2017 NEC Significant Code Changes Part 1: 4 PDH

$24.00

Part 1 of a multiple part series, this four (4) hour course covers and highlights some of the significant changes and updates in the 2017 Edition of NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) which was recently updated from the 2014 Edition of NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC). The student will progress through each section of the NEC from the introduction up to and including article 300. The student will be identifying chapters, articles, and tables of where and what significant changes occurred (be it an addition, revision, or deleting), the student will review the 2017 version of the updated text, and understand the reason for the change with an explanatory brief.
Instructor: Juan Pesante, PE

  • Exterior Electrical Power Distribution: 4 PDH

     $24.00 Add to cart
    This course provides an introduction to exterior electrical power distribution systems for buildings and related infrastructure. The information provided here can be utilized by electrical engineers in the development of the plans, specifications, and calculations, and can serve as the minimum electrical design requirements. It is applicable to the traditional electrical services customary for Design-Bid-Build construction contracts and for Design-Build construction contracts. Project conditions may dictate the need for a design that exceeds these minimum requirements. The design criteria and standards contained within are the minimum requirements acceptable for installations for efficiency, economy, durability, maintainability, and reliability of electrical power supply and distribution systems. The criteria and standards herein are not intended to be retroactively mandatory.Instructor: Juan Pesante, PE
