1 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,439 What Up? What Up? Everybody? Welcome to another episode of Let's Ask 2 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,240 Paul. My name is Paul Avananth, your host, and welcome to master 3 00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:48,479 the nc's podcast as well. Um, thanks for listening, Thanks for making 4 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,560 it another amazing month that we had so many downloads. It's just incredible. 5 00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,679 So far now we've had millions and millions of plays. People have shared the 6 00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:03,880 podcasts. And remember you can listen to these podcasts on any of your favorite 7 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,959 listening platforms Spotify, Spreeker, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts. 8 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,239 I like Spotify, but you also can listen to our mobile app as 9 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:18,599 well, in case you didn't know that, if you get our mobile app, 10 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,959 which is at www dot nccchat dot com, it's free, doesn't cost 11 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,599 you anything. As a bunch of tools on there, a bunch of calculators 12 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,680 and whatnot, and we're always adding new stuff there. And if you know 13 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,040 of any tool out there on the Internet that you want to add, so 14 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:34,560 it's convenient and easy to get too from the app, just let us know. 15 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,159 We'll be more than happy to integrate it into the app and it'll automatically 16 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:42,560 start working on your app. You don't have to do anything. That's the 17 00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:47,200 beautiful thing about these PWA apps is you don't have to do anything with them. 18 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,879 You just boom, you open your phone, you click the icon, 19 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:55,120 and everything's there. So that's a beautiful thing. All right. So we 20 00:01:55,239 --> 00:02:00,000 have a question that what's submitted in today from a student. He let me 21 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,599 know in the submittal. Oh and by the way, you can also submit 22 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,520 questions to me at Paul Abernathy dot com. It's pretty simple portal it is 23 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,400 doesn't cost you anything, right, you just put your name in their email 24 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,479 address and ask your question. I will do my best to answer your question. 25 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,159 Now, a lot of times I'll answer those questions directly back to you 26 00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:24,479 in an email, and then sometimes you have some that are selected for use 27 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:30,840 in a podcast, much like today's podcast. And also if you're listening to 28 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,039 this for the first time, stick around. I have some announcements that I 29 00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:38,560 want to give towards the end of this podcast about the new twenty twenty three 30 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,520 that's coming out and some of the other things you might notice about all the 31 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,400 videos you're going to start coming out for the twenty twenty three As we get 32 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,199 ready to drop the twenty twenty three edition of the fast Tracks program. But 33 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,800 I've got some other things I want to talk about at that point. But 34 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,719 let's get into today's topic because I know that's what you came here for. 35 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:01,759 UM. So, this question was sent in to me, A says Paul. 36 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,080 Can you explain room air conditioner receptacles, whether or not it's fed from 37 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,639 an individual brand circuit or it's on a circuit with other things like receptacles and 38 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,800 lighting units and whatnot. I'd love to hear your take on it. Thanks 39 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,560 again for all you do and I love your podcast. Okay, well, 40 00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:27,080 thanks for listening. Um thanks for tuning in to the podcasts um. So, 41 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,159 So, what this person is sending in about is a room air condition 42 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,840 receptacle. U. Yeah, most houses a day are going to have central 43 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,439 air or something that that nature. But if you're going to be running a 44 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,560 receptacle dedicated, let's say for a room air conditioner, you have choices, 45 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:46,159 right, you can. You can put an individual brand circuit fifteen or triamph 46 00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:53,240 Let's say you're run into this dedicated receptacle for this air conditioner. UM or 47 00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,199 maybe the receptacle is on a circuit that's supplying other things like other receptacle goes 48 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,319 in the room, maybe lighting loads or maybe even appliance. Maybe you're also 49 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:08,039 supplied. So how does that work? So we're gonna look at that today 50 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,680 in this episode. So hopefully if you've got your codebook, or you're if 51 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,840 you're just going down the road and you don't have your codebook, don't worry. 52 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,319 I'll will paraphrase for it and kind of give you some code references so 53 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,040 you can make a mental note about it, and then when you get finished 54 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,000 or wherever you're at, you can grab your codebook. Maybe you've got link 55 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600 on your phone and you can just simply pull it up and look at these 56 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,040 code references and always come back and listen to the podcast again to certain parts 57 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,160 that you may need. All right, So number one, let's look at 58 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,439 it this way. Now. If we're going to supply this receptacle okay, 59 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:46,480 for this room air conditioning unit okay, And if it's supplied by an individual 60 00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:50,600 brand circuit, say it's fifteen or twenty AM brand circuit, then the rating 61 00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:55,560 because this air conditioning unit, you know, sits in the window, it's 62 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,240 cordon plug connected. So the cordon plug connected room air condit ser can be 63 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:08,160 no more than eighty percent of these circuits ampere rating. All right, So 64 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,800 now where does that eighty percent come from? Because you've heard people say, 65 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,199 well, okay, why can't I just put if it's twenty amps, why 66 00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:19,399 can't I just put twenty amps on it? So where does all this come 67 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,839 from? Well, if you got your codebooks, the first place we're gonna 68 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,720 look. We're gonna look at two places here. But the first thing I 69 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:29,000 want you to do is go to two ten and now two ten being brand 70 00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,680 circuits. So obviously we're working out a brand circuit because we're talking about an 71 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,600 individual brand circuit to this receptacle for this room air conditioning unit. So we're 72 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,560 taking at two ten dot twenty three B one. Okay, so that's where 73 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,680 we want to go first. Now you're probably thinking, Paul, isn't this 74 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:53,319 two ten dot twenty three A one? Well, there you go. There's 75 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,160 a difference here for the twenty twenty three edition of the National Electrical Code. 76 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,879 In the twenty twenty three edition, it's now we're call according plug connected equipment 77 00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:04,120 that is not fascinate in place, and of course that room air conditioner would 78 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,439 not be fascinate in place. Now you're going to be going to ten dot 79 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,759 twenty three and instead of going to A one, you're now going to go 80 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,199 to B one. Okay. So again for all you out there who ask 81 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,439 about code changes, Okay, we had a little bit of a code change. 82 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:25,240 Now why do we have this code change? Well, because we had 83 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,560 to make room for applications for ten amp branch circuits. Okay. Now granted 84 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:36,199 there's really none to be had out there, but there has been made room 85 00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:41,560 for it in the NEC. So now to ten dot twenty three A one 86 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:46,120 and A two. That's dealing with ten amp brand circuits. So we're gonna 87 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,079 still deal with our traditional and the person that submitted it's question was about a 88 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,079 fifteen or twenty amp brand circuits. So just know that that's a slight change. 89 00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:58,879 So you hear me talking, I'm talking about the twenty twenty three edition 90 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,040 of the ANEC. Okay, so same verbiage pretty much, but we want 91 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,639 to make sure we know there is a difference in the code. So I'm 92 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,800 at two ten dot twenty three B one and here's what it says. It 93 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:17,720 says Cordon plug connected equipment not fastened in place. It says the rating of 94 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:27,160 any one Cordon plug connect utilization equipment not fastened in place shall not exceed eighty 95 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,600 percent of the brand circuit rating. Okay, so you're not going to exceed. 96 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,600 If this is a twenty brand circuit, then you're not going to the 97 00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:40,879 actual. In this case, the room air conditioner is not going to exceed 98 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,360 eighty percent. So if it's a twenty AM, then what you've got is 99 00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:48,600 it is you look at the name plate. It can exceed sixteen amps. 100 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,000 Okay, that's going to be eighty percent of the twenty AM, all right, 101 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,759 And again the same if it was a fifteen So if it was a 102 00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:01,879 fifteen times eighty percent, it can't be more than twelve amps. Okay. 103 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,839 Now, most of those little portable movable room air conditioners are probably not going 104 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,720 to pull anywhere near that. But again it's just things that you have to 105 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:16,519 be aware of, especially if you're going to run a circuit for some client 106 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,040 of yours wants you to put a receptacle for a window unit. Yeah, 107 00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:22,480 in the house, it probably wouldn't happen, but maybe they have. You 108 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,120 run a circuit up in the attic and they're finishing it off and they're putting 109 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,800 a window unit up there. Because again it's not finished off. The rest 110 00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:35,600 of the house was, and it had maybe central air or something, but 111 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,039 maybe it just behooves them better to just put a little window unit up there 112 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,440 in the room. So you have to understand, are you going to put 113 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,720 it on the branch circuit that's already there, just give a receptacle close to 114 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,840 the location, or are you going to run an individual brand circuit up there? 115 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,480 And I guess a lot of this is going to depend on what the 116 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,240 load is of the air conditioners, So you got to ask those questions, 117 00:08:54,279 --> 00:09:00,080 right, all right. So that's what we've got for the again, and 118 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,600 it's not fascinating place, but it is cord and plug connected right all right. 119 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,039 So that's what we've got there. Now. One of the other things 120 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:13,000 that we want to look at here also is four forty dot sixty two B. 121 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,840 Okay, So we've already established the eighty percent for this room air conditioning 122 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:22,639 unit, which is utilization equipment, and it is going to be limited to 123 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,080 eighty percent of the brand circuit rating. And remember the rating of the brand 124 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,360 circuit is whatever the rating is of a breaker. Okay, that's what that 125 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,919 is, all right. So let's real quick, if you got your codebooks. 126 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:35,120 If not, don't worry, I'll read it to you. We're gonna 127 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:39,519 go to four forty dot sixty two. B. Why because four or forty 128 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,600 does deal with air conditioning. So we want to see what it says up 129 00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:48,440 there. So let's go look. Okay, So in four forty dot sixty 130 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,720 two, we have a which is room air conditioners as a single motor unit, 131 00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:56,559 and that's what you're going to be dealing with. And it says a 132 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,440 room air conditioners shall be considered as a single motor unit it and determining its 133 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,360 brand circuit requirements where all the following conditions are met. Okay. Number one, 134 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,440 it's a chord and attachment plug connected. Okay, so yeah, it's 135 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:15,200 just a standard A window air conditioner portable one you buy comes with an a 136 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,840 chord an attachment plug one. Okay. Check. It says it's rating is 137 00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:24,240 not more than forty ampiers and two hundred and fifty volts single phase. Okay, 138 00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:28,799 so we want to make sure we double check that. Now again, 139 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,000 I will tell you in this scenario, the forty amps is going to put 140 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:39,600 us way over our fifteen or twenty A brand circuit application, right, But 141 00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:46,000 again This just says that the rating is not more than forty ampiers and twenty 142 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,360 fifty volts single phase. Right. Third okay, and it's notice this says 143 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:56,440 not more than forty am piers. Okay, so brand circuits being relevant, 144 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,000 if it's twenty at brand circuit of fifteen at brands or whatnot. Again, 145 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,759 it's just here. It's just saying it can't be more than forty amp years 146 00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,360 and it can't be more than two hundred fifty volts. Okay. Probably not 147 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:13,159 going to be that way for a typical room air conditioner, Okay, but 148 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,720 I'm not going to say never because I know somebody will sit there and say, 149 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,919 oh, I've got one. It's you know, some amp weird amp 150 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,799 rating. But anyway, that's what it's just saying. Number three, it 151 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:31,639 says the rated load current is shown on the room air conditioner nameplate rather than 152 00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:37,399 individual motor currents. Okay, So the total rated load current is actually going 153 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,600 to be on the little nameplate of the room air conditioner. It's got to 154 00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,840 be on there to qualify and most of the ones you're going to buy, 155 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,399 the window units are going to be standardized with the nameplate. And then lastly 156 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,360 for says, the rating of the brand circuit, short circuit ground fault protection 157 00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:03,200 device does not exceed the ampacity of the branch circuit or the rating of the 158 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,679 receptacle, whichever is less. Okay, So this is just reminding us here 159 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,159 that the short circuit and ground fault protection the breaker, to be honest with 160 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:15,960 your or fuse that we're working, it can't exceed the ampacity of whatever the 161 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,480 brand circuit is. So if we're dealing with a twenty am brand circuit, 162 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,960 okay, then it can't exceed that, okay, or rating of the receptacles. 163 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,679 So whatever the rating or rating of the receptacle twenty am and it can't 164 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,559 exceed that. And they should pretty much go together. But it's just kind 165 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,080 of setting up some ground rules for you that what they can exceed. So 166 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,879 in a real world, again, it's not going to be a big deal. 167 00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:43,360 It's usually going to be if you select the nameplate, you know it's 168 00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,320 a twenty am circuit, you're gonna put it on a twenty am breaker that 169 00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:50,279 type of thing. Right now, what you have to be careful is what 170 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,240 we saw and read earlier. All Right, it cannot exceed eighty percent for 171 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,960 the branch circuit for the cordon plug. So all these things have to be 172 00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:05,639 taken into consideration. So four forty is giving some of its own rules, 173 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,879 kind of some guidelines telling you what you're not to exceed, YadA, YadA, 174 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:13,879 YadA. All right, but you got to remember the branch circuit requirements. 175 00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:18,879 If it is cordon plug and it's not fixed, then again you're gonna 176 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,120 be limited to eighty percent, right, so keep that in mind. Now, 177 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:26,759 the references. The real target reference here is two ten dot twenty three 178 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,240 B one for the twenty twenty three. It's two ten dot twenty three A 179 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,240 one for the twenty twenty version. Okay, so we don't get lost. 180 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,240 I just wanted to throw you an extra full forty reference so you can see 181 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,240 it definitely does talk about the branch circuit which you're not to exceed and give 182 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:46,360 you some ground rules up in four forty dot sixty two A four room air 183 00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:52,399 conditioners. Okay, so that's kind of just why we wanted to kind of 184 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,559 throw it out at you so you could see that right now. It also 185 00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:00,840 goes on in full forty dot sixty two and gets you a B in a 186 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:05,399 C and these B and EC are kind of kind of mirror what we saw 187 00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:09,879 down in two ten dot twenty three. Okay, so what does B say. 188 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:13,159 Remember we're still up in four forty dot sixty two, folks. B 189 00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,080 says, where no other outlets are supplied, So we're talking about that that 190 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:20,840 individual brand circuit. The only receptacle it's supplying is the one for this room 191 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:26,360 air conditioner, right, and it says, the total marked current rating of 192 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:31,759 a chord and attachment plug connective room air conditioner shall not exceed eighty percent of 193 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,159 the rated current of the brand circuit where no other outlets are supplied. Right, 194 00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:45,200 So a little different because in two ten dot twenty three B one it 195 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,279 says eighty percent, but it's talking about fixed utilzation equipment. That's that's not 196 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:56,000 fixed in place. Here, it's more specific about the room air conditioning unit, 197 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,879 saying, look, if it's cord and plug attachment and it's not, 198 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,559 the room air conditioners shall not exceed eighty percent of whatever the rating is of 199 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,720 that brand circuit. So when you're selecting your air conditioner and you need to 200 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,200 know the circuits you're going to put it on. If your circuit's already there, 201 00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:13,720 let's say you ran one already at twenty m. Then this is going 202 00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:20,440 to impact the type of room air conditioner that can be used here, not 203 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,480 something that you can control all the time as an electrician. You know, 204 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:26,960 once you're done, you put it in and you leave, somebody plugs something 205 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,919 else in. You know, it's hey, but that's it is what it 206 00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:33,919 is. That's you can't be held accountable for what other people do, right, 207 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,519 So that's where you have no other loads. Now I'm going to jump 208 00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:43,759 back again because I want to make sure we jump back before I jump here. 209 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:46,320 And of course I am going to come back here again. Why am 210 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,960 I going to come back here again? Because fourty sixty two C says we're 211 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:56,120 lighting units or other appliances are also supplied. So this might be where you're 212 00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:02,480 not running a dedicated receptacle for this window unit. There's other receptacles that are 213 00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:07,440 on this circuit, maybe even other appliances that may be also supplied by this 214 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,840 circuit. And then that means the code is going to be even more restrictive 215 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,720 on that room air conditioner that you can put on that circuit. So let's 216 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,279 go and look at that. So we're gonna go back, Okay, I 217 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,600 hate to run you back and forth because we could read right here on see 218 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,399 while we're already here, but that's just not how I work. So we're 219 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:30,519 gonna go back and we're gonna look at two ten to twenty three B one 220 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200 and for those who are in the twenty twenty edition, that's two ten to 221 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,440 twenty three A two. Right, So I said B one, but actually 222 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,559 we're gonna go look at two ten to twenty three B two and two ten 223 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,519 dot twenty three A two if you're in the twenty twenty edition of the NBC. 224 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:52,279 Okay, So let's hop on back to brand's circuits real quick, all 225 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:56,279 right. So we're back here, and if you've got your code books, 226 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,000 we're at two ten twenty three and we're looking to be two right now. 227 00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,599 Now. If you're in the twenty twenty it's two ten to twenty three A 228 00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:08,880 two. And this is where you see to talk about the fifty percent and 229 00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:14,359 what that is all about. Okay, all right, so let's kind of 230 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,279 look at it real quick now. I want you to understand that this does 231 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,200 not apply the one we're going to talk about fifty percent here. This doesn't 232 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,319 apply if you have hardwired products you know other appliances okay, that are not 233 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,960 that are fastened in place. Okay, this is not going to apply to 234 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,880 that, right, So I want to keep that in mind. If if 235 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,400 I had a brand circuit, and the brand circuit is applying only items that 236 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,359 are fastened in place, okay, Let's say like a dishwasher and a garbage 237 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:47,880 disposer, and I'm running a twenty amp circuit for that, and provided the 238 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,160 size of each one of those was okay, neither of those appliances would be 239 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,559 restricted to fifty percent. Okay. Well, now the combined load of the 240 00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:02,599 two appliances, now, obviously that can't exceed twenty amp years okay, because 241 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,079 they're fastened in place and they're fixed appliances, and so this rules aren't going 242 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,960 to apply, okay, So I just want to get that out of the 243 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,920 way up front. Now, what does this rule apply to. So let's 244 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,799 look at it. We have our room air conditioners, okay, same as 245 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:21,839 usual. And here's what B two says. It says, and again we're 246 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,119 talking fifteen or twenty brand circuit right now. It says utilization equipment fastened in 247 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:33,559 place. It says the total rating of utilization equipment fastened in place other than 248 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:41,480 luminaires shall not exceed fifty percent of the brand circuit amperating where lighting units, 249 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:45,599 cordon plug connected utilization equipment not fastened in place or both are also supplied. 250 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:52,440 All right, why is that important? Well, if I'm not dealing with 251 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:59,480 if all I'm doing is running it to this fastening place appliance, but it 252 00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:03,440 also is on the same brand circuit that maybe has lighting on it. Right, 253 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,519 there's nothing that says that I can't put lighting on as well in a 254 00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:12,640 living room, for example, on with the receptacles. There's nothing we do 255 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,799 that all the time. We go around the room, we pop up and 256 00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:18,680 we hit the switch, and we do lighting, ceiling fans. All that 257 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,039 can be on one brand circuit. We're not getting into your practice of what 258 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,359 you may or may not do, but the code permits that it's okay. 259 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,839 Right, So, let's say I do have this utilization of equipment that is 260 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,440 fastened in place, and of course, at that point, let's say that 261 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:44,359 brand circuit does supply other loads, other cord and plug connected utilization equipment that 262 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,559 happens to be not fastened in place. Let's say, well, if that's 263 00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:53,000 the case, then the appliance that is fastened in place is going to be 264 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:59,680 limited to fifty percent. Right, So, where other receptacles, lighting units, 265 00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:03,359 or clients are also supplied on this brand circuit, the rating of the 266 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:10,319 cordon plug connected room air conditioner shall not exceed fifty percent of the brand circuit 267 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,920 amp' rating for a fifteen or twenty brand circuit. And that tells us that 268 00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:19,759 now again, don't confuse that with feeding two separate, fixed in place appliances 269 00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:25,200 that this rule is not going to apply to that. Okay, I could 270 00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:27,960 have as long as it combined don't exceed twenty amps. If it's a twenty 271 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,759 amp circuit, then that's okay. That is not going to be an issue. 272 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,279 And some people get this rule confused. I think I did a blog 273 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:42,799 on this back on our website quite a while ago. People were people were 274 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,559 confused with this. But again, if I have a twenty AM brand circuit 275 00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:51,680 and I'm supplying a waste disposer which is fixed in place, and a dishwasher 276 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,599 which is fixed in place, neither one of those appliances are going to be 277 00:20:55,599 --> 00:21:00,480 restricted to fifty percent. They just can't exceed twenty amps because it's twenty amp 278 00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:07,119 circuit, but they're not going to be restricted, right, So we're talking 279 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:14,160 about something that is fastened in place, but that same brand circuit also supplies 280 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,039 other, say, receptacles that would allow cord and plug right those type of 281 00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:23,960 things. That's where you have a problem. And then that's going to push 282 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,359 the appliances like the room air condition in our case, to be reduced to 283 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,400 fifty percent. Okay, so you just have to be careful if you're putting 284 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,519 it on with an existing brand circuit that allows other receptacles to plug things into 285 00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:41,279 it. And you said, I'll just put this air conditioner here and oop, 286 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:45,920 there's a receptacle based on my six and twelve layout is already a receptacle 287 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,559 right there. That's fine. Well, then you have to be real careful 288 00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:55,160 because at that point your room air conditioner can't exceed fifty percent of whatever that 289 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,519 brand circuit is. So it probably behooves you to run an individ your brand 290 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:06,960 circuit to it. And in this case, it really doesn't matter when it 291 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,640 comes to this one either because to be honest with you, this is dealing 292 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,920 with utilization equipment that's fastened in place, and your room air conditioners not going 293 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,279 to be fastened in place, but it is still a great lesson to go 294 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,319 over and make sure that you understand the concepts of what we're doing here. 295 00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:29,680 If any of that's confusing to a quick summary, if your room air conditioners 296 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,839 corden plug connected, it's an individual brand circuit, then the rating of the 297 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,200 room air conditioner can't exceed eighty percent of the brand circuit rating. Okay, 298 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,720 that's if it's a cordon plug connected equipment not fastened in place, that's probably 299 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:47,240 what you're going to have. B two is talking about utilization equipment that is 300 00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:49,599 fastened in place, which would not be your room air conditioner by the way, 301 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,920 but it means basically to cover it. If you did have a piece 302 00:22:53,960 --> 00:23:00,720 of utilization equipment that's fastened in place, right, but it also supplies other 303 00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:03,839 receptacles, for example, that other things cordon plug would be connected into it, 304 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:10,079 then it's not really just for that fascinating place utilization equipment, is it. 305 00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:14,440 And if that's the case, and people in that circuit is supplying other 306 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,960 receptacles for cordon plug and whatnot, then you're going to be limited to the 307 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,359 room air conditioner would only be limited to fifty percent of whatever the branch circuit 308 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:32,079 is Okay, so that's a big drop. So I'm probably not going to 309 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,359 lay that out for me to put that on the general You know, if 310 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,160 I'm doing an attic or loft and it's a rough end, you know, 311 00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:41,920 it's an existing house and maybe they're finishing off the upstairs, I'm not going 312 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,160 to just run one branch circuit around to cover the receptacles and they might not 313 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,799 get a lot of use. Right, might be just an open space. 314 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,519 But the moment that I put that room air conditioner in and I plan on 315 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,200 plugging it into those receptacles, I have to make sure that that the room 316 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,720 air conditioner that gets plugged into that is not going to be the rating is 317 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,079 not going to be more than fifty percent of the brand circuit. Why, 318 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,519 because of the other cordon plug opportunities on that brand circuit. That would be 319 00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:11,400 a problem. Okay, So it's just things that you need to think about, 320 00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,799 especially with your client, because your client's just like, I just throw 321 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,440 me some receptacles in. Oh, I might put a window unit in, 322 00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:21,440 Just throw me a receptacle right there beside it. Okay, Well, maybe 323 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,240 that won't be a big deal if you did everything in twenty amp and fifty 324 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,799 percent that is ten amps, and they're getting an air condition to a unit 325 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:30,519 that's eight amps, and that's no big deal. Sadly, you don't know 326 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:33,279 what they're gonna get, so you just need to think about that when you're 327 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:37,680 wiring it, and you need to have that conversation. Okay, all right, 328 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,400 so that kind of covered that. Now I did want to jump back 329 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:47,480 up to show you that this is covered well also up in sixty two C. 330 00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:49,720 So let's go back. You should have a firm grasp for what we 331 00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:53,960 talked about here when it comes to cordon plug connected equipment not fastened in place, 332 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,680 and then of course utilization equipment fastened in place. We're just using a 333 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:02,079 room air conditioner as that exa. But let's go look at full forty dot 334 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,279 sixty two C and kind of finish that up, all right, So fourty 335 00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:14,119 at sixty two C says we're lighting units or other appliances are also supplied. 336 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,240 Okay, So remember this is under a full forty dot sixty two So this 337 00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:23,480 is brand circuit requirements, right, and we're talking about let's kind of read 338 00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:26,359 what it says, and we're talking about room air conditioners, by the way, 339 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:33,759 So it says the total marked current rating of a court and attachment plug 340 00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:40,160 connected room air conditioner shall not exceed fifty percent of the current rating of the 341 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:48,400 brand circuit where lighting outlets are the repliances or general use receptacles are also supplied. 342 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,559 So doesn't that say it really well? When it comes to room air 343 00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,640 conditioners, you got to remember that the use of two ten dot twenty three 344 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,279 B two and B one isn't really specific to room air conditioner. It's broader 345 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:06,880 than just room air conditioners. So here in four forty dot sixty two we 346 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,920 get a little more guidance very specific to room air conditioners. And you see 347 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,279 how it kind of mirrors to ten dot twenty two ten dot twenty three. 348 00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:18,559 Do you see see kind of how it mirrors that. But it is very 349 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,039 unique to itself, and it just kind of reminds you of that. It 350 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:29,359 says, where the circuitry is interlocked to prevent simultaneous operation of a room air 351 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:38,400 conditioner and booh energization wow of other outlets on the same brand circuit, a 352 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,480 cord and plug connected room air conditioners shall not exceed eighty percent of the brand 353 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,759 circuit Radio Okay, So if you have it set up in some way. 354 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,960 That way, the circuitry has an interlock designed on it so that you're a 355 00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:59,079 room air conditioner. Uh in the other outlets on the same circuit, Okay, 356 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,319 if you can keep them from some way from when the air conditions running, 357 00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:07,359 the others, nobody can run the other loads. If you can do 358 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,359 that, then you can go back up to the eighty percent of the brand 359 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,880 circuit rating. Okay, but it clearly says circuitry is interlocked to prevent simultaneous 360 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:22,440 operation of the room air conditioner and interergization of other outlets on the same brand 361 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:30,799 circuit. Okay. Maybe that has something to do with something at the air 362 00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:34,960 conditioning unit. I don't know, but again it's clearly stating some of you 363 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,279 out there may know this. I wouldn't do this because I'm not sure I 364 00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:45,240 want to spend the extra money to try to maintain some interlocking system just for 365 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:48,960 this application. Right, I'm gonna probably run if I know there's going to 366 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,839 be an air conditioner, I'm gonna run an individual brand circuit and be done 367 00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:56,440 with it, and do it that way rather than put it on with general 368 00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,960 use receptacles. In the room. Okay, unless you're okay with the fifty, 369 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:04,079 then you just roll with it and you're okay, all right, all 370 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,880 right, So that pretty much covers that. So let's while we're here, 371 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,640 we might as well knock out a few other things when it comes to the 372 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:18,079 room air conditioning units. Okay, and so let's go on and see this 373 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,079 now. The other question that people ask about the attachment plug, can that 374 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,000 serve as a disconnecting means for that piece of utilization equipment? All right, 375 00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:30,680 Well, the receptacles right there, it's chord okay, and we'll talk about 376 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,240 the chord link here in a second, so we can wrap this up about 377 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:38,480 room air conditioners. Is the attachment plug serving as a disconnect So if you've 378 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:45,559 got your codebook, what you want to go to is FUTT thirteen, all 379 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,680 right, So I'm gonna go to full forty dot thirteen, and that is 380 00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:56,880 chord connected equipment right now. Also remind you it's in let's just say it's 381 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,799 under part two, which is talking about disconnect means anyway, an article full 382 00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:07,200 forty, So we want to look at it because we're well certainly talking about 383 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,480 chord connected equipment. This is a room air conditioner. And here's what it 384 00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:15,319 says it's and it also has an informational note that sends you to room air 385 00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:19,039 conditioners. Right. It says, for cord and plug connected equipment such as 386 00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:26,640 room air conditioners, household refrigerators and freezers, drinking water coolers, and bear 387 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:33,200 fast dispensers, a separable connector or an attachment plug and receptacle shall be permitted 388 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,119 to serve as the disconnecting means. Okay, So again you can go right 389 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,240 up to it if you're going to service it. You see the disconnect is 390 00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:45,759 that attachment plug. You pull it right out of the receptacle and you you're 391 00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:49,920 fine. Okay, So keep that in mind. So if it's a chord 392 00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:56,480 connected equipment, then there you go. Now remember if it's not cord connected, 393 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,640 and then you're gonna be looking at full forty fourteen. That talks about 394 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,440 the location of the disconnecting means and within sight from and all these other goodies. 395 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,880 But obviously this question it was submitted as about a room air conditioner cord 396 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,799 and plug. Right. Lastly, we want to talk about the length of 397 00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:17,039 that supply cord. Now, typically this should be pretty much covered by the 398 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:22,640 manufacturer so and unless you're going out and buying one as a replacement because one 399 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:27,640 is is maybe fairly chewed up or damaged or something like that, then what 400 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,200 you're going to need to do is you're going to need to go to fully 401 00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:38,519 sixty four. This talks about supply chords and then give you some kind of 402 00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:42,240 some context to where it's at. This whole question. The majority of this 403 00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:48,359 you could find your answer all right in part seven of Article four forty which 404 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,720 is titled room air conditions. Anyway, So you got a bunch of information 405 00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:57,680 here. But what we're looking at right now is a supply coord full forty 406 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,559 dot sixty four. It says, where a flexible cord is used to supply 407 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,839 a room air conditioner, the length of the such chords shall not exceed ten 408 00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:11,079 feet for a nominal one hundred and twenty volt rated or six feet for a 409 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,559 nominal two o eight or two footy volt rated. So it's either ten feet 410 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,839 or six feet. If it's just a one twenty volte plugging into a regular 411 00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:23,039 receptacle, then you're gonna have a ten foot cord on it. All right, 412 00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,279 that's a lot of extra cord, but that's what you're that's that's what 413 00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:32,200 you're gonna have. And again that's them. It can't exceed ten feet. 414 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,079 So if a manufacturer gives you six feet or five feet or whatever, they're 415 00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:40,119 gonna give you whatever they're gonna give you based on they're listening for the product, 416 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,440 but it can't be more than ten feet, right, all right, 417 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:49,319 So hopefully that answered your question for your room air conditioner receptacle, as well 418 00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:53,839 as a bunch of extra information if you've ever wondered about the room air conditioner. 419 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,519 Um. Okay, so let me get to some quick announcements before we're 420 00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:02,440 done with this one. I know y'all hate my long podcasts and videos, 421 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,559 but so you probably heard, we are migrating away from YouTube. I kind 422 00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:13,200 of went this morning on a little rant, and I apologize for the rant. 423 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:20,359 Basically I don't in reading their profile policies and things that they have and 424 00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:23,720 how they use your content and what they do with it. I wasn't happy. 425 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:30,920 So we're slowly moving away from YouTube, and I had some smart Alex 426 00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:35,559 post a comment and said, well, it's amazing that you talk about wanting 427 00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:37,759 to get away from and here not about the clicks yet yet you put the 428 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:45,480 videos from monetization up on YouTube. Well, hello, if I'm going to 429 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:47,480 put a video up there, I'm getting something for it. But I'm not 430 00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:52,480 about the clicks. I'm not putting content out there to try to get five 431 00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:57,319 hundred thousand subscribers. My market is very niche. I'm looking for people that 432 00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:00,160 want to learn the NC. I'm not looking for electricians out there. They 433 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,720 just want to watch videos of other people pull conductors through a raceway or bend 434 00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:07,400 condoit. I'm sorry, I'm just not into that. I don't like watching 435 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:12,160 other other electricians work. That's not what I do. And there's a lot 436 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,519 of fanboys out there that like to do that. I'm just not one of 437 00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:17,759 those. So I'm not going to put out that kind of video. But 438 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,799 I teach the code and it's a very niche thing, but I get paid 439 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,039 for my knowledge. There's a lot of young people out there putting things out 440 00:33:27,079 --> 00:33:30,079 on YouTube. God bless them, that's how I started. I wish them 441 00:33:30,119 --> 00:33:32,799 all the luck. I just can't do that anymore because we're a corporation and 442 00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:38,240 we have to pay the bills. Hopefully our content is worth paying for and 443 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:43,240 so with that though, we're gonna be moving away from YouTube. It's a 444 00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:47,160 slower process. No, we weren't kicked off on YouTube. That's how rumors 445 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,880 going around. Somebody texted me and said, would you get kicked off? 446 00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:55,119 No, obviously, we're gonna still be putting stuff on there until we decide 447 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,599 to totally move and we're going to be moving to Rumbull for some of our 448 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:06,759 live streams. But we're still going to be on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, 449 00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:12,119 got Twitter, We're still in those platforms. We're still going to stream 450 00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:15,599 on those platforms, and we're all over Facebook. Like you said, we're 451 00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:22,800 also going to be streaming to our own platform, which is fast trackstube dot 452 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,519 com and we're hoping more of you will check that out. So anytime we 453 00:34:25,559 --> 00:34:29,599 announce a live stream, you can just go right over to fast tracks Tube. 454 00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:31,119 You should be able to watch it. It's public, and we don't 455 00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:34,840 that one's not. You don't have to pay to see it. It should 456 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,119 it should be live. If you go there, you can bookmark it'll say 457 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:42,280 live stream, but that's only one way that you can get it. We're 458 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:49,360 just slowly going to transition away from YouTube, and I just don't like their 459 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,599 controlling nature. Also, anybody out there that has a platform. You know, 460 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:59,920 for whatever reason, YouTube could decide to demonetize or take your content down. 461 00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:04,599 I don't like it. Okay. Now, granted YouTube and Twitter and 462 00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,960 all those can do it as well, but we call those secondaries because we 463 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,440 really don't care about those. We do our own Sparky Hub, we do 464 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,159 our own other stuff. Those are just for marketing purposes. All of our 465 00:35:16,199 --> 00:35:20,440 paid content, all the new stuff that's going to be coming out here in 466 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,480 the next month with twenty twenty three, all of that content is going to 467 00:35:23,559 --> 00:35:29,960 be exclusive over on our fast Tracks tube. Okay, So if you're a 468 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,920 subscriber, you get it. If you're not, you're not. That should 469 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,480 show you we're not into the clicks. We're not trying to get fifty million 470 00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:39,360 subscribers. I'm just not. I just don't care about that. I care 471 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:45,920 about putting out good education. That's what I care about. So so also 472 00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:47,639 with that, I wanted to let you know we have two new courses that 473 00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:51,920 are up. If you know somebody that's really does a lot of work on 474 00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:55,960 HVAC, we have a great course electricity for refrigeration, heating and cooling. 475 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,000 It really goes way beyond that, but it talks about how to service units, 476 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:06,079 how to service the capacitors, what to look for, troubleshooting conditions, 477 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,039 conditions that you might encounter. That's a really good course. And then of 478 00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:13,280 course we have Magenta, and that was, by the way, is named 479 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,119 Aqua. People don't like my colors selection, but it is what it is. 480 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,880 And then of course we have Magenta. Magenta is a little bit advanced. 481 00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:25,119 So before you were to step into Magenta, I mean I openly don't 482 00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:30,719 push that course because it is very advanced. If you want to challenge the 483 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,079 Magenta would be the one that you would definitely would challenge you, that's for 484 00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:40,360 sure. But again we're looking at about three weeks from now dropping our twenty 485 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:45,079 twenty three fast tracks, and look, I'm going to tell you up front, 486 00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:49,239 it's not going to be a major change from what you're used to if 487 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,239 you're already a fast track student, right, the only difference is code references 488 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,320 will be difference contents pretty much the same. If it's not broke, you 489 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,000 know, why fix it. The images are still grew, they still work, 490 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:06,800 But for people that need the twenty twenty three, then that's going to 491 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,800 be the way to go. Also, we are definitely. You will see 492 00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:17,880 this week we will be putting out, hopefully a budget Okay, don't quote 493 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:24,519 me here, a budget fast Tracks course for people that just can't afford our 494 00:37:24,599 --> 00:37:28,800 normal course. And the reason our courses cost what they cost us because you 495 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,199 get me on Wednesday nights and I personally have to grade all your work and 496 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,920 I have to put in a lot of time with the students, and my 497 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:39,599 time is money. So that's why that course and then the other things that 498 00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:45,559 we that's the convenience of the online system, the logging in the console, 499 00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:49,719 all of that, the quizzes, that's a convenience. That's what you're paying 500 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,320 for. That's what makes the fast Tracks better than anybody else. However, 501 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:57,599 we have heard you and people have been asking for a budget addition, a 502 00:37:57,639 --> 00:38:01,760 little cheaper addition of the fast Tracks for exam prep. Means it's not going 503 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,320 to be any courses graded by me. It's not going to give you access 504 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,920 to Wednesday nights. It's a exam prep down and dirty course with all the 505 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:15,400 content you need at a bare bones price. Okay, So if you want 506 00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:20,119 the support from us, the me, the videos, they're wanting to join 507 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,159 us on Wednesday nights and things like that, then you want to stick with 508 00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:24,559 the fast tracks black. But if you're on a budget, hey man, 509 00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:29,039 I get it. And so we're going to put out something for folks here 510 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,400 in the next couple of weeks. It's going to be a budget version of 511 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,199 our fast tracks okay, going to have the same great kind of content, 512 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:43,679 but it's going to be kind of stripped down a little bit for those that 513 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,280 really don't need that. Don't need the Wednesday nights or things like that, 514 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,639 so and don't need the one on one grading and stuff like that. To 515 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:57,079 give feedback, if you don't feel you need that, this is still going 516 00:38:57,159 --> 00:39:01,159 to be the best thing, then to buy some books somewhere. So at 517 00:39:01,159 --> 00:39:05,840 the end of the because I think our content is far better, the illustrations 518 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,239 and graphics are far better than anybody else. So at the end of the 519 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,880 day, um, look for that to come as well. All right, 520 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,639 all right, folks, Um, that's it. That's all we've got. 521 00:39:17,679 --> 00:39:21,280 I answered one question, and I for the gentleman, I went probably a 522 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,079 little deeper than I needed to go for his question, but I wanted to 523 00:39:24,119 --> 00:39:27,639 make sure that I answered it and give you a little bit more. All 524 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,320 right, folks, Until next time, Stay safe and be careful out there. 525 00:39:31,320 --> 00:40:00,920 God bless no Bo
