This 4-hour online training explores important 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) updates affecting Chapters 2 through 4.
Participants will review revised standards tied to system protection, cable support methods, and equipment installations commonly encountered in residential and commercial projects.
Topics covered include:
- Service and feeder disconnecting means, equipment barriers, and enclosure placement standards
- Overcurrent protection methods and grounding practices for systems operating above 1000 volts
- Wiring method applications involving physical damage protection, cable routing, and underground installations
- Raceway installations, temperature exposure considerations, and environmental air-space applications
- Conductor construction, identification methods, sunlight resistance, and ampacity table calculations
- NM cable, tray cable, rigid conduit, flexible conduit, and PVC installation practices
- Wiring devices, fixture wires, mounting methods, and GFCI-protected replacement devices
Students leave prepared to apply the latest NEC standards safely and accurately across a variety of jobsite conditions.
