This 4-hour program is formatted in 3 lessons. Each lesson has a test which must be passed with a minimum score of 70% and a survey which must be completed before proceeding to the next lesson. The lessons are listed below:
2017 NEC Changes: A New Process and Five New Articles (RV-11104)
2017 NEC Changes: General Requirements (RV-11105)
2017 NEC Changes: Branch Circuit, Feeder and Services (RV-11106)
Lesson 1: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) used a new process for considering changes to the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC revision process will be briefly discussed. Additionally, the 2017 NEC will have five new articles covering Fixed Resistance and Electrode Industrial Process Heating Equipment, Large-Scale Photovoltaic (PV) Electric Supply Stations, Energy Storage Systems, Stand-Alone Systems, and Direct Current Microgrids.
Lesson 2: The second lesson covers Chapter 1 of the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC)and contains definitions and general requirements for electrical installations. Several definitions were added, revised or relocated in the 2017 NEC. New and revised requirements for equipment installation, labeling, certification and working space will also be discussed.
Lesson 3: In the last lesson chapter 2 is discussed. Chapter 2 of the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC) contains requirements for wiring of grounded conductors, branch, feeder and service conductors. Several changes were made for branch circuit conductors, feeder conductors and service conductors in Articles 210, 215, and 230, and, as always, they are some of the biggest in the entire Code. This interactive, online course covers changes that include new and revised rules for GFCI and AFCI protection, dwelling unit circuiting and receptacles outlet revisions, fixing the electric service receptacle rule, adding required lighting, adding receptacles in commercia
