This four-credit course is approved by the California Electrical Certification Unit to teach California electricians the principles of electrical installation according to the 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code. The course highlights changes from NEC-2020 for use in home, commercial and industrial installations.
Develop a complete understanding of changes from NEC-2020 to NEC-2023 with the help of “cut-and-paste” style highlights that clearly point out all code updates. The course is organized to show you how the codes of the NEC work together to create a safe and effective standard for electrical installation.
Build practical experience with NEC standards through included exercises. These problems are pulled directly from the real world to help you apply what you’ve learned to your day-to-day responsibilities as an electrician.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Navigate the numerous codes that govern service installation.
- Apply the codes covered in this course to real-world problems in locating, rating, selection, disconnects, multiple services, panels, identification and GFPE.
- 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.
