    Let’s Ask Paul Podcast | Episode 197 | Explaining Dry, Damp, and Wet Locations
    Dec 22 2024
    Listen as Paul Abernathy, CEO, and Founder of Electrical Code Academy, Inc., the leading electrical educator in the country, discusses electrical code, electrical trade, and electrical business-related topics to help electricians maximize their knowledge and industry investment.

    In this episode, Paul is asked to explain the interpretation of Dry, Damp, and Wet Locations and how to tell which is which. Now, clearly this can have different interpretations based on regional conditions of use and some inspectors may view things differently depending on historical data from their location they are charged with ensuring safe construction. In many cases the NEC is ambiguous on purpose so that each locality can interpret a code reference more germane to their area and just something being black and white. Does this mean arguments can happen on the interpretation, oh most certainly that can happen. So, in this episode we talk about these definitions, and I will give you, my thoughts.
