Key Technical Updates Covered in the 2024 CE Code
The latest Canadian Electrical Code Part I introduces important revisions that strengthen installation practices and improve overall system safety. Several rules were revised to clarify bonding requirements, conductor sizing, and protection provisions for both permanent and temporary installations, ensuring that the safety standard is consistently applied across all facility types.
Participants will review significant changes to Section 18, which addresses energy storage and renewable energy systems, including updated rules for battery technologies, inverter connections, and rapid shutdown requirements. Updates to Section 36 refine high-voltage installation practices, including new guidance on high-voltage couplers, grounding methods, and equipment spacing. The course also examines modifications in Section 66, especially those affecting portable structures, mobile equipment, and field-assembled distribution units.
New and emerging technologies receive notable attention in this edition, including requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment, improved protection rules for ground-fault circuit interrupter applications, and revised allowances for metallic-jacketed cable in specific occupancies. Learners will also study the changes in Table 38, which adjusts conductor selection criteria and ampacity considerations for various wiring methods.
Together, these updates reflect a more comprehensive, modern approach to electrical system safety, helping professionals confidently apply the code in industrial, commercial, and residential environments.
