Electrical safety in the home isn’t just about best practices—it’s also guided by the National Electrical Code® (NEC®). Updated every three years, the NEC helps establish minimum safety standards designed to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire.
Eaton supports these standards with resources that help homeowners and professionals better understand what today’s codes mean for everyday living.
The 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code continues to strengthen protections in residential spaces—addressing areas like ground‑fault protection, arc‑fault protection, and expanded safety requirements in kitchens, bathrooms, and other living areas. Our overview breaks down key updates and explains how code requirements help improve electrical safety in today’s homes.
Arc‑fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) and ground‑fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) play a critical role in helping reduce the risk of electrical fires and shock. NEC® requirements continue to expand where these protections are needed in the home—making it important to understand what’s required, where, and why.
Kitchens are one of the most high‑risk areas in the home when it comes to electrical hazards due to the combination of electricity, water, and frequent appliance use. This easy‑to‑read infographic highlights common risks and the NEC®‑driven protections designed to help reduce them.
