NSI Industries has announced that it is the first company to be NEC 230.46 Compliant, with a number of Polaris UL-listed connectors adhering to this new requirement.
“Effective January 1, 2023, NEC 230.46 requires wire connectors used for splicing or tapping conductors on the line side of the service to be tested as suitable for this use,” explains Joseph Saganowich, NSI electrical division president. “NSI’s Polaris pre-insulated connectors are ideally suited for this application and our customers will be pleased to know that we’ve been actively testing sized 350-750 MCM connectors, which are now compliant with NEC requirements for connectors and devices installed on service conductors. NSI is actively working to qualify all relevant connectors to meet the new NEC 230.46 requirement.”
The current compliant 350-750 MCM Polaris connectors from NSI include series PL, PLH, IPL, IPLM, IPLMD, IPLD, IT, ISR, IPLH, IPLDH, IPLMDH, ISRH, and ITH. Follow this link for an up-to-date list of part numbers that meet NEC 230.46.
