Live Course: National Electrical Code & 2023 Update
Course description
This course covers key articles of the NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, and an update of 2023 changes. It 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 class exercises for knowledge reinforcement purposes.
The main focus of this course is low voltage (0 to 1000V). The major updates in the 2023 revision of the code will be covered. 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.

In just one 8-hour day on the ODU campus or via Zoom, you will learn how to navigate through National Electric Code. You will get a deeper look at key NEC articles that govern electrical equipment installations, take a “tour” of the 2023 NEC, and get familiarized with significant updates. You will learn how to perform calculations required in the application of key articles of the National Electric Code. Additionally, you will understand the difference between three-phase AC, “Y” and “∆ - Delta” configuration of loads and sources and know the significance of these configurations from practical power distribution and application perspective.
Participants are kept engaged through questions and answers, discussions, and classwork. Board acceptance guarantee.
