    Master The NEC | Episode 26 | Pull Calculations are Vital | Talking PullSPEC!
    Jun 29 2025
    Master The NEC | Episode 26 is about the importance of Pull Calculations in medium to large scale projects where the owners, such as the Amazon's of the world, and the electrical contractor and electrical design professional want a third part to do pull calculations to ensure the utmost accuracy of the pull by reducing the risk of conductor damage during the pull but also long term.

    Remember, the product is only successful if the conductors or cable are not damaged. A code compliant installation of raceways do not always mean the conductors will go into the raceway system without damage to the installation. We provide specific Check Lists to every pull based on our analysis of each individual pull. The newest trend is to asign this assurance to the experts and our PullSPEC™ services provides that extra level of assurance. All pull calculations and analysis reports are confirmed by wire and cable experts with over 11 years of dedicated service to that industry as well as nearly 40 years of NEC expertise.

    Master The NEC | Episode 25 | First Thoughts of some of the NITMAMS In this episode, Paul talk about some of the 2026 NITMAM (CAMS) that took place in Vegas.

    Remember, Successful amending motions must then be confirmed by the responsible Technical Committee by ballot. My podcast is about the outcome of the NITMAM only, not the final vote by the various CMP's who will disregard the will of the membership and fail the CAMS resulting in reversion to the second draft language.
