2023 Code Change Materials 2

[tom baker]

For the last 3 code cycles I have been saving articles from EC Mag on code changes, they are up to part 10, all available on line. EC&M Magazines latest issue has a good overview by Mike Holt of the 25 most important changes. The focus is a bit different between the two on what they cover. Later I will get the complete book on code changes, and I think that Mike has partnered with NFPA. IAEI has now partnered with ICC for code changes, instead of the NFPA.
Lastly, when I started instructing code change classes back in 1996, every code cycle I would state "there are more GFCI changes", and that remains true with the 2023.

Started reading my dads EC&M magazine in the late 1969's but over the years like newspapers page count shrunk maybe by 75% and instead if taking a hour to go thru it only took a few minutes and stopped getting it. We had a not too concerned shop teacher who would ask us questions straight out of EC& M magazine so I did not have to look anything up. As son as my dad bought home this magazine I would spend at least a hour pouring thru it. Look at Mike Holts 7 day a week code graphic & code question and Charlie Trouts code question every day.

I have looked for a book on Code changes for electrical, and I have never found one.

I get them for the Building and Residential Codes.

Who has this book?

For now, since California is one Code cycle behind everyone else, I get all my Code change info by studiously reading this forum.

My state just adopted the 2020 NEC. Every time I get EC&M or EC magazine with the 2023 NEC changes, I have to remind myself we are in the 2020 cycle.

I still get EC&M but barely read it. I got irritated by an article they carried a couple of years ago. Writer was Doneshgari I think. He showed a lot of workplace pics supposedly illustrating inefficiencies. He made a lot of assumptions & left out a lot of detail. I emailed him with questions. He did reply but answered none of my questions. I think I posted here about that. I’ll have to look back. I went to their online site and challenged each point he wrote about. The moderator made a veiled insult about my “lengthy reply”. I retorted that my reply was a point by point challenge.

There are at least four that I can think of that publish code changes books, IAEI, Mike Holt, NJATC, Stallcup, and maybe the IEC.

I'm old school and still like to read things. My local Sunday newspaper page count was cut greatly then they raised the price $4.95. If I'm talking one of the grandchildren to the dollar store I will occasionally pick up the Sunday paper on following weekday for only $1.25. Sunday paper two weeks before Christmas only had two I served adds. One was to get a reduced rate if you sign up to have it delivered. Twenty years ago they would have a least twenty adds and a nice coupon oak for my wife to clip store coupons. I joined the great IAEI after I was 50 to get the needed CEU'S to renew my electrical license. Younger coworkers took more convient on line together their CEU'S.

Used to read my dads copy of EC&M back in the 1960's . Started going out with my sparky dad & uncle when I was about ten years old on their side jobs. Had my own copy for many years but stopped my subscription.
