From the '99 NEC
"Qualified Person. One familiar with the construction and operation of the equipment and the hazards involved."




This has changed since

From the '02 NEC
"Qualified Person, One who has the skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training on the hazards involved.

How does this affect things?

Seeing the sparks flying from the second man in the series does add a new meaning to the term "live conductor."

I'm thinking that picture would look great hanging in our shop.

"Oh, a wise guy! Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!"

So where's Larry? At the other end of the feeder to that panel?

Here I am!

Nice pic, Larry!

Scene 141

Larry Fine enters Stage Left. He is carrying a wrecking bar and the remains of a large broken padlock.

"Hey Mo! Hey Curly! What schmuck went and put this stoopid padlock on the main panil!"

Mo; ( tearing himself off the hot wiring ) "You MORON!! Why, I aughta!".... (whacks Larry with length of Romex.)

Curly; (still wired into soykit) " Aaaaaaaaaaaarrgghhh!!! Toin it OFF!!!!"

Remember those guys from Saturday Morning cinema as if it were yesterday!
Another sign of a mis-spent youth.

Darn it, I'm laughing so much now that I can barely see my monitor!

From the '23 NEC
"Qualified Person. One familiar with the construction and operation of the apparatus and the hazards involved."

The only change in this definition from the '23 NEC to the '99 is the replacement of the word "apparatus" with "equipment".

I quote from the '23 NEC because I do not have a copy of the '30 NEC, which is the edition the Three Stooges would have used had they been "qualified persons" and actually read a codebook.

BTW, the word "apparatus" is still used in the '71 NEC. The change to "equipment" occurred in '75.

"We,Cheatem&Howe"

Actually, that's Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.

One of the happiest moments of my misspent youth was when I was about 8yrs.

I actually got to go to the Grand Opening of "The 3 Stooges meet Hercules" and see them in person.
It was the best thing in the World to me, and still is

Where'd you get a picture of my crew?
We've posted this in the shop with the (in)appropriate name tagging added.
