Question: I am preparing a NEC update class using Mike Holt's excellent 2011 Changes book as the textbook. I was looking at 230.82(5) in the changes book, which says the Code changed the word "tap" to "connections". In my 2011 Code book 230.82(5) still says tap, and the only change in the section is to add (9) which allows communications equipment to be connected ahead of the service disconnect, with stipulations.Am I missing something?Thanks,Gary
You are correct. The 2011 NEC did not change the word "tap" to "connections" in 230.82(5). The 2011 NEC did add 230.82(9) to allow communications equipment to be connected ahead of the service disconnect, with stipulations.Mike Holt's 2011 Changes book is an excellent resource, but it is not always 100% accurate. It is always best to refer to the actual NEC code book to verify any changes. Flag for review
