Ground-Fault Circuit-interrupter Protection for Personnel [630.8]
Are receptacles for cord-and-plug-connected tools in welding fabrication shops required to have GFCI protection? New section 630.8 in the 23 NEC requires GFCI protection for 125V, single-phase, 15A and 20A receptacles supplying hand tools or portable lighting in areas where welders are operated.
Be sure to join Mike and the team on the video as they break down this important rule!

The danger. Water and electricity don’t mix! Not only are marinas and boat docks sitting on the water, but in addition, the marine environment is a harsh one.
Planning for safety. A marina or dock installer is required to make special provisions for fluctuations in water level, the corrosive influences of a wet environment, and the dangers of electric shock. Article 555 contains the special installation requirements and precautions that must be considered for electrical equipment installed in these locations to be safe.
Free PDF Article 555. This content is extracted from Mike Holt's Illustrated Guide to Understanding the National Electrical Code Volume 2, based on the 2023 NEC. It will bring you up to speed on the special installation requirements for marinas, boatyards, and docking facilities.

Life Skills - Planning
Planning can only happen once you have a goal. Then, you need to plan it and get the job done. You must be completely zeroed in and totally focused on that job to get it done perfectly, and as fast as you possibly can.
But everything is subject to change—instantly—if the situation changes. If new information comes in, and circumstances change unexpectedly, then your plan might change. But first you must have a plan.
• Be accountable. When you set your goal, make a commitment publicly. If you expose yourself, you put pressure on yourself to succeed, and there’s someone holding you accountable.
• Be ready to work. Work with an uncluttered mind like you do with an uncluttered workspace.
• Commit to a plan. Once you have a goal and a plan, do whatever you must to get qualified (trained) to be competent to follow through on your plan. You need to be your #1 competitor and take ownership of your actions.
• Update your plans. Once you’ve made your plans and lists, make sure you’re working on your priorities. Eliminate anything that’s no longer needed. Look at every action you take and determine that it’s helping you reach your goals.
Once you’ve mapped out what you want to accomplish, get it on your calendar and commit to it daily.
Studies have shown that using a paper-and-pen planning method can improve outcomes. The feel of the paper and the act of writing help you organize your mind as you’re doing it. For some people, there’s something positive about carrying a small notebook or index card with their plans for the day in their own handwriting.
Organize your time and plan wisely. One of our greatest faults is not being disciplined with our schedules. Staying busy and working very long hours doesn’t equal effective productivity or leadership.

I know it's nuts that, at the tender age of 75, I get up early to focus on my goals of riding my DownHill bike to an advanced level.
There is never a day that I think, 'I've made it, and now I can relax.' Let's be honest, I only have 'so many days left,' and I'm not going to waste a single one. I continue to 'push myself' to the next level.
The reality is that you only have 'so many days left' as well. Do you have goals? Are they written? Are you 'killing yourself' every day to feel the glory of accomplishment?
You should be licensed if you're an electrician; if you are licensed, you should get your master's license!
Start living life by pursuing excellence every day. Push Yourself!
As for me and my House, we will serve the Lord [Joshua 24:15].

The NEC requires boxes, conduit bodies, and handhole enclosures be installed to remain accessible for wiring and device maintenance. But what does the Code actually mean by “accessible”?
