Description

Objective:

The course objective is to prepare students for completion of the Code Advanced Bundle. This bundle is a combination of the following courses: Code, Standards, and Practices 6, Code, Standards, and Practices 7, Electrical Code Calculations, Level II, and Electrical Code Calculations, Level III.

Learning Outcomes:

  • analyze the Interrupting Rating: Fully Rated and Series Rated Systems
  • identify motor branch-circuit devices and protection
  • list OCPD application requirements and considerations
  • explore the difference between Transformer Protection and Component Protection
  • demonstrate selective coordination
  • explain complex topics of Code Calculations in greater detail, such as cable trays and electrical welders
  • identify motor branch-circuit devices and protection
  • list overcurrent protection device application requirements and considerations
  • explore the difference between transformer protection and component protection
  • demonstrate selective coordination
  • explain complex topics of code calculations in great detail, such as cable trays and electrical welders
  • identify the components, configurations, and key standards associated with WMCT
  • identify the applicable NEC grounding and bonding requirements
  • demonstrate how to properly size WMCT
  • locate the applicable NEC requirements that apply to surface nonmetallic raceway installations
  • identify the uses permitted and the uses not permitted for surface nonmetallic raceways
  • identify the various practical field applications for floor wiring and the products available for these applications in wood floors and concrete floors, both pre-pour and post-pour
  • identify the uses permitted and the uses not permitted for multioutlet assemblies
  • locate the requirements for installing solar electrical equipment in the eight parts of Article 690
  • perform basic branch-circuit voltage drop calculations using common circuit parameters and values of Chapter 9, Table 8
  • perform calculations based upon the voltage drop equation when the wire size, ampacity, or length of a circuit is unknown
  • calculate cable tray fills for multiconductor cables in various types of cable trays
  • calculate the ampacity of supply conductors for individual welders of various types.
