Introduction to National Electrical Code and 2023 Update

Course overview

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation covers key articles of the NFPA 70, aka, The National Electrical Code, and an update of 2023 changes. This course is designed so that even non-electrical engineers and non-electricians can learn the basic tenets of the NEC. Upon attending this course, participants will be able to identify codes pertaining to various electrical equipment installations. Participants will learn the methodology associated with analyzing and interpreting key articles in the National Electrical Code. Some key calculations related to the application of the code will be illustrated, followed by exercises for knowledge reinforcement purposes. The main focus of this course is low voltage (0 to 1000 V). The major updates in the 2023 revision of the code will be covered. In order to enhance the participants' understanding of the line current differences between three-phase AC, "Y" and "Delta" configurations - in the selection and application of protective devices - methods for calculating three-phase AC currents in "Y" and "Delta" loads will be covered.
