A closer look at the 25 most important revisions in the 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code

The National Electrical Code (NEC) updates every three years, and it's essential for electrical professionals to stay on top of the changes in each Code cycle. That's why EC&M  has teamed up with longstanding NEC Consultant Mike Holt to update our readers on the key changes made during the latest Code cycle. In order to make these comprehensive changes manageable and easier to digest, we've created this gallery, which summarizes the most important revisions to the 2023 NEC that affect the largest number of our readers. Scroll through the photo gallery for short summaries of each change. And look for the full comprehensive article with analysis and commentary on each change in our November print issue and online in late November.
