+National Electrical Code Violations

We see Code violations all the time. And where there's one, there are usually many. For example, look at the photo at right. How many Code violations can you see? Click on the photo to get a clear view. Go ahead--you should be able to see at least six violations. KCViolation_001.jpg (49597 bytes)


If you saw less than six Code violations, you need to start taking Mike Holt's Code courses. And, yes, we at Codebookcity have contributed to those courses. Don't think we're being tricky on the Code violations count. We spotted 12 Code violations. If you can't get half that many, you need Mike Holt's Code courses.

Now, can you spot the Code violations in the pictures below? These pictures are the property of Joe Tedesco. To see more of these kinds of photos, visit Joe's site at http://www.joetedesco.com. On this site, you'll find a wealth of NEC-related resources. Joe is a nationally-recognized NEC expert, trainer, and author.

How the NEC is arranged

  1. The first four Chapters of the NEC apply to all installations.
  2. Article 90 precedes Chapter One, and establishes the authority of the NEC.
  3. Article 80 follows the body of the NEC; it exists as Annex H. It provides the requirements for administration.
  4. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 are the "special" chapters, covering special: occupancies, equipment, and conditions (in that order).
  5. Chapter 8 provides the requirements for communications systems.
  6. Chapter 9 provides tables.
  7. The appendices provide mostly reference information.
  8. Appendix D contains examples that every NEC user should study.
