Texas PSI Exam Prep - Chapter 2 Review


There are some sections of chapter two that you will see in the exam.  You’ll also have some smaller sections that we are not going to focus on today since they account for less than two questions out of 100.

You’ll see these in the test, so write this down.


Here are the most important Articles in Chapter 2:

*210...Branch Circuit Rules & Requirements. - You'll also find the rules for GFCI installation, your arc fault rules and requirements.

*215...Feeders. 

*220...Calculations. - This article is specific calculations. The test is very heavy on article 220. You've got to know article 220 very well.  In the seminar we go through it a lot.  You’ll leave the seminar with 220 oozing out of your ears. 

This will actually be useful for you.  It is a good tool to know for your trade. 


*225...Outside Circuits and Feeders.

*230...Services. - Oftentimes you'll see test questions that have references to both Articles 225 and 230. It’s a two-part lookup question where you have to look up an outside service issue.

So you’ll have to refer to both articles in order to answer that question.

*240...OCPD (Breakers/Fuses). - In article 240 is your overcurrent protective devices

*250...Grounding. - You're going to have quite a few grounding questions.  The separately derived system category in the PSI candidate bulletin that actually has a lot to do with grounding.

You'll see separately derived system grounding rules and procedures set out and stipulated.




Thank you for reading, make sure to learn more about the upcoming seminars.  We go over everything you need specifically for the exam in Texas.

Texas Electricians- The End is Near- How to Avoid Getting Lost in the Shuffle

How to Avoid Getting Lost in the Shuffle If you haven't heard that the end of the 2011 NEC Exams is coming up, then you've been living under a rock or working way too hard. That's right guys, if you have applied to take your exam but have not yet passed or even taken the exam, you have a deadline.  As of September 1, 2014, the TDLR will only accept and recognize the 2014 version of the  National Electrical Code ®  on the field and in the testing site.  The exam will be based on the 2014 version of the book, you will still be allowed to bring in your 2011 but we do not recommend that.  If you already have your 2014, you must have already noticed that there a great deal of updates on the code.  Your first clue should be the number of pages, the book has gotten BIGGER! We have the last few seminars already lined up, there is limited seating and I strongly recommend that you reserve a seat.  Alternatively, if you don't have time for a seminar and...

Electrical Code Question and Exemptions - Don’t Get Fooled

Electrical Code question for the electrical license exam.  This tip is absolutely one of the major tips I've got to share with you. And that is NEC code question exceptions. If you look on the Candidate Information Bulletin from PSI, you will see a major note under examination reference material. It says “when responding to the test questions DO NOT consider code exceptions, unless the test question specifically directs you to consider them”. That is a very critical note, many fellows fall for this trick in these types of NEC code questions. Perfect Example of This Tricky Electrical Code Question Just about every electrician has done overhead service at least once in their lifetime career.  What is your normal average height above a rooftop? If you had a NEC code question that asked you what the minimum distance is, what would you answer? 3  6  8  10  3 feet because that's how we do it all the time. I have done two in my lifetime ...
