Did you know fire stations now need AFCI protection in their sleeping areas? NEC section 210.12 expands the AFCI requirements for 120V, 15A and 20A branch circuit located in sleeping quarters of fire, police, ambulance, and ranger stations. The common theme for expanding AFCI protection is always related to sleeping areas. Watch the video as Mike and the team break down the AFCI changes in 210.12 and connect the dots to other key Code sections.

During a medical procedure a patient may have a limited ability to react to an electric shock or may be completely unconscious. This risk is addressed in section 517.13 of the NEC which lays out the EGC requirements for patient care spaces in health care facilities. To ensure that the patient is protected, the branch-circuit wiring method must consist of a two-part effective ground-fault current path that is unique to patient care spaces. Join Mike and the team on the video as they discuss the requirements of 517.13 in the NEC.
