For all states where the NEC is in effect, this course explains how the NEC can be applied to residential use in existing dwellings for protection from electrical safety hazards ‒ arc faults and ground faults, and from surges which can damage electronics equipment.
Four protection methods are presented: grounding, surge protection, GFCI, and AFCI. For each method, the NEC edition/article reference is provided as it is applicable by state. Design specification/drawing examples are presented for grounding, surge protection, and GFCI. More details about AFCIs are presented in the second part of the course.
