I would like to know of any special words used in the electrical inspections made by a Home Inspector, for example:


    What is a conduit body?

    What is a fitting?

    What is an individual branch circuit?

    What is the required color of an equipment grounding that is insulated?

    What is meant by "Cover" as it relates to an underground branch circuit?

    What is XHHW?


Add more and ask questions!!
