With that logic we should all be driving M1 tanks so our children will be protected from car crashes. When something is made safer while making it cheaper, it's a successful design.

I just passed my journeyman test in Texas. Thanks for all your videos and help. It took my 3 times but 3rd times the charm. Master coming up in 2 year. Thanks for all you do for the trade.

Coach Question how about an existing residence does all receptacles need to be tamper resistant

might be good. yet, as i had 2 electrical inspectors tell me. both said there are people will figure out that they can,t afford to call in a electrician or company. as the NEC is driving up costs. so those who can,t afford it will hire every Tom, Dick and Harry down the street to come over on the weekend to install a outlet or more lighting. and I am a electrician. been in the trade since Aug. 1978

So would a house built on concrete slab (no basement) need dual function on all the rec/outlets?

sir is there in the code where how many number of outlet receptacles must be in basements?

I was under the impression that the only time that you had to bring the whole circuit up to code in regard to a changing a device is if you extend that circuit. I know that afci and gfci is great technology but for the sake of code I was curious

Nope, if you change the device it's required to be AFCI protected, just like if we change the receptacle that's supposed to be GFCI

So houses built on slabs are essentially basements from a concrete standpoint. So, they all require GFCI?

I haven't read the 2020 NEC code yet, however why you didn't mention anything about basement areas considered living areas like bedrooms hallways that require AFCI like it is required on any space above ground?. YOU ARE CORRECT CHANGES ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD, SINCE IT TAKES THAT ONE TIME.

My dumb ass got shocked by a 10.3 Sansa 30 amps no load just told him to turn it on and I was still touching it 😅 all my fault but yeah was in a basement on concrete😂 didn’t feel good
