Item#: RV-10517

SME: Neal Burdick

This is the sixth of several courses covering the changes in the 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) created by the NFPA®. The 2014 NEC provides an accurate, reliable, and authoritative account of the hundreds of significant revisions in the 2014 Code.
 
This course provides coverage of significant changes in the 2014 National Electrical Code®. With every new edition of the NEC, some of the changes include new requirements to sections, while some of the changes include entirely new articles. Some changes are revisions to existing requirements while others are deletions to some existing requirements.
 
Chapter 6, which covers electrical signs and outline lighting, is the second of three NEC chapters that deal with special topics. Special Equipment is equipment that, by the nature of its use, construction, or by its unique nature creates a need for additional measures to ensure the mission of the NEC “Safeguarding of people and property”.
