Question
Which of the following is covered by the National Electrical Code?
Answer Options
- A) Acceptable bandwidth limits
- B) Acceptable modulation limits
- C) Electrical safety of the station
- D) RF exposure limits of the human body
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the United States standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment. It governs how electrical systems, including those that power amateur radio stations, must be installed to prevent fire and shock hazards.
Therefore, the NEC covers the Electrical safety of the station, including proper wiring, grounding, fusing, and surge protection. It does not cover radio-specific issues like acceptable bandwidth, modulation limits, or RF exposure limits, which are governed by the FCC. (Local administrations may have additional requirements beyond those included in NEC.)
