National Electrical Codes Training Course
Introduction:
This training course, based on the 2005 NEC®, is designed to thoroughly examine and clarify the key articles of the National Electrical Code® that are often misunderstood or frequently utilized. The course primarily focuses on industrial applications. The main objective of this course is to provide participants with the opportunity to strengthen their practical understanding of the NEC® in terms of comprehension and adherence to its regulations.
Course Objectives:
Upon the successful completion of this course, the participants will be able to:
- Define the layout of the 2008 National Electrical Code, the relationship between the National Electrical Code and the National Electrical Safety Code and distinguish between NEC and OSHA examination, installation, and use requirements.
- Enumerate the proper locations for electrical equipment to provide for proper working clearances and free space requirements and determine proper methods of identification for grounded conductors, grounding conductors, and multiwire branch circuits.
- Formulate installation requirements for services and define bonding and grounding requirements for services, feeders, branch circuits, and utilization equipment and selecting the proper size and location of overcurrent protection for various types of utilization equipment and identify the requirements for temporary wiring and GFCI applications.
- Recognize the acceptable wiring methods and materials including recent changes in acceptable industrial wiring methods and materials and select the proper size of raceway, fitting, and boxes including wire bending space, component sizing, and conductor identification.
Who Should Attend?
Typical participants are Electrical Engineers, Safety Engineers, Project Managers, Inspectors, Contractors, and Journeymen who must depend on effective skills and knowledge of the NEC®. Participants must bring a calculator to the course. The course outline may be modified to suit the current code.
