  • Abstract
    The National Electrical Code (NEC) has a new section that was added in 2008: Article 708 - Critical Operations Power Systems (COPs). Although NEC applies only to the United States, the methodology of evaluating risk and performing analysis applies to any type of of critical facility. This article provides an overview of the requirements listed in Article 708 and presents some existing technologies that can be used to fulfill the specific requirements listed in the section on risk management.
