehended, maintaining consistency and clarity throughout the code’s application.
