During a medical procedure a patient may have a limited ability to react to an electric shock or may be completely unconscious. This risk is addressed in section 517.13 of the NEC which lays out the EGC requirements for patient care spaces in health care facilities. To ensure that the patient is protected, the branch-circuit wiring method must consist of a two-part effective ground-fault current path that is unique to patient care spaces. Join Mike and the team on the video as they discuss the requirements of 517.13 in the NEC.
