Article 410 is another example of an article in Chapter 4 of the NEC that often doesn’t get a lot of emphasis from multi-trade inspectors.

How much do you know about Articles 408 and 409? From my experience, this question often results in a long pause, and then perhaps a couple of requirements from Article 408 get quoted.

Many requirements in Article 406 are often overlooked or taken for granted, including many details on exactly how to install and properly use everyday devices that are probably the most used items within our electrical systems.

As we continue our path through the NEC, we get to Chapter 4 that is often overlooked in the day-to-day inspection world.

It is generally understood that the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) is responsible to evaluate and approve electrical equipment installations.

Marinas and boatyards can range from very simple to very complex bringing in many aspects of the NEC and other standards to ensure a safe installation.
