CODE & LAW UPDATE CLASS
2023 NEC

Understanding the NEC Arrangement
-How proposals are handled
-The purpose and use of public comments
-Using the technical committee reports and technical
committee documentation to understand the codemaking process

Requirements for Electrical Installations
-Electrical connections
-Working clearances, dimensions, head room, entrances
to working spaces, exceptions
-Circuit impedance and other characteristics
-Interrupting rating requirements for protective devices
and other equipment
-Identification of services, branch-circuits, and feeders

Branch-Circuit Analysis
-New rules on ground-fault circuit interrupters
-Auto transformers for branch-circuits in industrial
occupancies
-Revised rules on receptacle outlet locations
Service and Feeder Applications
-Multi-building complexes
-Disconnect requirements
-Ground-fault protection for services and feeders
-How to size service and feeder components
-Requirements for systems that exceed 600 volts

Overcurrent Protection
-How to size O/C protection for conductors
-Tap rules — 10, 25, motor, transformer, and 100 foot
-How to protect conductors and equipment from
damage associated with short-circuits, ground-faults,
and overcurrent
-Calculating fault currents point-to-point from the source
to the load

Grounding and Bonding
-The proper grounding of DC and AC systems
-Grounding of separately derives systems
-Objectionable currents over grounding conductors
-How to provide an effective grounding path for fault
clearing purposes
-Equipment grounding provisions
-How to size grounding and bonding conductors with
proper withstanding ratings
-Reducing voltage drop in grounding conductors
-Grounding non-electric equipment
-Special requirements for systems for 600 volts
-The grounding electrode system — the purpose and
function of this system
