There is NO size restriction for reidentifying a gray or white conductor inside a cable assembly or flexible cord as an ungrounded conductor. The size restriction of 4 AWG and larger only applies when you are reidentifying a conductor that isn’t white, as a grounded conductor. Let me know if you have any questions.
Alright folks, I need your help. Who are some “up and coming” content creators in the electrical industry? Tag them in the comments below. This fall, I will be attending NECA 2026 in Las Vegas, and participating in the The 360 Electrician Social Media Influencer Awards for the second year in a row. I need to start figuring out who I am going to vote for in the “Rising Star” category.
Here’s a quick little breakdown on Kirchhoff’s Current Law. I’m done trying to pronounce his last name since I get corrected every time, so from here moving forward, I’m just calling him Gustav. Let me know if you have any questions.
It’s not a code violation to use a white wire as an ungrounded conductor, as long as it’s part of a cable assembly, and as long as it’s re-identified as an ungrounded conductor according to 200.8(C). Let me know if you have any questions.
I need y’all to do me a favor. Drop pictures of the worst installs you have encountered in the wild down in the comments below. If it’s riddled with code violations, I’ll make a video about it. 🤙🏽
The term “neutral” is almost never incorrect, only in rare cases. Remember, all neutrals are grounded conductors, but not all grounded conductors are neutrals. Let me know if you have any questions.
In case you didn’t know, it’s a code violation for the continuity of a grounded conductor to depend on a metal enclosure, raceway, or cable armor. In this case, the neutral was connected at separate points to the CT cabinet, effectively making that portion of the cabinet a part of the grounded conductor. Let me know if you have any questions.
When running PVC CONDUIT, the rules are a little bit different than when you’re running other types of conduit. The supporting requirements are a lot closer than other methods, and you will most likely need an expansion fitting. Take a look at NEC 352.30(B) and 353.44, and let me know if you have any questions.
What do you do if you hit rock bottom while attempting to drive a ground rod? Believe it or not, the answer does not involve using a sawzall. 250.53(A)(4)(B) gives us a plan A, B, and C. Let me know if you have any questions.
If current flows out to the load and then back to the power source, why do we pay an electric bill?? Is the power company ripping you off?? The answer is no. You’re billed off of energy consumption, which only flows in one direction.
