Agenda
An Introduction to the 2008 NEC:
- Examining the Code's purpose and scope. Exact intent vs. interpretations. Definitions. Mandatory rules. Execution of work. Requirements for electrical installations. Safe working spaces. Clarification for whom the Code applies. New illumination requirements. Markings and identifiers.
How to Recognize and Use Grounded Conductors:
- Classifications. Branch circuits. Voltage limitations. Receptacles and connectors. Outlet requirements.
Determining Branch Circuits and Making Calculations:
- Requirements for building wire. Selecting voltages. Computing loads. Feeder demand factors. Temperature imitations.
Ground Fault Requirements:
- Replacement of non-grounded receptacles.
Services, Sizing, and Installations:
- Calculating service requirements. Rules and exceptions. Protecting services against damage. Wiring methods. Disconnects. Overloads.
Over-Current Protection:
- Safeguarding conductors and equipment. Circuits 600 volts and less. High voltage circuits. Continuous load characteristics.
Grounding & Bonding Electrical Installations:
- Understanding the requirements. Types and sizes of conductors and electrodes. Methods of grounding and bonding. (Changes in Article 250)
Selecting the Proper Wiring & Materials:
- Basic rules for corrosion protection. Spread of fore products of combustion. Electrical equipment: how to determine sizes and ratings. Adding wiring methods. New restrictions.
Choosing Conductors for General Wiring:
- Temperature correction factors. De-rating factors. New exceptions for parallel conductors.
Branch Circuits for Appliances:
- Choosing conductor sizes. Rating circuits. Overcurrent protection. Proper grounding procedures.
Wiring for Special Situations:
- Air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Wiring in hazardous places. Wiring special equipment.
Motors and Motor Circuits:
- What does the data on the name plate mean? How to select the right wire size. Fuse-breaker sizes. Connecting multiple motors on one branch circuit. Feeder for two or more motors. Requirements of a Design E motor (rewritten sections and tables)
Transformers:
- When to place an overcurrent device in the primary, secondary, or both primary and secondary winding of a transformer. Computing the size of an overcurrent device for a transformer.
