Ryan, I work fot an Electrical Testing Company. We perform lot of re-torque, clean, and Thermographic services along with data collection and Arc Fault Calculations done and find about 15% of all Electrical terminals loose industry wide from 12 Gu AWG to parallel 500s . Many Buildings we go to, it's the 1st time in 20-50 years since Electrical was serviced and the Companies are being mandated by insurance companies to have these services performed. I believe an Engineered maint torque spec on specific apparatus should be listed on equipment.
in going thru the kitchen circuits hopefully you can clarify something for me from 210.52B(1). 2-20 amp small appliance circuits all counter top and wall outlets does this include the receptacle outlet for the refrigerator? I see in exception adding an outlet is permitted Where do I get power for the over head lights? Can it be on the small appliance branch circuit?
Iv been missing out on you my man ,,, ryannnnnn backkkkk!!!!!!”” Now this is what we need.... don’t stop,,, like the way u find ur definitions; priceless $$
Outlets under kitchen/dining room islands or peninsula overhangs: Electrically OK but unsafe for other reasons: Got stuff plugged in there? Someone is eventually going to be sitting on a bar stool and that device us gonna end up on the floor (cord catch). Sometimes it's a clock, sometimes it's a crock pot(burn hazard). Personally disdain outlets under overhangs. They are a danger.
I have a list of 50 CPSC confirmed burn injuries from that exact scenario. Watch for the 2026 NEC to ban them. I think it is probably too late for the 2023. We'll see.
The reevaluation of lighting loads is the best new code ever. Especially eliminating the 125% extra since conductors are already rated for continuous load. 70% decrease.
Ryan, I think the intent of the code clarification in 90.2 for EVs is not those little 120V receptacles but rather the burgeoning Vehicle to Grid technology, just FYI en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid?wprov=sfla1
Just to clarify garage 20amp circuit can only Serve garage receptacles in each car bay that are below 5 1/2 feet. So my garage door open receptacle must come off anther general purpose circuit and still have GFCI protection . But i cant have it GFCI at that receptacle because it wouldn’t be readily accessible.
I disagree with you statement on video. It’s 5 1/2 and above have to be GFI protected but doesn’t state that openers have to on a general circuit. GFI can be one below that protects the openers.
Correct readily accessible. The 20 amp at 5 1/2 below with GFI installed could protect the load side of Garage opener. Doesn’t say on a general circuit.
I guess what I’m saying is the receptacle in the Garage on ceiling is still part of the garage. So that same branch circuit could supply the opener as long as it protected by the gfi that supplies garage receptacle.

It was a great change, for sure!
I understand, in an unfinished basement I need a ground fault receptacle for each circuit plus the dryer on a separate line.
More or less, yes.
For me a big change is the lighting calculate for stimate demand
Any chance you offer ICC PP CEU credits?
When I teach at their facility I do, yes.

I think that is the intent as well. Unfortunately, the code doesn't differentiate.
Ryan, any chance you can explain the new text added to 220.60, noncoincidental loads.
LOL...nope!
It makes no sense whatsoever. Fortunately it will be changing for the 2023.
Excelente. Saludos desde Colombia!!.. Excelent............

Yep.
Do I have to be iec member to get books
Nah. Go to www.iectraining.com and hit "guest." Thanks for your interest!

No. See 210.8(A).

@@jasonault3511 I'm not sure what you are saying, but 210.11(C)(4) seems to disagree with you.

@@jasonault3511 Not anymore.
