314.16(A) Box Volume Calculation 2017 Code Change

This weeks selection is for a new addition to 314.16(A) for dividers that we put inside boxes to separate high voltage from low voltage.  They have come up with an assigned cubic inch capacity for metal and plastic dividers, one half cubic inch for a metal divider and one cubic inch for a plastic divider unless it is marked.  So even if all the wires are the same size but you have a divider installed you will be required to do the calculation for box fill.
