National Electric Code – An In-Depth Study of the New 2017 Marina Electrical Codes

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has made some significant changes to the current 2017 National Electric Code (NEC) that will affect the marina industry. ABYC members are invited to a free webinar led by Gary Loftis, Senior Electrical Engineer with Maffett Loftis Engineering, where he will:

• Explain the new definitions and how they impact the marina’s electrical systems
• Break down and explain the language of the Tentative Interim Amendment’s Ground-Fault Protection (GFP) requirements
• Explain where GFP is and is not required in the marina’s electrical system and the required trip levels of the GFP device
• Explain and provide examples of GFP coordination
• Explain the differences between Ground Fault Circuit interrupter (GFCI) and GFP
