Abstract
Electrical hazards exist in 600 V and below electrical distribution systems. Safety criteria, protective device performance, transferred potential hazard, and National Electrical Code (NEC) voltage limits and requirements on equipment grounding practices are examined. Some recommendations on safe design are presented
