This course will concentrate on the specific applications of the code. These supplements are contained in chapters 5 through 8 of the NEC.

Such specific applications include:

• Special Occupancies (hazardous locations, health care facilities, places of public assembly, motion picture and television studios, mobile homes and mobile home parks, floating buildings, temporary installations, etc. ),
• Special Equipment (electric signs, office furniture wiring systems, cranes and hoists, elevators and escalators, electric vehicle charging systems, swimming pools, solar photovoltaic systems, fuel cell systems, etc.),
• Special Conditions (emergency systems, legally required standby systems, standby systems, fire alarm systems, etc.),
• Communication Systems (communication circuits, radio and television equipment, CATV, and network-powered broadband communication systems).

Exercises involving building plans will be used to help the student apply his knowledge to actual real world conditions. While the course is not an exam-prep per se, one wishing to pursue a master’s electrician’s license or a professional engineer’s license, should be better prepared upon completion of the course.
