Line 1:
An '''electrical code''' is a set of regulations for [[electrical wiring]]. The intention of an electrical code is to provide standards to ensure electrical wiring systems that are safe and unlikely to produce either [[electric shock]] or [[Conflagration|fires]]. Ways in which electrical codes ensure safety include ways to prevent (or mitigate) [[short circuit]]s, ground faults, and overheating from inadequate [[Electric current|current]]-carrying capacity ([[ampacity]]). Electrical codes are usually devised by national or international technical organizations, and adopted as law to make them enforceable. Electrical codes differ based on geographic area. See the following:
* [[DIN VDE]] ([[German Institute for Standardization]]) published by [[DIN]]-Norms is used in Germany
