About this Event
Conductor Sizing and Overcurrent Protection
This training event will provide in-depth coverage of key National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements impacting renewable energy and electrification technologies. Led by Brian Baughman, NEMA Midwest Technical Field Representative and seasoned industry professional, the session combines lecture-based instruction, detailed PowerPoint presentations, and interactive Q&A to ensure participants gain both technical understanding and practical application insights.
Attendees will explore the evolving requirements for solar photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems, interconnected electric power production sources, energy management systems, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure—topics that are increasingly relevant as electrical systems evolve toward distributed and decarbonized energy models.
This course is ideal for electrical inspectors, contractors, engineers, and design professionals seeking to stay current with NEC updates and understand their application in the field.
Key NEC requirements that will be covered can be found in the following Articles:
