This online program highlights the updated provisions in Chapters 4 through 6 of the 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) that influence equipment selection, installation methods, and system coordination across residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
Students will learn about new and revised regulations pertaining to:
- Wiring devices, dimmers, panelboards, switchgear, and industrial control panels
- Appliances, HVAC systems, generators, batteries, and snow-melting equipment
- Motor installations, conductor sizing methods, and grounding practices
- Hazardous locations, cannabis oil operations, fuel-dispensing facilities, and health care environments
- Recreational vehicles, marinas, floating structures, and grounding monitor interrupters
- Signs, cranes, elevators, manufactured wiring systems, and EV power transfer equipment
After completing the training, participants will understand how to apply updated NEC standards safely and accurately in modern installations.
