This online training focuses on 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) revisions affecting Chapters 6 through 9 and the Annex, with emphasis on special equipment, emergency and standby systems, and installations.

Throughout the program, participants will examine code updates involving:

  • EV power transfer equipment, electrified truck parking spaces, and information technology installations
  • Swimming pools, fountains, underwater luminaires, receptacle spacing, and equipotential bonding methods
  • Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, including maximum dc voltage limits, conductor separation, and moving-array grounding practices
  • Fire pump supply conductors, generator control wiring, and selective coordination concepts
  • Emergency and standby power systems, including transfer equipment bypass, commissioning, and temporary power sources
  • Limited-energy cable systems, raceways, cable trays, and fault-managed power applications
  • Communications, antenna, and broadband systems

Guidance on hazardous location tables, calculation examples, and the proposed organization of the 2029 NEC is also provided.
