“POCKET SIZE” Key Word Index by Tom Henry

Tom Henry has decided that the KEY WORD INDEX needs to be with the electrician and the inspector daily in the field as they discuss the Code rules so you can both quickly go to the section in the Code book and have a good conversation on the ruling.

Try finding the answer to these Code questions quickly without the KEY WORD INDEX!

Where in the Code does it state:

• that snap switches don’t require a box?
• you can use a bushing in lieu of a box?
• you are to repair drywall so there are no gaps or open spaces around the faceplate?
• that enclosures can be used as a junction box for a switch?
• the Code requires a steel plate to protect ENT?
• aluminum fittings can be used with steel?
• that fixed ladders shall be corrosion resistant?
• electrical equipment shall be permitted to be supported by trees?
• that 6″ of free conductor must emerge from a box?

Note from Tom: Always remember, it is not the inspector’s job to teach you the Code, you the installer of electrical equipment are to be knowledgeable of the Code Rules and where they are located in the Code book as you are the responsible person in the case of an accident in a court of law.

Sovereign immunity in the United States is the legal privilege by which the American federal, state, and tribal governments cannot be sued. This means the powers to be are exempt. Which means in some cases the inspector is not held responsible. Some states have comparative negligence which means in a law suit they can proportion the blame.

This is why I keep trying to educate the electrician in my writings and why continuing education is a must.
