The installation of electrical service is one of the most common and basic jobs performed by Alaska electricians. Use the principles of NEC-2023 to safely install sufficient services in buildings of all kinds across the state. This four-credit course is approved by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
Course content is organized to highlight how the codes of the NEC work together to create a safe, efficient standard for electrical installation. As a bonus, each code is presented with the “cut-and-paste” method to highlight changes from NEC-2020 to NEC-2023. See what changed and what hasn’t with a glance as you familiarize yourself with new code updates in the 2023 edition.
To help you apply what you know, the course concludes with a set of practical problems. Each one is pulled from a real-world situation to demonstrate how adhering to NEC standards helps you properly install electrical service.
At the completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Navigate the numerous codes that govern service installation.
- Utilize relevant codes on overhead service conductors.
- Select and install appropriate service-entrance conductors.
- Follow best practices regarding service equipment rating.
- Apply best practices to service disconnecting means.
- Incorporate best practices for service overcurrent protection.
- Apply the codes covered in this course to real-world problems in locating, rating, selection, disconnects, multiple services, panels, identification and GFPE.
