  • Select the correct grounding electrode system and apply the 25-ohm and supplementary-electrode requirements of 250.53

  • Differentiate grounding from bonding in service, separately derived, and multi-building applications

Your checkpoint

Completed grounding and bonding worksheet of 20 calculated scenarios, each with code section citations, reviewed for errors

Week 3

Services, Feeders, and Branch Circuits (NEC Articles 210, 215, 225, 230)

  • Compute service and feeder loads using Articles 220 methods applied through Article 230

  • Size service-entrance conductors, service disconnects, and grounding for one- and two-family dwellings

  • Calculate branch-circuit requirements for small-appliance, laundry, and general lighting loads

  • Apply Article 225 rules for outside branch circuits and feeders, including clearances and masts

Your checkpoint

Full residential service calculation for a 2,400 sq ft dwelling including load summary, conductor sizing, and overcurrent selection

Week 4

Equipment for General Use (NEC Articles 400-460) & Special Occupancies, Special Conditions, and Special Equipment (NEC Chapters 5-6)

  • Apply Article 410 luminaire and Article 406 receptacle requirements to real installation layouts

  • Size and select flexible cords and cables, switches, and panelboards per Articles 400, 404, and 408

  • Identify which Article 500/502/503 class-division rules drive wiring method changes in hazardous locations

  • Contrast dwelling-unit, commercial, and assembly-occupancy requirements in Chapters 5 and 6

Your checkpoint

Two timed 40-question practice sets on Domains 5 and 6, each scored at 75% or better with every miss written up

Week 5

Special Occupancies, Special Conditions, and Special Equipment (NEC Chapters 5-6) & Motors, Air Conditioning, and Industrial Controls (NEC Articles 430, 440)

  • Determine motor branch-circuit, feeder, and overload protection sizing using Article 430 tables and 125%/430.52 rules

  • Calculate motor disconnecting means, controller rating, and conductor ampacity from nameplate data

  • Apply Article 440 rules to hermetic refrigerant motor-compressors and room air conditioners

  • Resolve special-occupancy conflicts such as health care, places of assembly, and swimming pools against Chapter 3 methods

Your checkpoint

Five fully worked motor and A/C calculation problems (branch circuit, feeder, overload, disconnect) with cited tables

Week 6

Motors, Air Conditioning, and Industrial Controls (NEC Articles 430, 440) & Special Systems and Communications Circuits (NEC Chapters 7-8)

  • Build a one-page motor calculation decision flow from nameplate to final overcurrent device

  • Distinguish Class 1, 2, and 3 circuits and apply Article 725 separation and wiring requirements

  • Summarize Article 760 fire alarm, Article 800 communications, and Article 820 CATV requirements and their non-power-limited limits

  • Compare Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 scope rules and identify where Article 300 does not apply

Your checkpoint
