EAP 4040 - Wiring & Protection II



Clock Hours: 15

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Prerequisites: EAP 2050 - Wiring & Protection I  

Course Description:
Review of requirements for electrical installations as per Article 110; Article 200 grounded (neutral) conductors; Article 210 wiring & protection for branch circuits; GFCI requirements in dwelling occupancies; AFCI protection in dwelling occupancies; wall space and general use receptacle outlets; and countertop space and small appliance branch circuits.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, the learner will:

  • Understand how to determine the proper working depth utilizing table 110.26(A)(1) for given voltages and conditions
  • Be able to state the required working width and height for given equipment sizes
  • Understand how to layout electrical equipment with proper clearances along with adequate entrance/egress
  • Be able to explain the requirements for foreign systems in dedicated electrical spaces
  • Be able to list acceptable methods of identification for grounded conductors for given size conductors
  • Be able to identify grounded (neutral) conductor terminals
  • Identify the components of branch circuits
  • Reference the branch-circuit rating with respect to installed equipment
  • Explain the NEC requirements for multiwire branch circuits
  • Explain and reference GFCI requirements as covered by the NEC
  • List all outlets and equipment, in dwelling occupancies, that require GFCI protection as covered by the NEC
  • Explain and reference AFCI requirements as covered by the NEC
  • List all outlets and equipment, in dwelling occupancies, that require AFCI protection as covered by the NEC
  • Select the proper OCPD for branch circuits based on intended use as required by the NEC
  • Select the appropriate outlet device ratings for circuit installation as required by the NEC
  • Iterate requirements for cord-and-plug connected loads
  • Explain the constitution of “wall space” according to the location of “general use” receptacle outlets within dwelling occupancies
  • Explain the constitution of “countertop space” according to the NEC, as it pertains to the location of receptacles served by small appliance branch circuits
  • Iterate branch circuits permitted to serve the required outlets of 210.52(D) through 210.52(H) and iterate specific requirements of these outlets
  • Iterate how locations of outlets may be deviated from the requirements normally imposed for these occupancy types
