Air Conditioning

The National Electrical Code and Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning have some shared roles for both electricians and HVAC Installers and technicians. There are some specific categories in the NEC that are applied to HVAC and making calculations for circuits and wire sizing for HVAC appliances. Article 440 does not cover such household appliances as room air-conditioners, household refrigerators and freezers, drinking water coolers, or beverage dispensing machines, because these are appliances and must comply with Article 422.  Article 440 requires you to locate the disconnecting means within sight of, and readily accessible from, the air-conditioning or refrigerating equipment.

Grounding & Bonding

(If you DON’T NEED NEW JERSEY just type an X in the NJ license field) The importance of bonding and grounding in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings cannot be overstated. The grounded circuits of machines need to have an effective return path from the machines to the power source in order to function properly. In addition, non-current-carrying metallic components in a facility, such as equipment cabinets, enclosures, and structural steel, need to be electrically interconnected so voltage potential cannot exist between them.
