I’m not even an electrician. I’m an insurance agent. Boy am I glad I watched till the end. Did you just pray for me? Dude… perfect timing. Perfect words. I needed that. I don’t know who you are but…. Faith in humanity restored moment. KEEP BLESSING FOLKS! Amazing ending.

Hey code coach, just wanted to thank you for your awesome channel. Just passed my Journeymans exam yesterday and have to give credit where its due. Much props to you man. Your prep exams prepared me and now going hard for my masters in two years. Big fan from Texas, thanks man.

Thanx coach ! Appreciate your drive to help the next man.

thanks for sharing your experience. look forwarding in learning from you.

Gfi receptacles are great but all to often I've seen after the first year especially in the commercial area. Constant calls for nuisance tripping due improper cleaning techniques and or incompetent workers. Also most owners including but not limited to home owners and commercial business owners don't desire to have a maintenance contract to verify proper operations of electrical equipment. That said I have seen GFI receptacles become loose on the grounded side and or the clamp or screw have the smallest air gap and cause the reset to act like a contactor that is unable to pull in and but keeps trying and with in seconds generate enough heat to start a fire. Gfi receptacles are great but a better design is needed for the constant use and wear by today's society.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for your encouragement

I am so grateful you are out here on You Tube.Once you walk us through these articles they make more sense. The content is excellent. Keep up the GREAT work.

Thnx coach great video keep it coming

thank you again... You bless me man!

The troublesome bit are EVSE units that plug in and you end up with a GFCI behind GFCI and nuisance tripping.

Peace and Blessings, Good Brother!

Great video and thanks for taking the time to go through the changes. At this point is probably financial better to switch out a breaker with gfci instead of switching individual outlets

God bless you brother all good information 43 years in the trade still Kickin

Thanks Coach for praying for me I will continue to pray for you too.

What they should really change is the statement "The National Electrical Safety Code is a voluntary standard."

Quick question on the aquarium clause. Most aquariums no longer have "conductive supporting frames". They are either glass and plastic or all plastic. Most stands now are wooden. And another question. Until I retired I spent the last 32 years in an industrial setting. Sawmills, mineral ore processing, and 2 decades in waste water treatment. How do GFCI's work with MCC's, soft starts, and VFD's? We had several sump pumps running through VFD's using PID loops to maintain a constant level with variable inflows. The pump is actually running on a 3000-6000 hz carrier frequency usually simulation 30-80 hz.

Can u just use gfi breaker to protect kitchen ? Or does code require gfi outlets instead of main panel gfi breaker ? Thanks.

Hope this isn’t a dumb question - I have a condenser outside that has a 10-2 wire suppling power. GFCI breakers are designed with a neutral tail, so how does this work when you don’t use the neutral. BTW, I agree with you - I think GFCI is a life saver and low cost insurance to save a life.

Is it within Code to protect my outdoor garage outlets from the GFCI protected indoor garage outlets?

Question on bottle filling stations.In a commercial building,gfci is required.The gfci needs to be accessible correct?And the gfci shall not be covered up by the filling station correct?

So new GFCIs are designed to shut off power when they fail self-test. If a freezer or freezer is installed in a Kitchen, even if more than 6 ft from a sink, it now MUST have a GFCI, accessible receptacle or not. So that GFCI is DESIGNED to fail self-test eventually and it WILL then cause possibly very expensive food losses particularly for freezers. This is just thoughtless. Who at NFPA do we bill when we lose $1K in freezer contents? So to defend against this we have to pre-emptively change out GFCIs before they fail?

If I am following the HVAC GFCI planned future requirement, we would need to start running x/3 (ex. 10/3) wire for the device to have a neutral for the GFCI breaker. So, question to the electricians and HVAC techs here, if you were to do a new install or were to do a replacement, would you upgrade the branch wire to 10/3 from 10/2 (for example) ahead of time to be ready?

What is the true reason that the recepticals were removed for Kitchen islands for 2023 compared to 2020 code?

This is why i no longer. Am a electrician. 35 years. Had enough of this crap . Nec trying to save thier jobs . Because some guy somewhere, sometime did something wrong. House on fire , fire department not looking for a disconnect. Stuip.

Hi Coach, What do you do when the GFCI on a microwave oven in the kitchen or fridge keeps tripping? Please advise. Thank you 🙏

Anyone els see the nuisance tripping calls rolling in lol

Hey coach I was wondering if I could get some feedback on this situation I have going on . My house main breaker is tripping at 60-90 amps . It’s a 125 amp main breaker. Could it be going bad ? One of conductors feels warm to the touch . I check all connections to make sure no arcing was going on everything seems to be fine . Would love your feedback .

Dumb question. Is there a 240 gfci for an electric stove ?

The majority of the fixtures I use on residential buildings are manufactured LED lighting, with out serviceable parts and rated for wet locations (sealed). I think this is becoming a common situation. GFI protection too? It seems to me like some greedy Lobbyist are getting fatter by the minute from this.
