Fire Pumps (Article 695) - NEW!
Wednesday, October 11, 2023
Webinar (Zoom)
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 10:10 a.m.
Instructor: Jim Dollard
CEUs/PDHs:
2 for Philadelphia, Delaware, New Jersey
2 for Pennsylvania Electrical Inspectors
2 for PEs approved by IEEE*
Fees:
$75.00/student for EAP members
$95.00/student for non-EAP members
*$25.00/student for IEEE PDH certificate
Registration
Course Overview:
The requirements of Article 695 for fire pumps are very often misapplied in the design stage. This can lead to failed inspections, rework and in some cases significant additional costs. This presentation will provide the electrical contractor with a comprehensive look into fire pump installations (identifying the most common and costly violations) to ensure compliance with both the current NEC and NFPA 20.

Course Overview:
This webinar focuses on a small system of Solar Panel DC output, overcurrent protection, inverter sizing, AC conductors sizing, voltage drop, system sizing, calculations, basic rules, and materials needed to complete the installation in line with NEC regulations. What is Solar Photovoltaic? Is Solar selling now? What is the attraction? What’s the incentive? Where can the PV system be installed? Is it mandatory to face the array south? How are these PV systems installed and attached for ground mounts? Roof mounts? Now is your chance to get the straight story and get your specific questions answered.
Code Overlaps – What Electrician Need to Know - NEW!
Wednesday, October 25, 2023
Webinar (Zoom)
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 10:10 a.m.
Instructor: Marc Faulkner
CEUs/PDHs:
2 for Philadelphia, Delaware, New Jersey
2 for Pennsylvania Electrical Inspectors
2 for PEs approved by IEEE*
Fees:
$75.00/student for EAP members
$95.00/student for non-EAP members
*$25.00/student for IEEE PDH certificate
Registration
Course Overview:
This webinar will include information on several overlaps with other codes that will benefit electricians and help ensure compliance with areas in which they are involved. Educate yourself on the various codes and requirements related to your installation. Samples of overlap between codes related to electrical work include the building code(s) - smoke detectors, egress lighting, emergency systems, fire-rated assemblies, and energy conservation codes - lighting controls, lighting allowances.
Applicable codes: 2018 International Building Code, 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC ®), 2018 International Residential Code.

Optional Standby Systems Generators
Wednesday, November 15, 2023
Webinar (Zoom)
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 10:10 a.m.
Instructor: Rich Van Wert
CEUs/PDHs:

Fees:
$75.00/student for EAP members
$95.00/student for non-EAP members
*$25.00/student for IEEE PDH certificate
Registration
Course Overview:
This webinar will demonstrate to the student what factors influence deciding on the size of the generator and what factors influence the final choice of kW size. Students will also learn to install according to the manufacturer specifications and the applicable NEC rules of working clearances will be explained. Is the system being installed a separately derived system? Do the neutral and ground conductors need to be bonded? Is simply back feeding a receptacle using a portable generator code-compliant? Get these questions and your specific questions answered.
