“The online T&B guide to the 2017 NEC compiles our analyses of code changes that have affected T&B, ABB and Baldor products,” said David Kendall, director, industry affairs for installation products at ABB, Electrification Products division. “The online analysis is a training resource for T&B/ABB personnel, end users, specifiers, inspectors and distributors, as well as a tool for the training of electrical apprentices.”

Among the organizations that T&B assists with apprenticeship programs are the Electrical Training Alliance (etA), National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC).

The online T&B guide includes links to the website of the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI) for a complete analysis of the 2017 NEC, to the website of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) for state-by-state information about the adoption of the NEC and to the website of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to purchase the print version of the 2017 NEC.
