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 Wicks,

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 going to be be doing that well,

132
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:33,960
but that's just just my take on
that. Okay. Let's see here

133
00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:39,279
and it says and you're in the
twenty seventeen NEC Okay, it says service

134
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,519
cable three out copper tn thwn,
x HHW DAS two. It's not going

135
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,320
to be all three of those,
so most of the time it's probably gonna

136
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,799
be either THHHN THWN DASH two or
it's going to be XHHW DASH two.

137
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,279
Probably that just depends on which one
you want to run. That's that's up

138
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,320
to you. Lastly, it says, my understanding is that I need to

139
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:05,799
run a AWG copper from the panel's
main neutral bar to the first bushing lay

140
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,279
in inside or outside of the FMC
over to the next bushing lane. I

141
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:15,919
say, if you want it to
be totally continuous like that, perfectly fine

142
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,559
to do that. And you're in
as far as sizing goes. If you're

143
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,759
doing this based on the fact that
you've got the three out, which is

144
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,639
what you would use in two fifty
one zero two. Uh. If you're

145
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,279
doing that, then you would look
in see since you only have the one

146
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,919
race way, so you're gonna be
in C one and so on the table

147
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,679
it looks like copper three out it
would be absolutely would be a four gage.

148
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,720
That's two table two fifty one H
two C one. Okay, So

149
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:50,799
that's the best advice I can give
you on that one. But it sounds

150
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,960
like but that last statement, it
sounds like you are on track for what

151
00:11:54,039 --> 00:12:00,200
I would do. Now for everybody
says that that what you have to worry

152
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,320
about is parallels things like that.
Well, you remember, we can use

153
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,480
the neutral to bond all metal parts
on the supply side. If we want

154
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:13,840
to two fifty one forty two permits
us to do that. Okay, so

155
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,559
you know, keep keep that in
mind, okay as well when you're when

156
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,000
you're thinking about ooh, these these
things that you can do on the supply

157
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:28,519
side. Okay, all right,
let's see here, oh see, okay,

158
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,799
see if we have another question.
Okay, So the next question we

159
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:39,000
have presented, says Paul. If
if suppose you are looking to build a

160
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:46,879
meter bank set up for three tenants
using two thirty forty exception number two allowance,

161
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:52,960
and you're looking to size the neutral, where do you differentiate the neutral

162
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,559
size between the overhead service conductors down
to the trough and the neutrals? You

163
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:05,600
sply to each smaller set of conductors
that go to each one hundred to one

164
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:11,240
twenty five amp meter. Is there
any way you can explain what note three

165
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:16,519
on the table two fifty one zero
two C one means when it says or

166
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:24,240
equivalent size of the largest ungrounded supply
conductors shall be determined by the largest sum

167
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:30,080
of the area of the corresponding conductors
of each set. What is the area

168
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,679
referring to? Is it are we
measuring a conductor? Yes, the area

169
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,720
would be the circular mills. Okay, it says I would like I would

170
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:45,080
think that I size the initial overhead
service conductors that supply all three meters per

171
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:48,960
the calculated load, okay, and
the neutral conductor for this for each set

172
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,679
would be plucked from this table based
on the largest ungrounded conductor okay, to

173
00:13:54,919 --> 00:14:00,879
that piece of equipment, to that
service equipment. Yes, but then we

174
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:03,639
are we still doing the same when
we drop the size of the wire from

175
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:09,679
the splice in the trough to the
feed the meters? For example, would

176
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,279
you just size your wire for the
load over current device to be used?

177
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,440
If I were if I were to
install one hundred ANP meters for all three

178
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,519
and one hundred anp main breakers for
each am I sizing my neutral based on

179
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:28,399
the one hundred and amp on grounded
conductor? Or is Note three telling me

180
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,360
to calculate differently? Okay? So
what we've got to do is we're going

181
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:37,480
to go look at two fifty one
zero two C one and I will explain

182
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:41,320
it to you. So let me
go to two point fifty one zero two

183
00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:54,840
and let's see here. Okay,
all right, so you're installing the application.

184
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,360
Oh first, let's go in and
look at your application. So your

185
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,200
application is two thirty forty exception number
two. So let's go look at that

186
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,600
first. That way we we have
a good idea of what you're trying to

187
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:13,600
construct here, right, So we're
going to go to two thirty dotty.

188
00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:18,480
Hopefully you got your codebooks you can
follow on, and we're looking at exception

189
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,799
number two. Okay, so exception
number two read it now. By the

190
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:24,679
way, for those that don't know
what two thirty dot forty is, this

191
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,799
is the number of service entrance conductor
sets. So you have one service to

192
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,519
a building, but you are permitted, for example, to make a connection

193
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,799
to that one service drop. Let's
say let's just use overhead drop or whatever

194
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,559
that's coming to a building. You're
able to tap onto that and go to

195
00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:48,399
different service disconnects all grouped in one
location, right, or they don't have

196
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,639
to be grouped in one location.
You could have this. An example of

197
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:54,240
this would be like an exception number
one where it says, okay, you're

198
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:58,240
tapping to it, and then that
those service entran conductors as long as they

199
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,320
stay outside of the building. Hell, they could wrap around the building and

200
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,480
then the moment they go to that
individual dwelling unit, that's say, in

201
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,600
a multi family building, then you're
limited to up to six, okay,

202
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,519
But these conductors stay outside of the
building, so you're okay to make a

203
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:15,320
connection to the service drop, let's
say. And then as long as their

204
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:21,120
service interesance conductors are outside, they
can run around the building and then enter,

205
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,720
and then you have to meet all
the rules of nearest point of entry

206
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,960
and all that kind of stuff.
But that's that's an okay application. That's

207
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,279
exception number one. Exception number two
to this says, we're two to six

208
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:37,120
service disinictum means in separate enclosures,
and that's what he wants to do.

209
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:40,879
Are grouped in one location and they
are remember he said it was coming to

210
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:44,679
a trough and then underneath it you
had three one hund panels. Okay,

211
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,879
it says, and supply separate loads
from one service drop. So it is

212
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:55,440
one drop coming down into or one
overhead service conductors coming down into the trough

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

214
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:03,880
That's what he said he's doing,
and that's what so far Exception number

215
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:10,079
two is allowing it says, so
where two to six service discim can means

216
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,039
and separate enclosures are grouped in one
location and supply separate loads from one service

217
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,599
drop one set of overhead service conductors, which is what he's doing, set

218
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:25,880
up underground service conductors or service laterals. One set of service in conductors shall

219
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:32,640
be permitted to supply each of several
such service equipment and closures. So what

220
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:37,519
that's allowing me to do is to
have one drop splice onto that come down,

221
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,920
whether it's underground, whether or not
it's overhead or whatever. It's allowing

222
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,960
me to do that and have those
three right there grouped in that one location

223
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:55,000
under that meter. So that's the
exception number two that he's doing. Now

224
00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:56,599
that exception, by the way,
is to the rule that says you can

225
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,119
only have one set of service ins
conductors. Obviously this is allowing me to

226
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,799
have what multiple sets, So typically
they originate in one location and then it

227
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,079
separates out and hits up to six
grouped in one location. So that's exception

228
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:18,319
number two. So we've established that. So now he's asking about the sizing

229
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,559
the ground to conductor. Now,
first thing is to remember the grounded conductor

230
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,799
that's coming from the service point of
attachment down. Okay, So in the

231
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,160
moment that it becomes part of the
NEC, that point of attachment okay,

232
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:36,200
not the drop service drop that's outside
of our scope. That's the utility code.

233
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:40,160
But once if it's an overhead service
conductors, then it means that it

234
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:45,000
transitioned and so now it's under the
NEEC. Or if it's from the point

235
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,079
of attachment down to that trough,
that is now under the NEEC. So

236
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,440
it has to be sized accordance to
the NEC. Now think about this.

237
00:18:55,039 --> 00:19:00,680
Your rules in two twenty dot sixty
one are going to tell us what that

238
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:06,839
we have to size based on what
the calculated load and it's and when it

239
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,640
comes to the neutral which is what
that deals with, is we're talking about

240
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,960
what to twenty dot sixty one tells
me that I'm going to size the servicer

241
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,680
feeder neutral for the maximum unbalanced load
determined by the Article two twenty calculation.

242
00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:26,759
So we have to know what our
neutral loads are. We we have to

243
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,799
know that first right now. One
of the other things that we have to

244
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:36,640
be aware of is under two fifty
we have some minimum rules that we have

245
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,599
to 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 --> 00:19:47,480
So we're gonna go look at two
fifty dot twenty fours. We'll start

248
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:52,680
there, okay, and if you
look into that and let me move down

249
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,200
here. Actually, let's move Actually, we're gonna look at D which is

250
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:03,599
two fifty twenty four D first,
and that says the grounded conductor that's bought

251
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,400
to the service. Okay, so
we have to have a grounded conductor brought

252
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,319
to the service, right, and
then what you'll see is it says the

253
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,559
grounded conductor shall be installed in accordance
with two fifty twenty four D one through

254
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,920
D four. Well, D one
is talking about the sizing, right,

255
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,119
Okay, so the ground is so
the D one says the ground and conductor

256
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,720
shall not be smaller than specified in
table two fifty one zero two C one.

257
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:34,160
So even if we've got to do
a load calculation, we already know

258
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:41,960
that the grounded conductor cannot be smaller
than what's in this table based on what

259
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:47,359
the size of the ungrounded conductors.
Okay, So in this scenario, if

260
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,279
the from the point of attachment down
to the troth. It has to be

261
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,200
one calculated on what's the unbalanced load
it's going to see, Well, it's

262
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,440
going to see the load from these
three hundred and panels. So it assumes

263
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,000
to us that we have to do
a load calculation for each one of these

264
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:06,000
panels. We have to know what
it's going to be serving. Now I've

265
00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:07,319
just throw this out there. If
there are a hundred ant panels, then

266
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:12,920
plausible they could serve one hundred amps, not continuously, but one hundred ams.

267
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,640
Okay, So most people make their
design simple. If it's three to

268
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,480
one hundred an panels, then they
will size the conductors that are supply conductors

269
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:27,079
based on the possibility to the plausibility
of three hundred amps. Now, at

270
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,119
the end of the day, it's
really size based on your calculated load.

271
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,519
Okay, you have to know your
loads. So sometimes the loads would be

272
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:37,200
much less than what the panel can
carry. But when we're talking about the

273
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,599
neutral conductor, once we establish the
size of those conductors from the point of

274
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,640
attachment to that troth which is going
to be handling all of the neutral loads

275
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:55,480
across those three panels, once we
find out what the actual calculation is for

276
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:59,759
the service for all of these panels, okay, and that's how you're going

277
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,920
to be sizing from the point of
attachment down to the to the trough.

278
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,160
Once we do that, then we
take those conductors and we've come over here

279
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,279
and we're looking at two fifty one
zero two C one And then of course,

280
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,559
depending on whether it's you know,
one OT, it would be a

281
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,000
you know, a minimum grounded conductor
would be a six if it's one OT

282
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:22,279
copper. If it's four out aluminum, it's a minimum of four. But

283
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,079
here's the thing that's at least it
has to be at least that size.

284
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:32,279
Chances are very highly probable that it's
going to be much larger than that.

285
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,400
In fact, if you're using se
cable, for example, the grounded conductor

286
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,359
is not required to be is can
be up to two sizes smaller than the

287
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:48,880
ungrounded or hot conductors. So typically
in an sc cable you have four hot

288
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,759
aluminum, and then what happens is
the neutral will be equivalent to two ought

289
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,720
because there's a three ought in between
it, and the neutral cannot be more

290
00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:03,920
than two sizes smaller than the ungrounded
conductors. And that's already done for us.

291
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,279
If you're you know the manufacturer takes
care of that. When it comes

292
00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:11,160
to sc cable, it's already been
done for you. Okay, again,

293
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:15,680
don't confuse SEU and SCR. We're
talking like an SCU. That that that

294
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:21,240
stranded helical. It's equivalent to a
two lot when you gather everything together,

295
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,000
that type of thing, and that's
something that's governed by the the UL standard

296
00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:27,839
UL eight fifty four. It's already
taken care of for you. And if

297
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:32,319
you're running the individual conductors, then
you know that it can't be smaller from

298
00:23:32,319 --> 00:23:36,680
the point of attachment down to that
trough. It could not be smaller than

299
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:44,079
whatever the size of the conductors are
that are handling. The total ungrounded conductor's

300
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,279
load means you calculated those conductors have
to be based on the loads that are

301
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:51,559
going to be seen from all three
panels. So you're going to have to

302
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,680
take a calculation from all three of
these panels summation, and then you're going

303
00:23:56,759 --> 00:23:59,839
to size your ungrounded conductor. Once
you size that on grounded conductor, then

304
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,200
you come to two fifty one zero
two see one, and it can't be

305
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,319
smaller than the table. However,
you still got to know what your neutral

306
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:14,400
loads are because obviously to twenty dot
sixty one said that the grounded conductor can

307
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,960
has to handle the maximum unbalanced load. So that means you have to calculate

308
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,799
what your neutral loads are, and
we do that in our fast Tracks program,

309
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,079
uh and on our on our Wednesday
Night sessions, I go over how

310
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:30,680
to calculate loads and the neutral and
so you still got to do a calculation

311
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:34,599
now the point where you make the
connection, and remember these aren't feeder taps,

312
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,839
these are just taps to service conductors. The point that you make that

313
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:45,039
connection and you're now supplying each individual
unit, then you're actually sizing the grounded

314
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:51,279
conductor again based on two fifty one
zero two c one, based on those

315
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,480
ungrounded conductors that's supplying the equipment.
So it can't be any smaller than what

316
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:59,839
it would be in two fifty one
zero two c one. Once you know

317
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,799
what those conductors are, and those
conductors were sized is hot conductors. They

318
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:07,200
were sized to handle whatever the load
is for that panel, that individual panel.

319
00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:11,839
Okay, all right, make it
clear. So yes, you would

320
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:19,279
size as the grounded conductor that's going
from the tap down to the actual panel

321
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:26,160
based on the calculated load and the
neutral would be sized based on the maximum

322
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,640
unbalanced load, but knowing that it
can't be smaller than at least what's in

323
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,559
two fifty one zero two C one. So that's a minimum size requirement.

324
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,920
It's probably going to be larger because
you have to do a load calculation in

325
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,440
order to achieve this. Now,
lastly, you wanted me to explain what

326
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:47,359
note free was about. All right, And for those that are not familiar,

327
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,079
if you look underneath table two fifty
one zero two, see one,

328
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,799
you'll see there's various notes. Now, these are not informational notes. These

329
00:25:55,799 --> 00:26:02,400
are very applicable notes. They are
to be always observed. We're applicable,

330
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,079
and they're not like an informational note, which is just good information. These

331
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,039
are mandatory. So number three,
let me read you what it says.

332
00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:15,279
It says, if there's no service
entrance conductors, the supply conductor sizes shall

333
00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:21,519
be determined by the equivalent size of
the largest service inter conductor required for the

334
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:25,359
load to be served. So you
still have to do a load calc Okay,

335
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,359
So these conductors could be coming in
and they're not service entrance conductors.

336
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,480
They may be service laterals that are
coming in under the building and then popping

337
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:38,640
up inside of a switch gear room. So by the concept here, since

338
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,720
its table is based on what the
basic table is based on, the conductors

339
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:52,160
being what largest ungrounded conductors are equivalent
in parallel. So basically what you're trying

340
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,599
to do here is say, well, you know what, they're not service

341
00:26:55,759 --> 00:27:00,240
entrance conductors, okay, but they
are supply conductors and when they come in

342
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:06,839
to the building in order to be
able to determine the sizing that we can

343
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,720
use this table, then we basically
just treat them as if they're service intriconductors,

344
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:15,400
determine what our load calculation is.
And by the way, they could

345
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,880
be service laterals coming in. That's
outside of the scope of the NEC when

346
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,720
it comes to sizing. So what
this means is you have to forget what

347
00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:27,079
the utility may do. You get
to forget about it. What size would

348
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:33,440
you size them if you were doing
this on any C installation, And then

349
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,359
once you establish the size you would
need for the loads in question, then

350
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,519
you would go and pick the conductor
and that's the conductor you're going to use

351
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:47,559
to go up here and use the
table. So this little note is there

352
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,920
to help people when the utility may
bring the service lateral in and they might

353
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,480
have something that's like a frickin' one
OT and you're like, damn, the

354
00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:57,359
NEC says it has to be a
four OT. How do they get away

355
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,880
with that? Well, they can't
because that's the utility and they based it

356
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,559
on other historical data and uses and
all that kind of stuff. So you're

357
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:08,799
thinking, well, I can't use
that with this table. So what the

358
00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:12,839
Note three is telling you to do
is, hey, pretend like they're service

359
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,240
conductors there, and you would size
them. Ignore what's there. You determine

360
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,759
what size conductors you would need to
handle the load calculation. Just like I

361
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,440
just explained a minute ago. You
have to figure out what size they would

362
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:32,400
need to be, and then forget
about what the utility brought you underground.

363
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:38,759
Pretend that they're service entrance conductors that
you sized and pick the conductor, and

364
00:28:38,839 --> 00:28:42,200
then you go to two fifty one
zero two C one. That's what the

365
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,319
Note three is trying to depict,
because again, you could have applications where

366
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:53,640
they're not service entrance conductors coming in. Okay, so anyway hopefully that you

367
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:59,960
know makes sense to you. So
basically, if they're not service entrance conductor,

368
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,759
the service later ules. Forget what
size utility did Okay, forget about

369
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:11,680
it. Try to determine what size
service conductors you would have to have based

370
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:17,720
on your load calculation, and then
use that size to use the table.

371
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,359
Ignore what the utility brought to you. Okay, that's what Note three is

372
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:26,839
trying to do. Okay, hopefully
that makes sense to you. If I

373
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,359
didn't, what do I always say? Just let me know what episode it

374
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,920
is, and all you got to
do is go to Paul Abernethy dot com

375
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:38,480
and just kind of give me a
summary of what the question was, what

376
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:41,440
you want clarity on, let me
know what code socle you're working on,

377
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,240
and then post your question. I'm
not going to go back and listen to

378
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:49,640
the entire podcast, So give me
a good summary of what you're really asking

379
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:55,240
or what you might have heard,
and I will make it clear and then

380
00:29:56,119 --> 00:30:00,799
we can move on from that.
Okay, But in your question, none

381
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,359
of the example in two thirty forty
exception number two, or none of the

382
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,319
first 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 --> 00:30:15,359
So see if that'll be it for
today, or it'll see if I

385
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:18,720
got the other one that Darlene has
me scheduled to take care of. All

386
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:22,880
right, I got a quick one. Here's the last question that Darlene has

387
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:26,759
pointed out for me today. It
says, Hello, I am the Michigan

388
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:32,279
Electrician looking to take my Journeyman test
again. I was wondering what study material

389
00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:37,880
you could recommend Michigan still testing on
the twenty seventeen NEC. Unfortunately I cannot

390
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,160
afford your material, but I do
have a codebook and a few books on

391
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:48,359
electrical theory and material as well as
grounding and bonding. Any help would be

392
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,039
greatly appreciated. Thanks. Okay,
I cannot help your financial situation. Sometimes

393
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:57,000
you have to invest in yourself,
and you know what, that's why we

394
00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:00,119
came out with some more cost effective
type programs. But you are on the

395
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,519
twenty seventeen and we do not have
a basic or enhanced version for that.

396
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,519
All we have is the Black or
the Plus, which is more expensive.

397
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:11,400
So what I'm going to recommend you
do is to go and get a subscription

398
00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:18,960
to fasttrackstube dot com and start watching
our videos, start watching our recordings of

399
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,480
our exam prep night. Also as
a member of Fasttracks Tube, it's ninety

400
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:26,000
nine bucks. If you can't afford
ninety nine bucks, I can't help you.

401
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,279
As a member of Fasttracks Tube,
you also get to join us every

402
00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:34,160
two weeks on Wednesday Nights, where
you can ask your questions, where you

403
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,759
can interact with us, where you
can enjoy lessons that I give from time

404
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:42,920
to time. Last week I think
I did transformers, Primary and Secondary Protection,

405
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:48,440
Secondary conductors, ten foot twenty five
foot rule, talked about all that

406
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,759
even little tidbits that you can pull
out from there really do benefit you.

407
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,359
So again I tell everybody out there, if you can't afford our courses and

408
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,200
you're studying, even if you're studying
somebody else. Sometimes it's visual helps a

409
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:07,640
lot of people. So getting a
subscription to our video platform and also gives

410
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,240
you access to the Wednesday Nights every
two weeks. We do Wednesday Nights unless

411
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,079
they're canceled for some reason, and
it allows you to sit in fly on

412
00:32:15,119 --> 00:32:19,319
the wall. You can ask questions. We're in a friendly environment, no

413
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:23,240
questions, dumb question you can ask. It's a great gathering of friends,

414
00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:30,240
everybody talking code and I answer those
questions, and it's included in the ninety

415
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:34,680
nine dollars annual subscription. It's included, folks, I don't know anywhere else.

416
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:37,640
For ninety nine bucks. You can
get access to me every two weeks

417
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,240
on Wednesday, ask your questions,
and a closed environment so you don't have

418
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,640
to worry about people belittling you or
whatever, and it's not going to happen.

419
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,319
It's a learning environment, okay.
And when you do that, you

420
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,240
get access to our video platform,
and we have a lot of videos on

421
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:59,079
there, and the Just Calculation series
is coming out in two weeks. That

422
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,119
is the only platform you're gonna be
able to see our video on that.

423
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,720
Plus I've got an eight hour video
on calculations over there. I got a

424
00:33:06,759 --> 00:33:09,920
twelve hour video on grinding and bonding, a four part series. I've got

425
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,880
a seven, seven or eight part
series on pools, spas and hot tubs

426
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,960
over there that you should watch.
I have a video over there on a

427
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,079
webinar that we did for secondary conductors
and ten foot twenty five foot rule and

428
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:30,440
primary secondary protection. Jeez, it's
worth it alone for just one of the

429
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:35,680
videos over there. So if my
advice to you is to get that subscription.

430
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,480
Fork up the ninety nine bucks.
It'll be the best ninety nine bucks

431
00:33:38,519 --> 00:33:42,319
you ever invested. You get access
to the platform, you get access to

432
00:33:42,319 --> 00:33:47,000
Wednesday nights. And that's the best
advice I can give you. Okay,

433
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:52,279
and oh oh so, the only
other advice I can give you is find

434
00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:57,480
yourself a good category of practice questions. And they don't all have to be

435
00:33:57,599 --> 00:34:06,880
sterling, but find you some and
basically find them and go over them and

436
00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:10,280
really hone in on it and get
used to dissecting a question. Don't be

437
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,920
in such a hurry to answer a
question. I've tell this to everybody out

438
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:19,559
there. Don't get you one hundred
question database or whatever at two hundred question

439
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:22,880
database and try to answer them all
so quickly. That is not the goal

440
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:28,280
of studying for an exam. The
goal is to take your time on each

441
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,880
question. Pull out your clock if
you want to time yourself, wait until

442
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,760
the 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 --> 00:34:44,559
folks, Okay, I tell people
this all the time. Do not

445
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:49,440
listen to educators that give you this
bullshit about getting timed quizz and trying to

446
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,239
do them as quickly. That does
not help you. All that does is

447
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:58,079
elevate the stress. Take a question, beat the question to death. Use

448
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:00,719
your index, use your table of
contents, look up every word, find

449
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:06,119
out what could have gotten you the
answer. It's going to be your way

450
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:09,920
of what I call the poor man's
way of studying for an exam. Don't

451
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,119
be so quick to just answer questions
in a database. You paid good money

452
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:20,199
for it. Use it, milk
it. Extract everything you can get from

453
00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:22,559
the question so that it not only
helps you answer the question, but let

454
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:25,280
you learn what's in the index,
let you learn what's in the table of

455
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,360
contents. It helps you in your
maneuvering skills back and forth, because I

456
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,199
can tell you right now, if
you're not familiar with using the index and

457
00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:37,119
going back and forth, you can
be very slow. But the more you

458
00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:40,079
practice this, this is why our
programs are fast tracks programs. We use

459
00:35:40,119 --> 00:35:45,320
these chevrons. It's to pull you
from the course into the NEC, back

460
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:50,000
to the course, back to the
NEC. If you think that I'm just

461
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:53,840
doing that, it's being done for
a reason. It's to help you move

462
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,880
back and forth. And whether you
know it or not. We're subconsciously trying

463
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,639
to get you more comfortable with moving
in and out of the codebook. That's

464
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:06,039
the whole purpose of why we do
it. Okay, all right, so

465
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:09,400
good luck. Hopefully you'll you say
again. So that means by the time

466
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,880
you probably always tell this to people, by the time you fail some exams

467
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,320
and pay the fees, you probably
could have gotten a course and then pass

468
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,400
it the first time and you would
have actually learned something in the process,

469
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,760
and that goes a long way.
There's a difference between just passing a test

470
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,119
and actually learning something, and that's
where structured programs come into play. All

471
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:32,239
right, folks, that's it for
this Let's ask Paul for this week.

472
00:36:32,559 --> 00:36:36,639
So if again, if you have
any questions that you want to submit to

473
00:36:36,639 --> 00:36:39,360
me, all you got to do
is go to Paul Abernathy dot com.

474
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,800
Yes it's still there, it's still
active, it's still sponsored by Wicks,

475
00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:46,440
and you get to ask me any
question you want on the National Leuntric Code.

476
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,039
Just be sure to let me know
the code cycle that you're working out

477
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:53,079
of. Be very descriptive in your
question, because I'm only going to answer

478
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,920
what you give me as a question. Until next time folks stay, say

479
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:24,719
God bless both askball boot both,
ask both Aska Nohing.
