NFPA 70 NEC 2026 Course Details

The National Electrical Code® (NEC®) serves as the foundational code for electrical system applications and is the benchmark for safe electrical design, installation, and inspection. Compliance with the NEC helps to protect people and property from electrical hazards, and the code is used in all 50 states in the U.S. and in many countries around the globe. NFPA publishes it, and a new edition is released every three years, as developed through the consensus-based NFPA Standards Development Process.

The seven core concentrations for the 2026 NEC online series are:

  • General Equipment Installation Practices
  • Conductors and Overcurrent Protection
  • Wiring Methods and Raceway Fill
  • Grounding Principles and Practices
  • Bonding Principles and Practices
  • Transformer Protection
  • Motors and HVACR Equipment

Key Elements of NFPA 70 NEC Training

The purpose of the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code (NEC) is to safeguard people and property from hazards that may arise from the use of electricity. People that utilize the NEC should be qualified to do so, as it is not intended to be a design specification or an instruction manual for untrained people. While the scope of the NEC covers the majority of public and private premises electrical installations, it does not include all applications. For example, the NEC does not apply to electrical installations on ships, railway rolling stock, aircraft, or automotive vehicles other than mobile homes and recreational vehicles.

To truly understand the NEC, one must appreciate its logical and systematic structure. The code is organized into a series of modules, each with a specific focus:

NEC Overview

Key Definitions and Electrical Math

General Requirements for Electrical Installations

Conductor Ampacity: Corrections and Adjustments

Overcurrent Protection

Sizing Raceways and Boxes

Grounding and Bonding

Devices and Equipment Overview

Electrical Service Installations

Motor and Transformers Overview

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, the learner should be able to examine the requirements of the NEC as they relate to performing a safe electrical installation:

  • Navigate the NEC to find applicable requirements for an electrical installation.
  • Establish a fundamental knowledge of key definitions and electrical math required to interpret NEC requirements.
  • Identify electrical equipment marking requirements.
  • Determine the dimensions of required access and working spaces around equipment.
  • Perform conductor ampacity correction and adjustment calculations.
  • Determine general requirements for sizing and installing service, feeder, branch circuit conductors, and overcurrent protection.
  • Determine the minimum raceway size for a given set of conductors.
  • Determine the pull or junction box size based on straight, angle, and U pulls.
  • Determine and appropriately size key elements of the building grounding and bonding system.
  • Identify receptacle, GFCI, AFCI, and switch requirements.
  • Size an electrical service installation including electrical load, conductors, conduits, and grounding and bonding components.
  • Determine conductor size, branch-circuit short-circuit ground-fault protection, and overload protection for motors.
  • Review relevant transformer code requirements and calculate necessary overcurrent protection.
