5:05
The NEC just moved to a new edition — and some of the article numbers you memorized just changed.
In this lesson: Article 220 → 120, Article 750 → 130, Chapter 8 folded into Chapter 7, the dwelling lighting load drops from 3 to 2 VA/sq ft, a new required outdoor disconnect for 1- and 2-family dwellings, new EV charger rules, updated arc-flash labels, and solar PV changes — plus why you need to confirm which edition YOUR state's exam actually uses before you study.
Based on the 2023 and 2026 NEC editions. State adoption varies — always confirm with your licensing board.
