700.2 Reconditioned Equipment
Reconditioned transfer switches shall not be permitted.
In the 2023 update of the National Electrical Code (NEC), a crucial added code concerning emergency systems was made to Article 700. This update explicitly prohibits the use of reconditioned transfer switches, underscoring the NEC's commitment to ensuring the utmost reliability and safety of emergency power systems. Transfer switches are essential for transitioning power from the utility to an emergency generator during outages, and any compromise in their performance could lead to catastrophic failures. By disallowing reconditioned switches, the NEC mandates the use of new, dependable components, thereby enhancing the resilience and safety of emergency systems in critical situations. This change reflects an increased emphasis on protecting both property and lives through stringent standards in electrical installations.
