In just a few days the State of Florida will be adopting the 2011 NEC. What this means to you as an electrician is that all permits submitted for permitting after 6/30/2015 will be governed by the 2011 NEC. You will get cited for mistakes because we all are going to make mistakes. I still see violations of the 2008 NEC so the 2011 NEC will not be exempt. When you have doubts about what you are about to do call your local inspector to discuss your concerns and maybe that call will save you time and money. Remember, your inspector is learning too, he is just as concerned about the coming changes as you are. So lets work together to make this transition a smooth one. As an inspector my job is to give the customer a safe electrical system and to help you as an electrician deliver the safe system.
Change is tough, but it is what we do every couple of years, because the technology changes and we have to adapt. Changes in our Code are made for the betterment of a safer electrical system. So when you get that correction notice or that plan review checklist, use it as a tool to help you build a safer electrical system and reduce the amount of mistakes in the future.
Till next week work safe be safe.
