God Bless you and your Family! I hope God watches over every aspect in your life! You make me want to study more than I already do Lol I enjoy how level headed and positive you are keep it up!👍
I only today subscribed to your site. I know that you are (or were) an inspector. Are you also a licensed electrician? I’m just curious. Love how you explain things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Over the bath tub you can install a recessed lighting trim as long as it is wet location rated and it is not a pendant fixture. It is also required to be GFCI protected. Correct me if I am wrong.
Another great video that helps a lot in understanding the NEC rules. It was great, including Ajax's opinion about lighting outlet. Thanks a lot Ryan. Awesome.
When I bought my house almost all the lights we're not permanent fixtures. Just all switched outlets for floor lamps ect. My house would be confusing to many electricians. Since I replaced all the light switches with automatable Z-wave switches. If the light uses more than one switch or more, only one switch is powered. The wiring that went to the other switches becomes a simple low voltage signal wire, where the wire that used to be a 120V wire is now just a signal wire back to the main switch. The code change makes it a lot easier for newer setup since some Z-wave control switched are literally stick on switch that communicate to the main switch via wireless rather than a wire.
Hey, I think the "full illumination range" actually works. If you install a non dimming switch, the range is from off to on. I believe a second 3-way switch that also ranges from off to on would cover the "full illumination range" /// both floor levels.
I dont think so because it could be dimmed down on one floor and even though you turn it on it will be dim and you cannot control the range frome the other floor exact opposite of the code
In other words at 15:33' you will need multi-location dimmers at both the top and the bottom of the staircase. Do they make 4 way multi-location dimmers?
I kind of thought the bathroom light switch installed outside the bathroom was a safety consideration,, long before the days of GFCI and before a receptacle in the bathroom was the norm
Love how thoroughly you explain things. I have a question about exterior lights for an accessory structure, for clarification sakes. Our buildings man door is directly in front of our back door to the house which has an outdoor light controlled by a switch. These structures are less than arms length apart, would this satisfy the requirements for exterior lighting for the accessory structure? If not, would a motion controlled light mounted to the exterior suffice?
I have a ?, since the last step of the wooden stairs in the garage, that you count as 6 risers, is not a physical part of the stairs, wouldnt this be a step? and since the code specifically says "riser" which must have a tread, could this be counted as 5 "risers" and 5 treads and one step? Dont know for sure, just wondering if that is why they constructed it that way, to get around the 6 riser requirement.
Ryan thanks for yet another great vid. Great pictures and full easy to understand explanation. At rear of a few houses saw where they had a photo cell controlling the outdoor luminare and converted the wall switch to a receptacle. Heard that it is not against the NEC if you mounted a luminare wall switch on hinge side of door but never done it. Back in the 60's my sparky father always called the porcelain outlet a porcelain receptacle even though it was the plain Jane type ( no receptacle or pull chain. ). 2 supply houses always know what a porcelain receptacle was.
Ryan, since you need to put the wall mounted control devices near the entrance, are 3-way switches required at multiple entrances to the same habitable room?
Outside of the bathroom, AHJ felt a person was less likely get shocked. This is before GFCI's, but if the fear of shocked is present, I don't understand why couldn't a weatherproofing seal like exteriors have be accepted.
(Assumption that the NEC is trying to make the industry safer not just catering to the manufacturers) Can you address the cost of paneled box installation for a three-bedroom dwelling under NEC 2017 Versus 2020?
There are too many variables, but we can say that basements will need to go from AFCI to dual function AFCI if they aren't already (many are). You'll need a GFCI for the dryer, the air-conditioner, and potentially a couple others, and you'll need a surge protection device at the service.

You are the best teacher for the NEC
Thank you sir Ryan ,watching from cayman Island 👍👊

I love how exceptionally you explain things. Keep up the good work.

Gotta stay current. --- Thanks for the updates. ---

A recessed can would only need to be rated for a damp location, and it need not be GFCI-protected.
@@RyanJacksonElectrical OK. Thanks for the info.
I've no idea why this was recommended or why I watched it but it was great.
LOL thanks!

LOL Ajax always has something to say! 😀

Why does/would the NEC want a switch to be listed if it is either low voltage or wireless?
I don't think it should be a requirement, personally. Maybe there is a good reason for it, but I've not heard one.
Maybe the intention is that a listed device is thought of as more reliable than a non listed device.
Whats the lighting in shower requirements today? Load from GFCI still 0k, or Arc fault? Combo ?
None of the above.
Question doesn’t things have to be over 50v to get a ul listing
Like the battery powered remote or are they charging that now
That has never been the case.

Great explanation on this I’m glad I have stumbled across your channel!!!
Great job Ryan

The code becomes an instruction when the minimum requirements are so high they dictate design.
Thanks Ryan!
