This online learning program covers important 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) updates introduced in Chapters 1 and 2, including revised definitions, load calculations, equipment standards, and fault-protection provisions.
Participants will explore how the latest revisions influence installation practices, system safety, and code interpretation in both residential and non-dwelling occupancies.
Topics include:
- NEC Article 90 organization, Article 100 terminology, and revised scope provisions
- Equipment marking, available fault current labeling, and arc-flash warning practices
- Working space clearances, guarding methods, and servicing provisions for higher-voltage equipment
- Branch-circuit, feeder, and service load calculations for dwelling units and EVSE applications
- Energy management systems, conductor identification, and remote-control signaling circuits
- GFCI, SPGFCI, and AFCI protection standards, including expanded applications and exceptions
- Receptacle placement, lighting outlet locations, and multi-outlet branch-circuit provisions
The training equips students with the knowledge needed to apply current NEC standards safely and accurately in the field.
