What are the two main hazards that CEC is designed?

Electric shock

CEC is designed to protect against electric shock by ensuring that all exposed metal parts of electrical equipment are properly grounded. This means that if a person comes into contact with an energized part of the equipment, the current will flow through the ground wire and back to the power source, rather than through the person.

Arc flash

CEC is also designed to protect against arc flash, which is a sudden and intense burst of heat and light that can occur when an electrical arc is created. Arc flash can cause serious injuries, including burns, blindness, and even death. CEC helps to prevent arc flash by requiring the use of arc-resistant equipment and by specifying safe work practices for electrical work.
