Circuit and Conductor Types Self Guided Online Course

This self-paced online course covers National Electrical Code® requirements for circuits and conductors. Understanding the different types of circuits defined by the NEC® is important because finding the requirements for any given circuit depend on knowing which type of circuit is involved.

Students will learn to:

• Explain the three primary types of circuits found in a power distribution system.
• Explain the requirements for different types of service conductors.
• Describe requirements for feeders.
• Describe requirements for branch circuits.
• Outline requirements for special purpose circuits and conductors, including:
  • flexible cords.
  • fixture wires.
  • remote control and signaling circuits.
  • class 1, 2 and 3 circuits.
  • fire alarm circuits.
  • communication circuits.
  • optical fiber circuits.

Who Will Benefit:
Anyone whose job involves designing, reviewing, evaluating or installing electrical systems, including: designers, installers, engineers, electrical contractors, technicians, project managers, fire marshals, and architects.
