This is great, I am having an above ground pool installed and have decided to tackle the electrical myself. So, as long as I have a GFCI breaker I can run UF cable for the pool pump and then a separate GFCI breaker I can also run a UF cable for the utility receptacle?

[@mcarroll598]

Coach, why about the red ribbon warning tape? Split the difference and add tape? Thanks.

[@bp3117]

In the company where I work we always run 2 circuits of 20 amps, for the garages and we put a double pole switch, then a circuit for the lighting, and one for the contacts controlled with GFCI, but nothing at beginning , only the double 20 amps breaker. is this new or change by state. thanks

[@garyjohn316]

Can I use 10/3 Gray Solid CU UF-B W/G Wire for 240 indoor? Bought the wrong wire and already ran it.

[@jameslazar6385]

So I'm a new master electrician thanks to you in the state of Virginia thanks by the way. You are a awesome trainer . So normally i dig 24 inches down for say an above ground 20 amp locking outlet and i run in UF cable and sleave IN schedule 80 when i 90 up on both sides. So my question with this 12 inch rule do i have to protect whole thing in pvc and not just when it exits the ground using this 12 inch rule ? Thanks again for your expertise

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

First off, congratulations!!!!
And yep when you emerge from grade it needs to be protected from physical damage*

[@jameslazar6385]

​@@ElectricalCodeCoach Appreciate you man seriously, You definitely made studying much easier. So sorry for the run ons above lol. So the question was not for when i emerge but more of in between ? Like does the whole run have to be ran in PVC WITH THE 12 INCH RULE ? Thanks again man

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

According to the NEC no but work with your electrical inspector!!

[@jameslazar6385]

@@ElectricalCodeCoach lol i was afraid of that comment . The good old AHJ. Thats why we do 18 inches and sleeve the whole way thru cause we dont wanna fail for personal opinion or argue for that matter

[@luckyhiker3434]

Hey coach, in your illustration you show a multi wire branch circuit (UF cable with a black, red and white with ground). I see you could have a double pole breaker and be fine but how would you do this with a GFCI receptical? This seems out of sorts. If you pigtail the black and red on the load side of the GFCI you could have a damaged black or red and I am wondering if the GFCI would fail to see this. These branch circuits with shared neutrals is something I would rather avoid.

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Great question! Both of those gfci's will function just fine if you GFCI protect locally, however you could not put it on a 2-pole GFCI breaker in it function on the other end

[@miclo5636]

Can u run it thru atic?

[@nighttrain98]

Flex outdoor conduit allowed?

[@mauriciomalisani2506]

Very good explanation thanks

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

You are very welcome!

[@masonmcginnis2736]

Very interesting! Good thing I don’t care about code!

[@tedlahm5740]

20 Amp or less on the post light. Thank you.

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Yes I misspoke the whole code is 20 amps or less

[@qqwe3]

Is there a maximum length requirement?

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Great question! Yes there are maximums and that's when you start getting into voltage drop.

[@brianborden8394]

Can you use that wire in walls or would you just use it to get to the buildings and use a different kind of wire in the walls because I do not want to buy 250 foot of this wire and have to switch to a different kind of wire I am use 12/2 wire

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Great question! Regular UF cable can be used indoors and outdoors

[@brianborden8394]

@@ElectricalCodeCoach thank you

[@illestofdemall13]

You could also just buy a smaller roll.

[@easth-lr2gt]

What about 50amp with conduit?

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Great question!! You would use table 300.5

[@starhawke380]

These are more guidelines than rules though, right?

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Nope codes.

Question: Maximum distance? 100' 200' ?

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

No maximum that I know of

[@tankcentersc]

@@ElectricalCodeCoach But you loose amperage/volts the farther the distance correct?
