If there are no plans for the job, then it's left up to you. Can you hear me now? How many services are allowed on a single building? What is the minimum size service main allowed?

Are you having difficulty reading or finding articles and code sections in the NEC? How many times have you looked for a code section and couldn't for the life of you find it? When was the last time you were turned down on an inspection and you know the Inspector was totally wrong and you didn't know where to look in the code to prove it? How much is it costing you not to know? Can the Authority Having Jurisdiction make you install anything their way because of 90-4? How much authority do inspectors have? Are there any City or County Ordinances? What is the Georgia State Code? You will be surprised at the answers. How many code questions do you have on your mind? Is there a section in the code you can't find or want to find? Here are a few questions asked of me and others time after time. Is BX approved anymore? How many ground rods are required around a pool? On a suspended ceiling, are the supporting wires you use to secure raceways allowed to extend from the structure to the ceiling grid? Can you use MC cable on an isolated receptacle? Can you put a service in the middle of a building without a main outside? You ask it and I'll find the answer for you. Try it, you'll like it.

TOP CODE QUESTIONS 
AT
ATLANTA TECH
NEC UPDATE () (WEDNESDAY) ,2008
What about those code questions you have a hard time with. It's always in the back of your head and you just want to know the right answer. I will have at least 25 code sections that quit a few contractors have a problem with. The other inspector said I had to do it this way, and I'm no sure if he is right. I hate those bubble covers. Do I have to install them? How many screws are required in a lay-in fixture? When are stickers required on receptacles with GFCI protection? Why are two ground rods required now? Is it possible where ground rods are not required? Can I put a 170 amp overcurrent on a #14 AWG conductor? Are you sure all 125 volt single phase circuits that are cord and plug shall be GFCI protected? Does the manufacture of panelboards can allow more than 42 circuits in an enclosure? More, more, more. What's on your mind?
GUYS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU, THIS CLASS WILL KEEP YOU GOING. I THOUGHT WHEN I GAVE THIS CLASS, I WOULD RUN OUT OF QUESTIONS. WRONG! WE HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PASS 12 QUESTIONS. DEBATE AFTER DEBATE. TALK ABOUT KEEPING THE CLASS ALIVE.
