The objective is to allow those who desire training to select material that is most applicable to their own operations or membership. Not all of the proposed NEC Content can be covered in 16 hours, however All NEC Content will be selected by the prospective client from the following areas: Article 110 - General Requirements and Working Space - Requirements for approval, interrupting ratings, short-circuit current ratings, information and warning signage, workmanship and protection of installations, and the requirements for working space and dedicated space around and for electrical equipment. Article 220 - Load Calculations - This will include an overview of the methods of determining loads for all types of power distribution circuits, including references to other articles of the NEC. The focus will be on Parts I, II, and III and on Section 220.87 for calculations of existing loads for addition of new loads. Article 240 - Overcurrent Protection and Tap Rules - This will focus on the general and specific requirements of 240.4 and 240.21 but sill include references to related requirements and definitions such as Sections 240.5, 400.5, 240.15, 210.3, and 210.4. Article 215 - Feeders - This will include a review of the entire article, with comparisons to requirements for branch circuits and service conductors as found in Articles 210 and 230. A significant clarification in the intended application of requirements for continuous loads that was added for the 2014 NEC will be covered. Article 225 - Outside Branch Circuits and Feeders - This will cover the special requirements that apply to circuits run outside of buildings, with comparisons to similar requirements for service conductors in Article 230, including the requirements for disconnecting means. Article 250 - Grounding and Bonding - This will cover the performance requirements for grounding of systems and equipment and will focus on the specific requirements that apply to separately derived systems, especially transformers.
