Revisions for the 2005 National Electrical Code
Patrick Ouillette, P.E.
Overview
This course is intended to familiarize the reader with the
major changes contained in the 2005 National Electrical Code.® It is
suitable for anyone exposed to the NEC® at any level. The course
addresses Code revisions that apply to all types of occupancies: residential,
commercial, and industrial.
Through the headings at the beginning of each Code change
addressed in the course, the reader will readily identify the section affected
by the change and the specific subject being discussed. Also, the reader will
note whether the change is a revision, an added section, an editorial change for
clarity, etc. A summary of the particular Code change follows, with explanation
where necessary to help the student understand the revision, its background, and
the logic of the change. Graphics, photographs, examples, or calculations are
used to illustrate the change and to enhance learning.
Although there are many references to the 2005 NEC®
throughout this document, the course and quiz can be completed without the need
to refer to the NEC® itself. For further study on any Code section
within this course the 2005 NEC® should be consulted.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of
forty (40) questions at the end of
this course to obtain PDH credits.
