I’m not sure how we are going to make the GFCI protective device readily accessible at a gas station, would that be to the consumer or the gas station owner.
This is a new change and its not out line considering the condition of some of this equipment. Maybe the manufactures will start incorporating these devices into
the equipment.

This one is from a job in WPB a few years back!
If you have a great picture you want to send. Send me ones you take on the job with a brief description.
Please don’t send ones from the Web. They may copy rights.
Thanks

This weeks Code change clarifies when you use the service mast as a drop support. It can not be attached above a coupling if there are no supports above the coupling. Whether it is above a roof as depicted in the slide below or attached to the side of a building. If you use the mast for attachment then there has to be adequate mechanical strength to support the drop.

This weeks change comes from Chapter 2, article 200.4(B) identifying neutral conductors. This change is for all enclosures not just in a panelboard. So when you run several circuits with neutral through a Junction box remember to identify them, so we know which circuit the serve.

This one comes from Lake Worth. This was just outside of a automotive spray booth.
It was feeding a light!
This weeks post is for a new 2014 Code change (December 2017 Adoption date). Section 210.52 (G)
outlets in garages. We will have to install one for each space, and they won’t be able to feed lights on
the outside of the garage.
THIS IS A 2014 CODE CHANGE WHICH IS NOT IN USE AT THIS TIME. STATE OF FLORIDA IS LOOKING AT
DECEMBER OF 2017 TO ADOPT THIS CODE.
Till Next time be safe work safe and Merry Christmas!!!

During my trip out on Black Friday I found a new product that should help solve some of the problems I have run into out in the field. The product is a GFCI/AFCI receptacle outlet, both 15 and 20 ampere. Thought this may help with the problems of, “How do I get AFCI protection there”. Check out the link below to see this new outlet.

Both Eaton and Square D have retro kits for replacing old panels. Some of these kits are guts only or the whole panel fitting in an old small space.
See the attached link to Eaton retro kit, I will post the Square D one when I find it.
