Polaris Connectors: Stay Code Compliant
What is NEC Code 230.46?
Effective January 1st 2023, this updated code requires that connectors used for splicing or tapping service conductors on line side of service equipment be UL-Listed with an additional marking for this installation. Connectors marked “Suitable for Line Side of Service” have also been tested to meet ANSI C119.4, C119.5 or C119.6 as applicable.
This requirement ensures that connectors used on line side of service equipment (where electrical service enters the building) are safe and reliable. Connectors that are not UL Listed have not been tested to the UL safety requirement and may not perform as expected.
