John Williamson, Operations Supervisor with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, joins Structure Talk to do a deep dive in electricity. The gang covers the following topics, among other things:

  • Is it a bad idea for refrigerators to be plugged into GFCI-protected receptacles?
  • What are some changes in the 2020 code?

  • Surge protective devices required for dwelling units with one, two, or even multi-family.
  • Emergency Disconnects
  • Why do we still have problems with unwanted tripping at AFCI devices and what will it take to fix it?
