I have finished updating the 2011 FAQ's. Much info still relates back to the 2005 NEC FAQ's but I made some significant changes. Please feel free to explore and critic the thread. I made it a sticky and posted it in the NEC forum. Here is the link. Please challenge any info that does not appear correct. You can start a thread on it or contact me directly or even post right here.

Let me make this clear that I am not the author of all of this info. In fact George has spent a tremendous amount of time setting this up years ago and we still use much of that info. Thanks George. :thumbsup:
 
Nice job, both to Dennis and George.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I have a minor suggestion.

How about putting Georges " Grounding vs Bonding, the big picture" and Zog's " Safety/Qualified " threads at the end or add links. If it was already there and I missed it, sorry. Brian John has a thread also, but I gotta find it.
 
Dennis, I found an error in the "All about AFCIs". Under the "trouble shooting" section it states that " If you have a MWBC then you must use a DP AFCI. The GE brand is different in that you can use two single pole GFCI breakers with handle ties on a MWBC. To date that is the only brand that you can use two single poles on a MWBC."

I believe that should say AFCI breakers.
 
Derek thanks for all the input. It seems I may have to change the format of the first page- it seems I have met the maximum in characters. The forum is acting very strange in this respect. If I edit it and try to remove boldface type and then save it, I get a message that says too many characters. How can I have too many characters if I just undo the bold.

Am I seeing it wrong?
 
This is why I posted it now-- I read thru it so many times and I found many errors but I still miss some. The more eyes the better. :thumbsup:

BTW, I wasn't looking for errors. I was just looking at the AFCI section.:thumbsup:

My wife has shown me where the kitchen is too many times from me finding errors in what was cooked!:lol:

I've had this happen several times though not recently. The only way to get fix it was to copy all the text, cancel the post, then bring up a new post and paste in the text...

George supposedly fixed it somehow. There was a lot of color code text in the post. He just deleted that. Not sure how it got in there but ....
 
I've learned here... FAQ's

I've learned here... FAQ's

Thank you,

Dennis and George, and all the support staff of the Mike Holt "Engine".

It was a refresher to just read through the titles and skim some of the articles... :>)

I filled my spare moments today, just because of reading this one thread of how I have changed from the education I've learned here over the years that all started from reading the FAQ's. :D



Thank You and All that compose, again and again !
