The Best of the Worst: 2020’s Worst Code Violations

Though the Best of the Worst could apply to just about anything in 2020, EC&M magazine creates their annual Best of the Worst Code Violations List, showcasing the most interesting and bizarre electrical installations featured in this popular department from the previous year. These violations underscore the importance of training and the IECRM Apprenticeship Program!

Thanks to NEC Consultant Russ LeBlanc, who continues to amaze us with a seemingly unlimited supply of electrical blunders from the field, EC&M presents (in no particular order) the “best of the worst” What’s Wrong Here photos from 2020. Read each hint, and then click the next slide to read the technical analysis from Russ on each Code violation (based on the 2020 NEC). Click here for the slideshow.
