Short-Circuit Currents and Calculations – 2008 NEC®             2 Classroom Hours

This 2-hour code education overview provides insight into the proper selection of equipment to maintain compliance with Section 110.9 of the NEC®. When equipment is improperly selected, catastrophic failure during a fault, potentially leading to injury or death is possible. This online course explores the terminology, practice and relevant code sections which govern the proper selection of electrical equipment to operate without incident during fault conditions. Proper selection of equipment requires understanding and calculating available fault current. Both are explored in this interactive, continuing education training session. This training utilizes the published coursework “2008 NEC® Electrical Calculations”, published by C&M Enterprises (sold separately). While NEC® codebooks (always recommended) may be helpful, this course is designed to provide all the necessary information to explain, comprehend and complete the calculations without additional materials. The coursework contains additional calculation procedures commonly encountered in the electrical construction industry, and provides complete detailed description of the various calculations and has proven to be valuable reference for future calculations or review. This course is designed for master and journeyman electricians who need continuing education credit for license renewal, design professionals, and building inspectors with a need-to-know regarding the basic calculation processes required for NEC® compliance.
