For 2023 - equipment grounding conductor fill remains the same as 2020. 2023 - 314.16(B)5 (last sentence): A 1/4 volume allowance shall be made for each additional equipment grounding conductor that enters the box, based on the largest equipment grounding conductor entering the box.
Professor the way you explain everything is so Amazing you have a gift I can believe how clear I can understand every topic thank you so much for your time and big Help.
brotha, it seems like the beginning of this lesson was cut off...we just jump straight to box calculations after the intro, but without really setting it us as usual. Am i processing this incorrectly?
I would go to mars. Get a clean slate and get to test my cool ideas where no one else is. I have no fears. Conquering my drug addiction taught me that fear is just being held back by oneself.
are you counting the first 4 egc"s as 1cu in? its my understanding they count as 1 based off the largest conductor. example. if all conductors are #12, then the first 4 egc's will equal 2.25. not 1.
Hello Coach, thanks for all the videos. For the 6 EGC #12awg, the first 4 is 2.25. Then 1/4 volume of 2.25 should be 0.5625 and not .25 Please verify, I could be wrong. Thanks
First slide about 2020 EGC says says "1/4 INCH" volume for each additional EGC after 4. HOWEVER, 2020 code says: "single VOLUME allowance" up to 4 and "quarter VOLUME allowance" (NOT INCHES) for each additional EGC Confusion with this question: 3#12 Hot + 3#12 Neutral + 1#12 EGC+ 3#14 Hot + 3#14 Neutral = 27.27 Answer '27.75' is based on 2017 code not 2020 Same example If 2020: 3#12 Hot + 3#12 Neutral + 1#12 EGC + .5#12 EGC + 3#14 Hot + 3#14 Neutral = 28.875 Is this correct??? Confusion with this question: 7#12 EGC Discussion says "1/4 INCH" but calculation is based on "1/4 VOLUME" Same with this question: 6#12 Hot + 6#12 Neutral + 6#12 ECG Discussion says "1/4 INCH" but calculation is based on "1/4 VOLUME"
I would not go to Mars for any reason. My greatest fear of taking the test is the time it takes to do the back and forth in the book finding answers for questions with which I'm not familiar.
I feel like week 5 got cut off or there is something missing between weeks 5 and 6. Help Coach!
Same here

Yes, would go to Mars and getting through the exam in time
Keep grinding bro!!
Professor the way you explain everything is so Amazing you have a gift I can believe how clear I can understand every topic thank you so much for your time and big Help.
Let's Go!!

at 6:54 your answer for MAX volume should be minimum volume being that is the name of the column...Correct..?
It's minimum for the manufacturer, it's maximum for you and me.

??230.90 deals with overcurrent protection, and doesn't say anything about overhead clearance(47:33 last question)
Yeah that's in the 2023 Nec ,I was confused too and I couldn't find the clearance over doors and windows in the 2023
thank you brotha! this video is so helpful
You are most welcome!

Not one cubic inch, but one conductor and then I multiply it out by the cubic inch volume of the number #12.
Hello Coach, thanks for all the videos. For the 6 EGC #12awg, the first 4 is 2.25. Then 1/4 volume of 2.25 should be 0.5625 and not .25
Please verify, I could be wrong. Thanks
Yes the .56 is the converted number. but .25 * 2.25 is the same number.
At 29:32 6 #14 should be 2.00 which is 12+ 4.5 for 2 X largest wire which is 2.25...am I right or wrong here..?
Great question! it is based off the largest wire connected to the device
For 2020 EGC you should add 1/4 " to the volume not 1/4 of the conductor
I appreciate the angle, but it's the same math.
I think the 2020 code says to add a 1/4 volume based on the EGC size, not 1/4 inch.
That’s how I read it.
Wait here youre talking about a free Exam prep on your website. Is that different from this one?
It* puts it in order and tracks your progress

Confusion with this question: 3#12 Hot + 3#12 Neutral + 1#12 EGC+ 3#14 Hot + 3#14 Neutral = 27.27
Answer '27.75' is based on 2017 code not 2020
Same example If 2020: 3#12 Hot + 3#12 Neutral + 1#12 EGC + .5#12 EGC + 3#14 Hot + 3#14 Neutral = 28.875
Is this correct???
Confusion with this question: 7#12 EGC
Discussion says "1/4 INCH" but calculation is based on "1/4 VOLUME"
Same with this question: 6#12 Hot + 6#12 Neutral + 6#12 ECG
Discussion says "1/4 INCH" but calculation is based on "1/4 VOLUME"
that ill forget to pray the day of the exam.
You'll remember, brother.
I would not go to Mars for any reason. My greatest fear of taking the test is the time it takes to do the back and forth in the book finding answers for questions with which I'm not familiar.
👍🏻
Lord I hope they allow a calculator in the testing center
Most testing centers do or provide a digital one.
the last answer is also in 230.10
confusing that your teaching the 2017 version of EGC.
Keep watching, we cover the 20/20 as well. Half of the country still on the 2017 and will be for the next several years.
No, mars is fake and my biggest fear is that I'll pass my test.
