    I like the show, very informative, but the host just spent 20 minutes saying the same thing three different ways. Yes. +120 and -120 are 180° out if phase. You only need to say that once. I guess there is a need to pad out the episode so you can fit ads in.

Master The NEC | Episode 42 | Ampacity of Conductors Explained
Q: What size THHN copper conductor do you need for a 40 amp continuous load with seven current carrying conductors?
For a 40 amp continuous load, taking corrections into account, you would need at least a 6 gauge conductor after adjustments.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 199 | Question about sizing the GEC Common Conductor
Q: Does 250.66A apply, and do I have to size my grounding electrode conductor any larger than a 6 if I have ground rods?
Yes, you can size the grounding electrode conductor based on 250.66A as long as it doesn't extend to other electrodes that require a larger conductor.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 195 | NM Cable always requires junction boxes at splices?
Q: Is he allowed to stub out the Romex wire in an exterior wall without a box?
No, a box is typically required unless there are specific exceptions under the code.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 213 | Will AI Take My Job? | Message To NFPA
Q: Paul, do you think that AI will take electrician jobs in the future?
No, AI will not replace electricians in their skilled tasks, though it may assist in some aspects of the job.
Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 208 | Wall Spacing Question and Sprinkler Systems and Horns
Q: In a dwelling unit with a fire sprinkler system and a fire bell, does the fire bell have to be on a dedicated circuit, and does it have to comply with the National Electrical Code, Article 760 and NFPA 72?
It's likely not a fire alarm system but rather a notification system. If it doesn't have a control panel, it doesn't have to comply with 760 regulations, but a dedicated circuit is recommended for safety.
