This article will focus on overcurrent protection and conductor sizing for low-voltage transformers in the Canadian Electrical Code.

Photons (solar energy from sunlight) hit a PV module and electrons (electrical energy) come out.  The amount of electricity (volts and amps) a PV module will produce is proportional to the amount of sunlight shining on the module (more is better),

Section 8 is a general section of the CE Code. It provides the information you need to select the conductor ampacities and equipment ratings for consumer’s services, feeders, and branch circuits.

Although “control devices” are not specifically defined in the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, application of control devices is well-described throughout the Code, and particularly in Section 14.

Supplementary protectors have been recognised in Canada since the publication of the standard in 1989, CAN/CSA C22.2 No.235 Supplementary Protectors.

Are there any UL Listed direct burial brass acorn clamps for use with rebar on a UFER ground? Will there be a galvanic issue with the dissimilar metals?

Quite often we look at the requirements of the CE Code without any concerns, as clarity of the literal text (and of the intent behind this text) appears to be obvious. Rule 8-304 of the CE Code should be one such requirement.
