NESC K-Factor
NESC K-Factor
(OP)
I received some correspondence that makes reference to a K-Factor in IEEE C2 (National Electrical Safety Code). I can't find that term in the code however I suspect it's an old term that still remains in the utility industry.
Does anyone know the definition for the term 'K-Factor'?
Thanks!

As far as I know, it is not referenced in the NESC. There is a kz in 250C1, velocity pressure exposure coefficient.

I'm with jghrist - I don't recall any k-factors in the NESC, but I didn't do a search.

A review of old editions of the code found that none of them called this constant a k factor.
Never heard of a "factor" that was added to a result, and contained units. Most factors I know of are multiplied and are unitless.
