Electrical Calculations | Single Family Dwellings

Electrical Calculations. Join Paul for this RARE 2 1/2 hour session on electrical calculations. In this episode, Paul will explain (step-by-step) the calculations for a Single Family Dwelling as explained in the Fast Trax® Program.

Learning the National Electrical Code can be a daunting task but have no fear, the Fast Trax® System is designed to teach you the things you need to know to be successful in the electrical field.

Ok.Ok.Ok. lol people are so ignorant. They must have not had to read Holt's books and watch DVD's and try to learn. This is the best learning platform I have found in 18 years. 84 on Tx journeyman first time, about to take my masters with the help of FAST TRAX black. Keep up the good work!! We love ya Paul.

Passed my Texas journeyman’s today with an 86% thanks for the videos I can confirm some of this material is on the Texas test

Thanks for the help Paul!! I am having to do this process for my personal home (as requested by the inspector) and this has helped me a TON!! thanks and God bless you!

great help, so many use ac for largest motor when heat is used to calculate service. also service conductor and neutral sizing as well as grounding eq and electrode . great help even a non electrician should be able to understand.

Incredible!! Thank you for letting some of this content out for free⚡

Hi Paul Abernathy at Master The NEC,

Thank you for the informative video on performing electrical load calculations for single-family dwellings. I noticed that in your example, there was no mention of factoring continuous loads at 125%. According to NEC guidelines, continuous loads, which are expected to run for three hours or more, should be calculated at 125% when sizing conductors and overcurrent protection.

Could you please clarify whether this was taken into account in your calculations? If not, could you explain why it might not be necessary in the context you provided, or perhaps provide an example of how to incorporate this factor for continuous loads?

Thank you!

Hello, I imagine these videos will help me with the Electrical Inspectors exams as well?

[izakseen]

Great information. Where would I include a hot tub? Just the motors in appliances? What about the heating circuit? Can in exclude it?

[gamalieracevedo]

hi!; great video. question, where do you place a gas dryer, 120V, 6A, 720W?

[punkybrewster]

So at marker 32:50, you state electric cooking equipment isn't required, but isn't having cooking provisions part of what the NEC defines a dwelling unit? Or does that just mean a dwelling has to have a dedicated area to prepare food (a kitchen)?

Gonna take my journeyman soon about 3 month's, whats another good book to use to study? Or best way to pass?

When does state testing for the 2023 NEC go into effect? I’m due to register for my masters but I want to make sure I am prepared.

How do you do load calculation for duplex 2 family load calculation? I couldnt find anything on it. I appreciate the video really helpful

[junejune]

Are well, septic, and circulation pumps added any differently?

Where do you account for an Electric Vehicle Charging Station? Would that be considered a “Fastened-In-Place Appliance”?

[kevinandrade]

For VA what code book they using? And if i want to take the test at the end of next year what code book year should i get? Also how do i buy your program?

[dreammakermagic]

i have the 2023 code book will that ok to take journey man test or does it have to many changes already

[gamalieracevedo]

Also, where do you place a Electric Vehicle Charger, 240V, 50A, 12kW?

[tchanguenherman]

Please i want to know which book are you using on this video

Unfortunately, it seems that tankless water heaters and EV chargers are being installed to existing single family dwellings without considering service load calculations.
