Disclaimer

This app provides informational electrical code guidance only. It does not replace the NEC, Oregon Electrical Specialty Code, utility requirements, permits, inspections, engineering judgment, or AHJ approval. Users are responsible for verifying all work with the applicable code books, utility, and local authority having jurisdiction.

No Warranty of Accuracy

Code text changes. Amendments, errata, local ordinances, and AHJ interpretations may differ from what the Service returns. Answers are generated by AI from indexed sources and may contain errors, omissions, or out-of-date citations. Always confirm against the currently adopted, published code.

Not Engineering Advice

Nothing in the Service constitutes engineering, legal, or professional advice. The Service does not perform load calculations, sizing, or design that a licensed professional must stamp. Use of the Service is not a substitute for retaining a qualified electrician, electrical engineer, or designer where one is required.

Permits, Inspections, and the AHJ

Permitted work requires inspection and approval by the AHJ. The AHJ has final authority over what is acceptable in their jurisdiction and may impose requirements that differ from or exceed the published code. Always confirm with your local building or electrical inspections office before performing or energizing work.

Utility Requirements

Service entrance, meter base, grounding, and clearances must comply with your serving utility's published requirements in addition to the code. Confirm with the utility before installation.

Safety

Electrical work can cause fire, injury, or death. If you are not qualified, hire a licensed electrician. Do not work on energized equipment.
