 COMING SOON: ARC-FAULT TROUBLE SHOOTING PROCEDURES THAT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND $$$$
 We are proud to now offer ground resistance testing. This test will certify the resistance (ohms) of your service to the grounding (earthing) system. Price for this service is $200.00 in the greater Albuquerque area. For testing ouside Bernalillo, Sandoval and Valencia counties please call for a quote. 505-821-9232 Greg Be sure to read page six for the added energy conservation requirements. We were able to reduce the size of this code substantially through the efforts of Ron Alley, Training Director N.N.M.I.E.C and myself. IF YOU NEED CIRCUIT BREAKERS THAT YOU CAN'T READILY FIND OR ARE QUOTED A VERY HIGH PRICE, CLICK THE LINK BELOW. I HAVE USED THIS COMPANY AND KNOW THEM TO BE VERY GOOD. GREG CLICK HERE NEED THREE GANG WET LOCATION COVER PLATES THIS SITE IS GREAT AND ALL PRODUCTS ARE UL LISTED CLICK HERE These are some of the changes that will affect your jobs and bid amount the most. There were 3,688 proposed changes for this code cycle. 200.2-(B) CONTINUITY The continuity of the grounded conductor shall not depend on a connection to a metallic enclosure, raceway, or cable armor. 210.4 (B) MUTI-WIRE BRANCH CIRCUITS Each multi-wire branch circuit shall be provided with a means that will simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors at the point where the branch circuit originates. 210.5 (c)UNGROUNDED CONDUCTORS Where a premise wiring system is supplied by more that one nominal voltage system, each branch circuit shall be identified by phase and system. This identification shall be used at all termination, connection and splice points. This means of identification is required to permanently posted at each panelboard or similar branch circuit distribution equipment. 210.8 (A)(2) and (A)(5) EXCEPTIONS DELETED All 125 volt 15 and 20 ampere receptacles in dwelling unit garages, accessory buildings and basements are required to have ground fault circuit interrupter protection. (What this means is theat you can no longer install a dedicated circuit and single receptacle in the garage to supply a freezer, washer or similar equipment with-out G.F.C.I. protection. This includes the garage door opener). 210.12(B) DWELLING UNITS All 120 volt single phase 15 and 20 ampere branch circuits supplying outlets installed in dwelling unit family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries,dens, bedrooms, sun rooms, recreation rooms, closets, hallways, or similar rooms or areas shall be protected by a listed arc-fault circuit interupter, of the combination type installed to provide protection of the branch circuit. (This code cycle exempts garages, kitchens and bathrooms from the arc-fault requirement.) 210.52 DWELLING UNIT RECEPTACLE OUTLETS Switched receptacles shall not be counted as receptacles required by 210.52. 210.52(E) OUTDOOR OUTLETS Balconies, Decks, and Porches accessible from the inside of the dwelling unit shall have at least one receptacle outlet installed with-in the perimeter of the balcony, deck, or porch. The receptacle shall not be located more that 6 1/2 feet above the balcony, deck or porch. Exception: Balconies, decks and porches less than 20 square feet are not required to have the receptacle. 210.62 SHOW WINDOWS At least one recepacle outlet is required to be installed with-in 18 in. of the top of a show window for each 12 linear feet of window. 225.22 EXCEPTION DELETED Fexible metal conduit is no longer permitted to be used in wet locations. 250.32(B) EXCEPTION Grounding at separate building or structure using the grounded circuit conductor by exception as follows: Existing installations only. No equipment grounding conductor. No continuous metallic paths. No supply side G.F.P.E. 300.4(E) RACEWAYS INSTALLED UNDER ROOF DECKING Cable or raceway type wiring method, install in exposed or concealed locations under metal-corrugated sheet roof decking, shall be installed and supported so the nearest outside surface of the cable or raceway is not less than 1-1/2 inch from the nearest surface of the roof decking. 310.15(B)(2)(c) AMPACITY Conductors or cables installed in conduit or tubing exposed to direct sunlight on roof tops require temperature adjustment factors in accordance with the values in table 310.15(B)(2)(c). The temperature values in table 310.15(B)(2)(c) shall be added to the ambient temperature and applied to the temperature correction factors provided in table 310.16 and table 310.18. (The table shows that conduits installed with-in 1/2in. of the roof surface would have 60 degrees (F) added to the ambient temperature when calculating the correction factor.) 334.80 AMPACITY Ampacity adjustment factors in table 310.15(B)(2)(a) apply to the following: Where two or more cables pass through wood framing that is draft or fire stopped using thermal insulation, sealing foam, or caulking material. Where more than two, type N.M. cables with two or more current carring conductors are installed in thermal insulation with-out maintaining seperation between the cables. (Installed in thermal insulation means in contact with the insulation.) 406.8(A) and (B)(1) WET LOCATIONS Receptacles installed in damp and wet locations are required to be listed as weather resistant. 406.11 TAMPER RESISTANT RECEPTACLES IN DWELLING UNITS. All 125 volt 15 and 20 ampere receptacles installed in areas specified by 210.52 shall be listed tamper resistant type. 410.130(G) DISCONNECTING MEANS Requirements for disconnecting means applies only to ballasted fixtures with double end lamps. The disconnect must open all conductors including the grounded conductor when connected to a multi-wire branch circuit. The disconnect shall be a single device and where installed external to the fixture, it is required to be located with-in sight from the fixture. | Return Home | Our Services | Employment | Code Violations | Prejects Past and Present | Useful Links | Whats New | Download Page | Arc Fault Issues | |
