Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 203 ratings
  • I used to give this 5 stars, but it's gone down hill. Paul's electrical knowledge is vast and deep. Definitely worth listening to the back catalogue if you want to improve your code knowledge.

    But these days, most episodes are a mix of minimally useful live-while-driving episodes, sales pitches for Paul's products, and uninformed political rants. The utility is no longer worth my time.

  • Grifter

    There is a reason he was let go from the code making panel. He is one-sided. A hypocrite. And worst of all, a professional grifter who only cares about his well being and making money off hard working people. His podcast are boring and lack production. Very basic info, just a funnel to spend more money on material that you can find just about anywhere. So do it on your own.

  • Hypocrisy

    Claims to be a marine, yet somehow also supports a tyrant for President. If you took an oath to defend the constitution, you can’t also support a candidate that incited a mob to overthrow a fair election. One wonders where this host was on Jan 6th. Defending the Capitol or invading it? 🤔

Master The NEC | Episode 61 | NECCHAT.COM and Some Let's Ask Paul
Q: In the 2023 NEC, should I include small appliance branch circuits and the laundry load when calculating dwelling unit lighting loads, or do I calculate lighting first and then add those loads?
You always add the small appliance branch circuits and the laundry load to the dwelling unit load and then apply the demand factors in table 220.45, ensuring the total reflects the combined load, including the 3 VA per square foot for general lighting and receptacles.
