Learn the latest electrical installation requirements for industrial and commercial applications with this four-hour course. 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) changes are highlighted in each lesson.

North Carolina electricians who finish this course will be able to:

  • Define “Accessible” as it relates to equipment.
  • Explain why an equipment’s terminal temperature rating is used to select the conductor ampacity.
  • Identify the minimum value required for the interrupting rating of a circuit breaker.
  • List the qualities that testing agencies check when examining electrical equipment.
  • Describe when a feeder disconnect requires ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.
  • List examples of continuous and non-continuous loads.
  • Calculate the minimum ampacity required of a feeder tap.
  • Describe the purpose of an effective ground-fault current path.
  • Describe the level of detail required for circuit identification.
