What a lot of people don't realize is that the foundation for understanding the NEC rules for electrical installations is electrical theory! Whether you're a first-year apprentice still struggling to understand the difference between a volt or ampere, or a veteran electrician trying to sharpen your troubleshooting skills, this product has something for you.

We're sharing this clip from the program to introduce you to the importance of this topic. Please feel free to share this with your friends and co-workers, and for more videos and content on this topic, check out our Electrical Theory Video Library that includes the full program and digital textbook.

A GFPE protects equipment from damaging currents as a result of line-to-ground faults. GFPE protection is commonly used in marinas and for circuits 1000A or more and greater than 150V to ground as required by the National Electrical Code. Find out what you need to know about the concepts behind GFPE devices designed to protect electrical equipment by reading the text and watching the video where Mike and the team discuss this topic.
