In the state of GA we have 2 classes for electrical licenses, Class 1 is 200 amps or less residential only and Class 2 is EVERYTHING else including class 1
Currently I hold a class 1 licenses and have been wiring only 1 200 amp panel per house but the houses are starting to get bigger and will require 2 400 amp panels. The GA sos web page has this clause in their Rules for electrical licensing
(Statewide classI electrical contractor licenses are restricted to electrical contracting involving single-phase electrical installations which do
not exceed 200 amperes at the service drop or the service lateral. Class II electrical contractor licenses are unrestricted.)
I have had several other electricians to tell me that if the panels are only 200 amps then I am covered under the class 1 license.
Any Thoughts on this?
