PEC 2017
The 2017 Edition of PEC part 1 2017 was prepared by the PEC1 committee
under the auspices of the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers of the
Philippines, Inc. (IIEE).
…It embodies the continuing effort of the committee to integrate the
experiences gained in the practice of Electrical Engineering with
the provision for the safety for life and property espoused by the code.

• PEC 2017 was a Harmonized Code.

• PEC 2017 committee used NEC 2014 but later adopted the NEC2017 and
International Electro technical Commission (IEC) as a reference.
• The rules and regulations of the PEC are laid out by Chapters, Articles, Parts and
Section, which contain the requirement for design, installation, use and
maintenance of electrical System.

• The Philippine Electrical Code is used nationally as the basis for safeguarding
persons, buildings and its contents from hazards that may arise from the use of
electricity.
• The Code contains provisions which are considered necessary for safety and
thus is used as basis for legal enforcement in the installation of electrical system
