This is a three-part interactive course. Part 1 of this course provides an overview of many of the changes in the 2021 edition of NFPA 70E. Some of the notable changes include a reorganization of Article 110, new allowance for training, clarifications on who can use test equipment, lockout and tagout revisions, new tasks in the arc flash risk assessment, clarifications to the PPE requirements, new provisions for capacitors, and a lot of updated material in the annexes -- new calculations in IEEE-1584, and even a new annex for working with capacitors.
For each renewal, an electrical apprentice, electrical sign apprentice, journeyman electrician, master electrician, journeyman sign electrician, master sign electrician, residential wireman, journeyman lineman or maintenance electrician must complete four hours of continuing education. One of those hours must contain training on state law and rules that regulate the conduct of licensees. Part two of this course will fulfill that requirement.
The final portion of this course is designed to give you an overview of Article 690 Solar Photovoltaic Systems, and Article 705. For Article 690, the notable changes in the 2020 Code cycle, are:
• Refinement of the definition section.
• Reorganization of 690.9 on overcurrent protection.
• Refinement of Article 690.12, which deals with rapid shutdown. Clarification of system disconnecting
means.
• Reorganization of wiring methods for clarification.
• Changes in sizing of grounding conductors and alterations in the marketing requirements.
In Article 705, we'll be talking about the reorganization and removal of duplicative language. New
