Next up we will explain Articles 100 and 110, which explain definitions used in the code and the different requirements for electrical installations, such as how to list (Product Certification) of Equipment, and arc-flash hazard warnings.
In Chapter 2: Wiring and Protection we will go over new code sections including updates to overcurrent protection, and dwelling unit receptacle outlets for basements, garages, and accessory buildings, and feeders with certain exceptions.
