It’s a blessing to be apart of these teachings

[@jasonparkinson7621]

You were born to teach,sir. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you. ✌

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Thank you, what a touching compliment that is.

[@charlesclaypoole1072]

I watch this video over and over again, helped me in NV LV c2-d test, now on to Idaho ELE

[@alishatruman]

Ohhh those vintage code books make me feel all tingly inside! Awesome collection.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Lol

[@eepower]

It’s an honor watching your videos Ryan. Your wealth of knowledge and your experience are much appreciated. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@Cleofizoid]

Caught the last 90% of this stream live. Gonna catch what I missed and watch the whole class again. Great job!

[@steve-o6413]

Well 2hr 40min and I no longer need to use the code any longer, only because I retired from the Electrical Field, but I still like to be current. Like everyone else some things I agree with and others I don't, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the video, thanks Ryan for your time and knowledge...

[@alhawkins3376]

Definitely subscribed, You said NEC does not cover service drops so when an inspector told me the S. drop was too low and had to be a certain height it was not NEC related ? EVERY MAN NEEDS A CODE - You damn right !

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Correct.

[@e5Group]

Recommended by a pal this channel. Shall enjoy every minute. I’m looking at the NEC in detail from the UK perspective.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Cheers! I'm currently drinking a pint of Guiness, watching the darts. I'd fit right in in the UK 🇬🇧

[@chadroberts8498]

Ryan, you knocked it out of the park on this. Great job.

[@jenko701]

Great video , actually starts 11 minutes in . Again great video .

[@davidaengelhart]

Had to bug out of the live stream early but it is good to know I can watch it later. Thanks for your time Ryan

[@pedrosaico]

Thank you so much for this video. I don’t I would have ever understood how to use the code book without this video. I struggle for a few weeks and with this video you change my perspective so much and I really wanted to say Thank you! You got a new fan

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

You're very welcome. Thanks for your kind words.

[@fayiznalu8411]

I like how you simplified the NEC..! Thanks Ryan

[@davidsullivan7739]

[@gh2110]

[@rafaelvelasco6357]

Just started watching the video so far awesome 👌 like always , it's always been a struggle understanding the code , but you explaining it has help me alot

[@Raytechable]

Great video

[@robsheppard1]

Excellent video Mr. Jackson.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Thanks!

[@johnathangomez9375]

Index is very helpful, thanks Ryan.

[@chriswiggins1985]

As always Mr. Jackson this was a very detailed and good one. Can I make one suggestion, the front cover of the book has a ton of information. Especially everything under the IMPORTANT NOTICES AND DISCLAIMERS CONCERNING NFPA STANDARDS. That information is crucial and many of my students are blown back by the information especially the part where the NEC makes no guarantee of the accuracy of the information in the code. Also, there was a verbiage change that was not highlighted.

[@nujomaclarke8064]

love the wire reference... apprentice coming out of broward county florida

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Such a good show!

[@kevinporter1832]

Ryan Thank you so much your content is awesome

[@EddyForero07]

Great content, thank you. Liked and subscribed 🤙

[@walterbordett2023]

Why does a transformer hum? Because it doesn't know the words. Or maybe magnetostriction. Great training. Thanks.

[@salhaibrahim9239]

Thank you

[@JesusCruz-wt2zp]

Thanks for your videos

[@binaryglitch64]

40:36 I think he means to say it's not layed out in a manner that is intuitive to him naturally. That just means he needs to learn the structure since it isn't immediately obvious to him. Personally, to understand the structure, I just looked at the table of contents and the numbering system and that's gotten my by for years... but I'm still watching, so maybe I'll pick up on something I've been missing and didn't even know.

[@hannahdunn1626]

Ray Morris is a great guy! His love for collecting code books is awesome! Yall should check him out on eBay. He sells copies of a code book!

[@binaryglitch64]

You said you got new equipment (for making videos) ... you definitely did... much better.

[@davep8366]

It may be logical - but could use a bit more consistency - Like the . 10 .12 .30 Etc... However these .xx should be the same in all articles - and there should be a bit more KISS priciple - One that comes to mind is 220.12 (in the 2020) the same amount of time, effort and print space they took to write the notes...They could have just put those occupancies above in the table ;) IMHO🤔

[@joshuacochran3006]

Thank you I am learning alot from your vedios thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@georgebradshaw4628]

Good afternoon

[@waynedoomad2573]

Great video, can you start a online code book study?

[@jackriley5974]

"How to use the NEC" How the NEC uses you? There are 292, 780 licensed electricians in America and probably that many who are unlicensed. The 2023 NFPA-70, sold by them, costs $145 making them, before expenses, $42,453,100. Divided by 3 and they're makin $14,151,033 annually. This is for the NEC code book. Other publications sold by the NFPA to explain the ambiguities in the book. The NFPA also publishes 5 fire and safety related code books costing $230 every three years bringing in at least 5 times as much as the NEC? That's close to $100,000,000 annually. The NFPA employs 600 people!!

[@oscar27ization]

What kind of software are you using to go over chapters and scroll down?

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

NFPA Link. For the code book, right?

[@oscar27ization]

@@RyanJacksonElectricalthanks a lot

[@jeepsaround]

The IEC of Utah tells us if we write in our NEC code book we can not use it for our Journeymen test because of test cheating.

[@jenko701]

Code camp old be a good title of the video

[@joejoe6949]

I’m have the 2011 code book on pdf i still use it to this day. Lol

[@alanagnew3451]

Sorry, Ryan, but they did change 300.5(D) in 2023, but at least (D)(3) stayed the same. Now they say "Conductors" instead of "Direct buried conductors," so direct buried is deleted. I wonder if that now means we now have to put a warning ribbon above a raceway as 1:33:40 speaks on in the video.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

I know, I hate that they did that!

[@jacobsidorin2055]

It’s funny guys that can’t pass the test often have an old code book.

[@kennethvargas5953]

Don’t highlight or write on your book if you plan on selling it later.
