Electrical Exam Preparation | Reason #4

well hey everybody welcome back to our

reasons for joining the fast tracks

program

now up to this point we've learned that

the first reason was we have over a

thousand comprehensive questions

to help you study the national

electrical code and they simulate

a real exam environment we also learned

that we have some of the best

illustrations and graphics in the

industry in our fast tracks program

everything's called out it's very clear

the graphics are lifelike and it

really helps you learn the national

electrical code because you start

tickling all those senses right

the visual you you start to see all the

call outs and it makes it easy to

understand

well we looked also at the benefit of

the third reason

and that was calculations our process

really does break calculations down and

again for some people that is

really a tricky area and we make it so

easy to understand

but we're here at reason number four to

join our fast tracks program so

let's look at it and you've heard me

talk about this for many years now you

can get books

you can get dvds but they really don't

give you the

immersive interaction that our program

gives

but here's something else now for years

i've told people

create flash cards for example article

210

branch circuits on the other side put

brand circuits do this for all important

articles

sections tables definitions

anything that will help you better

understand the national electrical code

but better yet let me show you what this

is all about

so here you see our fast tracks program

and i want to show you a

powerful feature utilizing the flash

card program

okay so very powerful feature so i'm

going to take me

and i'm going to make me travel all the

way over here

because i want to show you an important

feature in your fast tracks program

you'll notice down here at the bottom

right it's called flash cards

now you've heard me talk about making

flash cards they are critical to really

understanding the national electrical

code

so i'm going to click on that and i'm

going to show you now

in here you've got flashcards for every

unit in our program

so you have the introduction definitions

boxes and enclosures

they correspond with our units within

the fast track

so let's just do an example let's go to

let's say

load calculations so in low calculations

for example calculated load for each

laundry circuit in a dwelling unit now

as you go through the program you'll

you'll realize that we're talking about

1500 va

so you click it and remind you it's 1500

va so these flash cards are designed for

you to work through

click another one appliance okay well

these utilization equipment

they come in standardized sizes like

washing machines

garbage disposals click appliance there

you go

utilization equipment built in standard

sizes and types

we have flash cards that are embedded

throughout the course

but here's another neat thing i like to

put up here in unit one

which is some general definitions and

explanations like nrtl which is

nationally recognized testing laboratory

but here's what i like to do remember i

told you about the importance of

creating flashcards

you can create your own check this out i

go down here where it says create a card

i click it and right here let's say i

want to create

a flash card because i want to remember

the equipment grinding conductor table

250.122 okay so i can put table

250.122 and then down here

i can put sizing equipment

grounding conductors

and that is a table and so actually i

can put look

how about this table for

sizing equipment granite conductors then

click save

now what you've done is you created a

flash card and you can create

unlimited numbers of flashcards again i

recommend that you do these

for articles i recommend you do these

for various

uh tables for definitions

uh anything that that you feel would be

really good to test yourself on a

regular basis

that's what flash cards are all about

they're included in our program

unlimited number so what's table 250.122

this is a table for sizing equipment

grounding conductors

you could do that for 250.66 for sizing

grinding electrode conductors

you can do that for the articles article

210 branch circuits

215 feeders 225 which would be

outside brand circuits and feeders you

can do it for

any article and really test your

knowledge now we have a bunch of them

built in

but you can do that to test your

knowledge but i've got something else

for you

now let's say you're in the middle of

the program and you want to create your

own flash card in the middle of a

program check this out let's go to

cables

go to your reading material and as

you're going through the program let's

say i want to create

right here i want to create a reminder

flash card let's say to remind me

about the 1 16 inch thick nail plates

that are necessary when nmb penetrates

through say wood members and i want to

maintain that distance okay

well check this out where nails or

screws are likely to penetrate

non-metallic sheath cable

or electrical non-metallic tubing a

steel plate

clip or sleeve at least 1 16 of an inch

thick shall be used to protect the cable

the sheathing now see how i highlight

this with my left button held down on my

mouse

once i let up it creates this dialog

menu

add flash card check this out now we're

talking about 300.4 b2 right

watch this click that up here 300.4

b 2 and here it puts all the information

down in here

and so all i'm going to do is add this

to make sure it shows it is

as as we have it on the screen now watch

this

click save 300.4 b2

reminds me nail plates likely to

penetrate

metallic sheath cable or electrical

non-metallic tubing

the steel plate is at least 1 16 of an

inch and

thick and again you can do this

endlessly if i wanted to create another

one

let's say i wanted to create one for

let's just sue for feeders

so i want to learn the article so it's

article

215 and then down here i can put

feeders and click save now i created a

flash card for article 215. you click it

it's feeders so you can create these all

throughout the nec it doesn't matter

where you are

you can include these so i like to put

all of the ones that i create

in unit one but you can do it however

you want that's the power

of the program so let's kind of get it

back to me

and i will really get i get excited

about it because i'm telling you

it's endless what you can do with flash

cards and they are a powerful tool in

learning and understanding the national

electrical code

so that was the benefit number four or

the reason number four that you should

invest in the fast tracks program but

stay tuned

we're going to look at reason number

five and it is very ballistically

dynamic

so hopefully you're excited about that

and thank you for watching

and stay tuned it should pop up right

about right here

and then you can go to the next video

till next time stay safe

god bless shut up and sit down
