Abstract :
In Alberta, Canada, the authority having jurisdiction, or the regulator, has allowed qualified users the flexibility to adapt or combine elements from the CEC, NEC, and IEC into a single operating system to take advantage of the best in global technologies. This has resulted in a unique blended system that combines the best of the traditional North American and international approaches and provides cost savings over traditional electrical installations. This article discusses some of the elements used to develop this hybrid approach in terms of global technology equipment designs and wiring practices.
