In this episode, Paul will tackle the questions submitted by a listener. The topic covered in this episode is about outlets and what they are. There seems to be some confusion about what an outlet is and what a “point” means in the system. Various public inputs seek to change what an outlet is but you only need to read the definition of “Outlet” to know it is a POINT on the wiring system, not specifically a box itself or not a device. It’s the POINT where the wiring system extends to utilization equipment.

Greetings Everyone - Sorry for the audio as I am feeling a bit under the weather today but the show must go on. In this episode, I talk about the reasons for the live stream that is taking place on February 8, 2024, about the upcoming changes to the structure of the National Electrical Code. We are talking about it now because NOW is when the structure is being developed so that it is ready to go for the Public Input stage for the 2029 NEC. In the 2026 NEC, which we are working on right now, a structure matrix will be available so that folks understand what is expected for the next cycle, which would be the 2029 NEC. The time to give your input is now while it is being developed. Hope you all can join me for the LIVE STREAM on February 8, 2024 at 8:00 PM CT pm at https://www.youtube.com/c/masterthenec

Yes, YOU have input on the new structure.
