00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:38,840
What's up, everybody? Welcome to
another episode of Let's Ask Paul, the

2
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,759
podcast where you get to ask me
Paul Abernathy anything you want about the National

3
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,600
Electrical Code and all things electrically related. If selected, your question will be

4
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,759
featured on an upcoming podcast much like
today's, or I will respond in an

5
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:58,159
email. But remember, all you
have to do is you have to go

6
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,560
to Paul Abernathy dot com and simply
put your name in email address and put

7
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,079
your question in and again, if
selected, will be on an upcoming podcast

8
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:10,640
or responded in an email. Please
be patient. We have tons of them

9
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,159
and I'm trying to get through them
and sort through them. So again,

10
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:15,560
it takes time to be able to
get to all that. So again,

11
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,439
I appreciate you sending in those questions. Though it's totally paid for by weeks,

12
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,599
it's sponsored, you don't have to
worry about a cost. Then,

13
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,959
just remember I can't be your personal
consultants, so don't ask me how to

14
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,079
do an installation, ask me a
code question, ask me something else in

15
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:36,719
electrical industry, how to start,
how to promote, But don't ask me

16
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,280
to be your consultant, because I
can't do it unless you want to do

17
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:44,840
a paid consulting again liability reasons only, I cannot design your system. Okay,

18
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,920
all right, enough of that,
all right. So also I want

19
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,200
to give a couple announcements to a
couple of products that we have over on

20
00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:56,840
our website fastracksystem dot com. Y'all
all heard me talk about the voltage drop

21
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,560
NFC cards. They are really thick
and the NFC if you don't tell us

22
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,400
what you want it to scan to, we'll scan it to our mobile app

23
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,799
so you can get access to all
the tools right away that are on our

24
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,120
mobile app if you don't have it
already installed on your phone. And then

25
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:15,000
we also have new what's called conductor
length cards. Now, these cards are

26
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,599
designed to tell you how much wires
still left on a reel in a barrel,

27
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,879
or maybe on a coil of MCA
or something like that, or maybe

28
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:29,960
our pull pros that we have at
Encore, all those type of things.

29
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,960
But anyway, this conductor link will
get you really, really really close.

30
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,719
And it's all based on ambient temperature, so you'll need to know what the

31
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,080
temperature is approximately in the area that
you're at, although I will tell you

32
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,919
on the back. We give a
wide range from seventy five to ninety because

33
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,719
that's typically the area that you might
be in a conditioned space. It's not

34
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,039
going to help you try to measure
it if you're out in a one hundred

35
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:55,240
degrees outside, although you can probably
assimilate what the changes would be, but

36
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,199
we give you most of that on
the back of the card. These are

37
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:06,360
thick cards, forty five mili a
millimeters thick, and they're engraved and it

38
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,000
gives you step by step and then
if you don't want to use our values

39
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,719
on the back, we actually show
you how to take the values from the

40
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Chapter nine Table eight, which is
based on one hundred and sixty seven degrees

41
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,599
fahrenheit seventy five degrees celsius, and
we convert them for you so that you

42
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,039
don't have to but there is a
formulae here for you to do it.

43
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,800
And the reason that we're using everything
in fahrenheit is because in order to measure

44
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,960
resistance, you have to have the
ambient temperature and the wire has to be

45
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,199
acclimated to the ambient temperature that you're
testing in order for you to get an

46
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,439
accurate resistance over the length of the
conductor. And that's the only way the

47
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:45,759
equation can be really accurate. I'll
give you an example. We did a

48
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,560
test with what the NEC said at
one hundred and sixty seven degrees fahrenheit at

49
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:54,199
for one thousand feet of twelve gauge, which is one point nine to three

50
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,719
ohms per thousand feet, and we
had a thousand foot roll. Well,

51
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,039
if you use that table, it
said there was only eight hundred sum feet

52
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,000
on the role. If you use
the ambient temperature, it was right dead

53
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:10,319
on at a thousand feet. We
knew that role was exactly a thousand feet,

54
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,840
So you know, we've tested it
out. But again, many people

55
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,240
teach you how to determine the remainder
by using resistance, but they don't take

56
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:24,439
into effect the ambient temperature. That
is going to be a key player when

57
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,240
you're trying to measure lengths. So
we do that for you on this card.

58
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,560
It's available on our website. Go
check it out. It's under the

59
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:36,240
engraved Products over on fasttracksystem dot com. All right, so let's get into

60
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,240
today's question. Today's question was submitted
through the portal. It says, Dear

61
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,600
Paul, I watch your videos and
listen to your podcast all the time.

62
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,639
Thank you for everything you do for
the trade, We're most welcome, says

63
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,199
I'm about to start a new project
to install at two hundred and AM three

64
00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:00,839
phase meter and panel three OT copper
conductors. This installation will be in the

65
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,240
basement of a building. Okay.
So it's a two part question. Okay,

66
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,480
So this is the first part.
Situation is I will be running RMC

67
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,160
conduit for the service raceway, but
just before I get to the meter,

68
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,959
I will be transitioning to RMC to
five feet FMC to the top of the

69
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,639
meter. Do you need a supply
side bonding jumper over the FMC section?

70
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:32,199
Okay, So first of all,
let's talk about the FMC. The question

71
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:38,839
that everybody will have is can you
use FMC to enclose service entrance conductors?

72
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:43,920
Any answer to that is yes.
If you go to two thirty forty three,

73
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:49,120
item number fifteen, it says it
flexible metal conduit or FMC not over

74
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:57,519
six feet long okay, okay,
not over six feet long between a raceway

75
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:02,480
or between a raceway and service equipment, and with a supply side bonding jumper

76
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:10,680
routed with the flexible metal conduit according
to two fifty one zero two ABC and

77
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:15,639
E. So the answer to the
first part of the question is can I

78
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,639
do that? Well, you said
your FMC was only five feet, Absolutely,

79
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:25,439
and do you have to put in
the bonding jumper. Absolutely, And

80
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,279
you'll get all of that right from
two thirty forty three Item fifteen. So

81
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:36,439
that answer pretty much answers that question. The second part of the question says,

82
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:43,120
I will be using two feet of
flexible metal conduit FMC from the meter

83
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:48,439
to the panel. Because of flexibility, do I need to run a supply

84
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:54,800
side bonding jumper from the panel from
the panel to the meter and install two

85
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,000
bonding bushings with lay in lugs at
both ends in size based on Table two

86
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:06,839
fifty one oh two C one,
the equipment has eccentric and concentric KOs Okay,

87
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,480
so brings in two parts to this
one. Obviously, any anywhere that's

88
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:17,199
going to have service entrance conductors and
you're going to be using FMC, you're

89
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,360
going to have to have a supply
side bonding jumper. Shear fact that it

90
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:25,199
has service conductors in it tells you
that it's on the supply side of the

91
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,560
service disconnect. Now again, other
people would would would would kind of go

92
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,600
in and say, well, what
about emergency disconnects. But he never said

93
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:38,800
anything about this being a dwelling is
at the basement of a building, So

94
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,480
I'm not going to speculate on any
other application. I'm not going to speculate

95
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,480
of grouping. I'm not going to
speculate whether there's more than one service to

96
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,399
a building. There's many of you
out there who will speculate I am.

97
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:54,079
I am not as a as an
expert in consulting. I have learned through

98
00:07:54,079 --> 00:08:01,120
the years that you you protect yourself
because you only comment on what is presented.

99
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:03,040
You do not speculate. Now,
you can do it in your real

100
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,240
world all you want, but when
you're giving advice to people, do not

101
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:13,040
elaborate on things that you do not
know. Unless you can give friendly advice

102
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,439
to some kind of strangling thing out
there that they need to make sure that

103
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,680
they do get right. I'm not
going to tell them how to install it.

104
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,279
I'm not telling what fittings to use. I'm not going to tell them

105
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:26,519
where to spond to install the system
bonding the supply side bonding jumper, for

106
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,920
example, inside the raceway, outside
the raceway. I am not getting in.

107
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,960
That's their choice. I'm just going
to tell them that they have to

108
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,639
do it. Okay, Now,
so that two foot peet, you obviously

109
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,840
are going to have to have to
maintain the integrity basically skipping over this FMC

110
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,519
so that it's almost like it's not
there when it comes to you know,

111
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:52,039
a condition where it all the bonding
is take place. So yes, you're

112
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:56,000
gonna have to put that supply side
bonding jumper in. You can put it

113
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,279
inside outside whatever that That choice is
really up to you to do that,

114
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,279
but yes, you would need to
do it. And say, now when

115
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:09,799
it comes to eccentric or concentric KOs, since you're doing service, then you

116
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:16,080
have to worry about the requirements in
two fifty ninety two. Okay, so

117
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:22,120
obviously if you have concentric eccentric KOSH, then you got to You can't use

118
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:26,080
a standard lock nut for the you
can for mechanical, but you cannot for

119
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,759
the integrity because those are considered impairments, unless, of course, your enclosure

120
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:39,679
is listed where those actual KOs are
rated for a voltage higher than say two

121
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:43,840
fifty vaults the ground. That type
of scenario, it's typically not what I

122
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,399
would see on a typical service enclosure, especially one that's got the concentric or

123
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,399
eccentric knockouts. Okay, so just
keep that in mind and all else fails.

124
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,480
If you're going to use all of
the your leave the concentric or eccentric

125
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,399
rings, additional rings in there,
then I would go on and put a

126
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,120
bombing jumper on that, and you'd
be honest with you, I'm not giving

127
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:09,200
any advice, but as long as
that supply side bombing jumpers has ran inside

128
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,519
and it's long enough and it's sized
properly, then you could bring it into

129
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,679
the panel, loop it through a
lay and lug that's on the actual bushing,

130
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:20,360
and then take it to the bus. But I'm not telling you how

131
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:28,840
to install it. Okay, I'm
not gonna be be doing that well,

132
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:35,320
but that's just just my take on
that. Okay. Let's see here and

133
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,919
it says and you're in the twenty
seventeen NEC Okay, it says service cable

134
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,639
three out copper tn thwn, x
HHW DAS two. It's not going to

135
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,360
be all three of those, so
most of the time it's probably gonna be

136
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:52,519
either THHHN THWN DASH two or it's
going to be XHHW DASH two. Probably

137
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,399
that just depends on which one you
want to run. That's that's up to

138
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,600
you. Lastly, it says,
my understanding is that I need to run

139
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:05,159
a AWG copper from the panel's main
neutral bar to the first bushing lay in

140
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:09,480
inside or outside of the FMC over
to the next bushing lane. I say,

141
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,799
if you want it to be totally
continuous like that, perfectly fine to

142
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:18,840
do that. And you're in as
far as sizing goes. If you're doing

143
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,879
this based on the fact that you've
got the three out, which is what

144
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,919
you would use in two fifty one
zero two. Uh. If you're doing

145
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,639
that, then you would look in
see since you only have the one race

146
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,559
way, so you're gonna be in
C one and so on the table it

147
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,679
looks like copper three out it would
be absolutely would be a four gage.

148
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,000
That's two table two fifty one H
two C one. Okay, So that's

149
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,960
the best advice I can give you
on that one. But it sounds like

150
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,120
but that last statement, it sounds
like you are on track for what I

151
00:11:54,159 --> 00:12:00,480
would do. Now for everybody says
that that what you have to worry about

152
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,440
is parallels things like that. Well, you remember, we can use the

153
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:09,639
neutral to bond all metal parts on
the supply side. If we want to

154
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:13,720
two fifty one forty two permits us
to do that. Okay, so you

155
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:18,840
know, keep keep that in mind, okay as well when you're when you're

156
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,480
thinking about ooh, these these things
that you can do on the supply side.

157
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,519
Okay, all right, let's see
here, oh see, okay,

158
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,000
see if we have another question.
Okay, So the next question we have

159
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:39,360
presented, says Paul. If if
suppose you are looking to build a meter

160
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:46,879
bank set up for three tenants using
two thirty forty exception number two allowance,

161
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:54,440
and you're looking to size the neutral, where do you differentiate the neutral size

162
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,960
between the overhead service conductors down to
the trough and the neutrals? You sply

163
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,960
to each smaller set of conductors that
go to each one hundred to one twenty

164
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,720
five amp meter. Is there any
way you can explain what note three on

165
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:18,159
the table two fifty one zero two
C one means when it says or equivalent

166
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,440
size of the largest ungrounded supply conductors
shall be determined by the largest sum of

167
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:30,600
the area of the corresponding conductors of
each set. What is the area referring

168
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,879
to? Is it are we measuring
a conductor? Yes, the area would

169
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:39,000
be the circular mills. Okay,
it says I would like I would think

170
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:45,240
that I size the initial overhead service
conductors that supply all three meters per the

171
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,200
calculated load, okay, and the
neutral conductor for this for each set would

172
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,000
be plucked from this table based on
the largest ungrounded conductor okay, to that

173
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,320
piece of equipment, to that service
equipment. Yes, but then we are

174
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,799
we still doing the same when we
drop the size of the wire from the

175
00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:09,840
splice in the trough to the feed
the meters? For example, would you

176
00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:15,200
just size your wire for the load
over current device to be used? If

177
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,919
I were if I were to install
one hundred ANP meters for all three and

178
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,559
one hundred anp main breakers for each
am I sizing my neutral based on the

179
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,759
one hundred and amp on grounded conductor? Or is Note three telling me to

180
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,440
calculate differently? Okay? So what
we've got to do is we're going to

181
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,639
go look at two fifty one zero
two C one and I will explain it

182
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:43,799
to you. So let me go
to two point fifty one zero two and

183
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:54,840
let's see here. Okay, all
right, so you're installing the application.

184
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,919
Oh first, let's go in and
look at your application. So your application

185
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,759
is two thirty forty exception number two. So let's go look at that first.

186
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:07,320
That way we we have a good
idea of what you're trying to construct

187
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:13,519
here, right, So we're going
to go to two thirty dotty. Hopefully

188
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:18,840
you got your codebooks you can follow
on, and we're looking at exception number

189
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,000
two. Okay, so exception number
two read it now. By the way,

190
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,919
for those that don't know what two
thirty dot forty is, this is

191
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,919
the number of service entrance conductor sets. So you have one service to a

192
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:33,720
building, but you are permitted,
for example, to make a connection to

193
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:37,399
that one service drop. Let's say
let's just use overhead drop or whatever that's

194
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,120
coming to a building. You're able
to tap onto that and go to different

195
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:48,559
service disconnects all grouped in one location, right, or they don't have to

196
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,879
be grouped in one location. You
could have this. An example of this

197
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,639
would be like an exception number one
where it says, okay, you're tapping

198
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:58,480
to it, and then that those
service entran conductors as long as they stay

199
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,480
outside of the building. Hell,
they could wrap around the building and then

200
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,559
the moment they go to that individual
dwelling unit, that's say, in a

201
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:07,720
multi family building, then you're limited
to up to six, okay, But

202
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,960
these conductors stay outside of the building, so you're okay to make a connection

203
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,759
to the service drop, let's say. And then as long as their service

204
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:21,120
interesance conductors are outside, they can
run around the building and then enter,

205
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,879
and then you have to meet all
the rules of nearest point of entry and

206
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:27,279
all that kind of stuff. But
that's that's an okay application. That's exception

207
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:33,879
number one. Exception number two to
this says, we're two to six service

208
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:37,840
disinictum means in separate enclosures, and
that's what he wants to do. Are

209
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,039
grouped in one location and they are
remember he said it was coming to a

210
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,360
trough and then underneath it you had
three one hund panels. Okay, it

211
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,360
says, and supply separate loads from
one service drop. So it is one

212
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:55,559
drop coming down into or one overhead
service conductors coming down into the trough and

213
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,480
then splicing onto it and then coming
down to three different undernap service disconnects.

214
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:04,000
That's what he said he's doing,
and that's what so far Exception number two

215
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:10,160
is allowing it says, so where
two to six service discim can means and

216
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,359
separate enclosures are grouped in one location
and supply separate loads from one service drop

217
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,799
one set of overhead service conductors,
which is what he's doing, set up

218
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:26,000
underground service conductors or service laterals.
One set of service in conductors shall be

219
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:33,079
permitted to supply each of several such
service equipment and closures. So what that's

220
00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:37,519
allowing me to do is to have
one drop splice onto that come down,

221
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:44,079
whether it's underground, whether or not
it's overhead or whatever. It's allowing me

222
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,480
to do that and have those three
right there grouped in that one location under

223
00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:55,160
that meter. So that's the exception
number two that he's doing. Now that

224
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,880
exception, by the way, is
to the rule that says you can only

225
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,279
have one set of service ins conductors. Obviously this is allowing me to have

226
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:08,559
what multiple sets, So typically they
originate in one location and then it separates

227
00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:12,400
out and hits up to six grouped
in one location. So that's exception number

228
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:18,440
two. So we've established that.
So now he's asking about the sizing the

229
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,799
ground to conductor. Now, first
thing is to remember the grounded conductor that's

230
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,079
coming from the service point of attachment
down. Okay, So in the moment

231
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,319
that it becomes part of the NEC, that point of attachment okay, not

232
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:36,200
the drop service drop that's outside of
our scope. That's the utility code.

233
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:41,000
But once if it's an overhead service
conductors, then it means that it transitioned

234
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:45,039
and so now it's under the NEEC. Or if it's from the point of

235
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:49,200
attachment down to that trough, that
is now under the NEEC. So it

236
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:55,200
has to be sized accordance to the
NEC. Now think about this. Your

237
00:18:55,279 --> 00:19:00,799
rules in two twenty dot sixty one
are going to tell us what that we

238
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:07,039
have to size based on what the
calculated load and it's and when it comes

239
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:11,759
to the neutral which is what that
deals with, is we're talking about what

240
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,359
to twenty dot sixty one tells me
that I'm going to size the servicer feeder

241
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:23,839
neutral for the maximum unbalanced load determined
by the Article two twenty calculation. So

242
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,880
we have to know what our neutral
loads are. We we have to know

243
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,839
that first right now. One of
the other things that we have to be

244
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,799
aware of is under two fifty we
have some minimum rules that we have to

245
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:40,599
follow as well, which pretty much
are not going to come into play,

246
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,640
but we will look at them just
so you kind of get an understanding.

247
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,759
So we're gonna go look at two
fifty dot twenty fours. We'll start there,

248
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,880
okay, and if you look into
that and let me move down here.

249
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:59,559
Actually, let's move Actually, we're
gonna look at D which is two

250
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:03,720
fifty twenty four D first, and
that says the grounded conductor that's bought to

251
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:07,480
the service. Okay, so we
have to have a grounded conductor brought to

252
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:12,839
the service, right, and then
what you'll see is it says the grounded

253
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,720
conductor shall be installed in accordance with
two fifty twenty four D one through D

254
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,519
four. Well, D one is
talking about the sizing, right, Okay,

255
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:26,440
so the ground is so the D
one says the ground and conductor shall

256
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,720
not be smaller than specified in table
two fifty one zero two C one.

257
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:34,400
So even if we've got to do
a load calculation, we already know that

258
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:41,480
the grounded conductor cannot be smaller than
what's in this table based on what the

259
00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:47,480
size of the ungrounded conductors. Okay, So in this scenario, if the

260
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,519
from the point of attachment down to
the troth. It has to be one

261
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:55,319
calculated on what's the unbalanced load it's
going to see, Well, it's going

262
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,519
to see the load from these three
hundred and panels. So it assumes to

263
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,519
us that we have to do a
load calculation for each one of these panels.

264
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:06,119
We have to know what it's going
to be serving. Now I've just

265
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,119
throw this out there. If there
are a hundred ant panels, then plausible

266
00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:12,920
they could serve one hundred amps,
not continuously, but one hundred ams.

267
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,759
Okay, So most people make their
design simple. If it's three to one

268
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:22,839
hundred an panels, then they will
size the conductors that are supply conductors based

269
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,200
on the possibility to the plausibility of
three hundred amps. Now, at the

270
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,519
end of the day, it's really
size based on your calculated load. Okay,

271
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:33,680
you have to know your loads.
So sometimes the loads would be much

272
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:37,640
less than what the panel can carry. But when we're talking about the neutral

273
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:44,200
conductor, once we establish the size
of those conductors from the point of attachment

274
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:49,119
to that troth which is going to
be handling all of the neutral loads across

275
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:55,640
those three panels, once we find
out what the actual calculation is for the

276
00:21:55,799 --> 00:21:59,839
service for all of these panels,
okay, and that's how you're going to

277
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,960
be sizing from the point of attachment
down to the to the trough. Once

278
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,759
we do that, then we take
those conductors and we've come over here and

279
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,279
we're looking at two fifty one zero
two C one And then of course,

280
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,720
depending on whether it's you know,
one OT, it would be a you

281
00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:18,480
know, a minimum grounded conductor would
be a six if it's one OT copper.

282
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,640
If it's four out aluminum, it's
a minimum of four. But here's

283
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:27,240
the thing that's at least it has
to be at least that size. Chances

284
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:32,960
are very highly probable that it's going
to be much larger than that. In

285
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:37,559
fact, if you're using se cable, for example, the grounded conductor is

286
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:44,079
not required to be is can be
up to two sizes smaller than the ungrounded

287
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,559
or hot conductors. So typically in
an sc cable you have four hot aluminum,

288
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,400
and then what happens is the neutral
will be equivalent to two ought because

289
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,920
there's a three ought in between it, and the neutral cannot be more than

290
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:03,920
two sizes smaller than the ungrounded conductors. And that's already done for us.

291
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,400
If you're you know the manufacturer takes
care of that. When it comes to

292
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:11,559
sc cable, it's already been done
for you. Okay, again, don't

293
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:15,400
confuse SEU and SCR. We're talking
like an SCU. That that that stranded

294
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:21,440
helical. It's equivalent to a two
lot when you gather everything together, that

295
00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:26,240
type of thing, and that's something
that's governed by the the UL standard UL

296
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:29,000
eight fifty four. It's already taken
care of for you. And if you're

297
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:32,400
running the individual conductors, then you
know that it can't be smaller from the

298
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,960
point of attachment down to that trough. It could not be smaller than whatever

299
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:44,359
the size of the conductors are that
are handling. The total ungrounded conductor's load

300
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:48,440
means you calculated those conductors have to
be based on the loads that are going

301
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,920
to be seen from all three panels. So you're going to have to take

302
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:56,799
a calculation from all three of these
panels summation, and then you're going to

303
00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:59,960
size your ungrounded conductor. Once you
size that on grounded conductor, then you

304
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:02,839
come to two fifty one zero two
see one, and it can't be smaller

305
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,680
than the table. However, you
still got to know what your neutral loads

306
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:14,799
are because obviously to twenty dot sixty
one said that the grounded conductor can has

307
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,079
to handle the maximum unbalanced load.
So that means you have to calculate what

308
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,799
your neutral loads are, and we
do that in our fast Tracks program,

309
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,160
uh and on our on our Wednesday
Night sessions, I go over how to

310
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,359
calculate loads and the neutral and so
you still got to do a calculation now

311
00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:34,599
the point where you make the connection, and remember these aren't feeder taps,

312
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,359
these are just taps to service conductors. The point that you make that connection

313
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,519
and you're now supplying each individual unit, then you're actually sizing the grounded conductor

314
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:51,880
again based on two fifty one zero
two c one, based on those ungrounded

315
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,599
conductors that's supplying the equipment. So
it can't be any smaller than what it

316
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,079
would be in two fifty one zero
two c one. Once you know what

317
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,000
those conductors are, and those conductors
were sized is hot conductors. They were

318
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,200
sized to handle whatever the load is
for that panel, that individual panel.

319
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:12,200
Okay, all right, make it
clear. So yes, you would size

320
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:21,000
as the grounded conductor that's going from
the tap down to the actual panel based

321
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,759
on the calculated load and the neutral
would be sized based on the maximum unbalanced

322
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:29,880
load, but knowing that it can't
be smaller than at least what's in two

323
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,920
fifty one zero two C one.
So that's a minimum size requirement. It's

324
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,200
probably going to be larger because you
have to do a load calculation in order

325
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,960
to achieve this. Now, lastly, you wanted me to explain what note

326
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,359
free was about. All right,
And for those that are not familiar,

327
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,440
if you look underneath table two fifty
one zero two, see one, you'll

328
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,960
see there's various notes. Now,
these are not informational notes. These are

329
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:02,920
very applicable notes. They are to
be always observed. We're applicable, and

330
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:07,279
they're not like an informational note,
which is just good information. These are

331
00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:10,160
mandatory. So number three, let
me read you what it says. It

332
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,400
says, if there's no service entrance
conductors, the supply conductor sizes shall be

333
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:21,799
determined by the equivalent size of the
largest service inter conductor required for the load

334
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,359
to be served. So you still
have to do a load calc Okay,

335
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,920
So these conductors could be coming in
and they're not service entrance conductors. They

336
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,720
may be service laterals that are coming
in under the building and then popping up

337
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:38,839
inside of a switch gear room.
So by the concept here, since its

338
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:47,079
table is based on what the basic
table is based on, the conductors being

339
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:52,279
what largest ungrounded conductors are equivalent in
parallel. So basically what you're trying to

340
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,039
do here is say, well,
you know what, they're not service entrance

341
00:26:56,039 --> 00:27:00,880
conductors, okay, but they are
supply conductors and when they come in to

342
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,079
the building in order to be able
to determine the sizing that we can use

343
00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:11,720
this table, then we basically just
treat them as if they're service intriconductors,

344
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:15,480
determine what our load calculation is.
And by the way, they could be

345
00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:18,960
service laterals coming in. That's outside
of the scope of the NEC when it

346
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,839
comes to sizing. So what this
means is you have to forget what the

347
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,160
utility may do. You get to
forget about it. What size would you

348
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:33,720
size them if you were doing this
on any C installation, And then once

349
00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:37,519
you establish the size you would need
for the loads in question, then you

350
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:41,680
would go and pick the conductor and
that's the conductor you're going to use to

351
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:47,759
go up here and use the table. So this little note is there to

352
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:52,440
help people when the utility may bring
the service lateral in and they might have

353
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:55,920
something that's like a frickin' one OT
and you're like, damn, the NEC

354
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,480
says it has to be a four
OT. How do they get away with

355
00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,960
that? Well, they can't because
that's the utility and they based it on

356
00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:04,920
other historical data and uses and all
that kind of stuff. So you're thinking,

357
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,079
well, I can't use that with
this table. So what the Note

358
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:14,400
three is telling you to do is, hey, pretend like they're service conductors

359
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:18,319
there, and you would size them. Ignore what's there. You determine what

360
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,960
size conductors you would need to handle
the load calculation. Just like I just

361
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:27,640
explained a minute ago. You have
to figure out what size they would need

362
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,079
to be, and then forget about
what the utility brought you underground. Pretend

363
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:38,960
that they're service entrance conductors that you
sized and pick the conductor, and then

364
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,480
you go to two fifty one zero
two C one. That's what the Note

365
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,599
three is trying to depict, because
again, you could have applications where they're

366
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:53,759
not service entrance conductors coming in.
Okay, so anyway hopefully that you know

367
00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:59,960
makes sense to you. So basically, if they're not service entrance conductor,

368
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,920
the service later ules. Forget what
size utility did Okay, forget about it.

369
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:11,839
Try to determine what size service conductors
you would have to have based on

370
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:18,440
your load calculation, and then use
that size to use the table. Ignore

371
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,599
what the utility brought to you.
Okay, that's what Note three is trying

372
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,240
to do. Okay, hopefully that
makes sense to you. If I didn't,

373
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,599
what do I always say? Just
let me know what episode it is,

374
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,400
and all you got to do is
go to Paul Abernethy dot com and

375
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,680
just kind of give me a summary
of what the question was, what you

376
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,279
want clarity on, let me know
what code socle you're working on, and

377
00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:45,359
then post your question. I'm not
going to go back and listen to the

378
00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:51,119
entire podcast, So give me a
good summary of what you're really asking or

379
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,240
what you might have heard, and
I will make it clear and then we

380
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,960
can move on from that. Okay, But in your question, none of

381
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,680
the example in two thirty forty exception
number two, or none of the first

382
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,319
part of your question that you ask
has anything to do with Note three,

383
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,839
by the way, Okay, all
right, hopefully that answers your question.

384
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:15,440
So see if that'll be it for
today, or it'll see if I got

385
00:30:15,559 --> 00:30:19,000
the other one that Darlene has me
scheduled to take care of. All right,

386
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:22,440
I got a quick one. Here's
the last question that Darlene has pointed

387
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,440
out for me today. It says, Hello, I am the Michigan Electrician

388
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:32,440
looking to take my Journeyman test again. I was wondering what study material you

389
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:38,279
could recommend Michigan still testing on the
twenty seventeen NEC. Unfortunately I cannot afford

390
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:42,759
your material, but I do have
a codebook and a few books on electrical

391
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:48,799
theory and material as well as grounding
and bonding. Any help would be greatly

392
00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:52,200
appreciated. Thanks. Okay, I
cannot help your financial situation. Sometimes you

393
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:57,279
have to invest in yourself, and
you know what, that's why we came

394
00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:00,400
out with some more cost effective type
programs. But you are on the twenty

395
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,079
seventeen and we do not have a
basic or enhanced version for that. All

396
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:07,319
we have is the Black or the
Plus, which is more expensive. So

397
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,640
what I'm going to recommend you do
is to go and get a subscription to

398
00:31:11,759 --> 00:31:19,119
fasttrackstube dot com and start watching our
videos, start watching our recordings of our

399
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,720
exam prep night. Also as a
member of Fasttracks Tube, it's ninety nine

400
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,000
bucks. If you can't afford ninety
nine bucks, I can't help you.

401
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,480
As a member of Fasttracks Tube,
you also get to join us every two

402
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:34,440
weeks on Wednesday Nights, where you
can ask your questions, where you can

403
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:38,880
interact with us, where you can
enjoy lessons that I give from time to

404
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,920
time. Last week I think I
did transformers, Primary and Secondary Protection,

405
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:48,880
Secondary conductors, ten foot twenty five
foot rule, talked about all that even

406
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,240
little tidbits that you can pull out
from there really do benefit you. So

407
00:31:53,559 --> 00:31:56,559
again I tell everybody out there,
if you can't afford our courses and you're

408
00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:01,400
studying, even if you're studying somebody
else. Sometimes it's visual helps a lot

409
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:07,720
of people. So getting a subscription
to our video platform and also gives you

410
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,400
access to the Wednesday Nights every two
weeks. We do Wednesday Nights unless they're

411
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:15,200
canceled for some reason, and it
allows you to sit in fly on the

412
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,000
wall. You can ask questions.
We're in a friendly environment, no questions,

413
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:23,799
dumb question you can ask. It's
a great gathering of friends, everybody

414
00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:30,480
talking code and I answer those questions, and it's included in the ninety nine

415
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,680
dollars annual subscription. It's included,
folks, I don't know anywhere else.

416
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:37,720
For ninety nine bucks. You can
get access to me every two weeks on

417
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:40,279
Wednesday, ask your questions, and
a closed environment so you don't have to

418
00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:44,640
worry about people belittling you or whatever, and it's not going to happen.

419
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,680
It's a learning environment, okay.
And when you do that, you get

420
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,519
access to our video platform, and
we have a lot of videos on there,

421
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:59,319
and the Just Calculation series is coming
out in two weeks. That is

422
00:32:59,359 --> 00:33:02,400
the only platform you're gonna be able
to see our video on that. Plus

423
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:07,039
I've got an eight hour video on
calculations over there. I got a twelve

424
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:10,000
hour video on grinding and bonding,
a four part series. I've got a

425
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:15,400
seven, seven or eight part series
on pools, spas and hot tubs over

426
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,440
there that you should watch. I
have a video over there on a webinar

427
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:24,640
that we did for secondary conductors and
ten foot twenty five foot rule and primary

428
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,920
secondary protection. Jeez, it's worth
it alone for just one of the videos

429
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,680
over there. So if my advice
to you is to get that subscription.

430
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,559
Fork up the ninety nine bucks.
It'll be the best ninety nine bucks you

431
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,680
ever invested. You get access to
the platform, you get access to Wednesday

432
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,640
nights. And that's the best advice
I can give you. Okay, and

433
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,960
oh oh so, the only other
advice I can give you is find yourself

434
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:58,160
a good category of practice questions.
And they don't all have to be sterling,

435
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:07,640
but find you some and basically find
them and go over them and really

436
00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:10,400
hone in on it and get used
to dissecting a question. Don't be in

437
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,199
such a hurry to answer a question. I've tell this to everybody out there.

438
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:20,119
Don't get you one hundred question database
or whatever at two hundred question database

439
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,039
and try to answer them all so
quickly. That is not the goal of

440
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:28,679
studying for an exam. The goal
is to take your time on each question.

441
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,960
Pull out your clock if you want
to time yourself, wait until the

442
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:35,760
last two weeks before you take an
exam. But up until that time,

443
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,000
if it takes you ten minutes to
answer a question, that is okay,

444
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:45,039
folks, Okay, I tell people
this all the time. Do not listen

445
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:49,519
to educators that give you this bullshit
about getting timed quizz and trying to do

446
00:34:49,559 --> 00:34:52,679
them as quickly. That does not
help you. All that does is elevate

447
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:58,280
the stress. Take a question,
beat the question to death. Use your

448
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,000
index, use your table of contents, look up every word, find out

449
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:06,280
what could have gotten you the answer. It's going to be your way of

450
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,039
what I call the poor man's way
of studying for an exam. Don't be

451
00:35:10,159 --> 00:35:15,199
so quick to just answer questions in
a database. You paid good money for

452
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:20,280
it. Use it, milk it. Extract everything you can get from the

453
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,679
question so that it not only helps
you answer the question, but let you

454
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,800
learn what's in the index, let
you learn what's in the table of contents.

455
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,519
It helps you in your maneuvering skills
back and forth, because I can

456
00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:34,440
tell you right now, if you're
not familiar with using the index and going

457
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,599
back and forth, you can be
very slow. But the more you practice

458
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:40,239
this, this is why our programs
are fast tracks programs. We use these

459
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:45,400
chevrons. It's to pull you from
the course into the NEC, back to

460
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,360
the course, back to the NEC. If you think that I'm just doing

461
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,159
that, it's being done for a
reason. It's to help you move back

462
00:35:54,199 --> 00:35:59,039
and forth. And whether you know
it or not. We're subconsciously trying to

463
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,800
get you more comfortable with moving in
and out of the codebook. That's the

464
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,320
whole purpose of why we do it. Okay, all right, so good

465
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,519
luck. Hopefully you'll you say again. So that means by the time you

466
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:13,960
probably always tell this to people,
by the time you fail some exams and

467
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,480
pay the fees, you probably could
have gotten a course and then pass it

468
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:21,400
the first time and you would have
actually learned something in the process, and

469
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,079
that goes a long way. There's
a difference between just passing a test and

470
00:36:24,199 --> 00:36:29,360
actually learning something, and that's where
structured programs come into play. All right,

471
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,719
folks, that's it for this Let's
ask Paul for this week. So

472
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,719
if again, if you have any
questions that you want to submit to me,

473
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,639
all you got to do is go
to Paul Abernathy dot com. Yes

474
00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:44,320
it's still there, it's still active, it's still sponsored by Wicks, and

475
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,440
you get to ask me any question
you want on the National Leuntric Code.

476
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,159
Just be sure to let me know
the code cycle that you're working out of.

477
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,559
Be very descriptive in your question,
because I'm only going to answer what

478
00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:57,599
you give me as a question.
Until next time folks stay, say God

479
00:36:57,599 --> 00:37:24,719
bless both askball boot both, ask
both Aska Nohing.
