Spot the violation

Twelve drawn scenes. In each one, exactly one thing is wrong. You click it.

Michigan reads the 2023 book

The Michigan examinations reference the 2023 National Electrical Code, with Michigan’s Part 8 amendments. This page holds 2026 table values, so check anything you rely on against your own 2023 copy. The 2023 to 2026 crosswalk maps every section that moved.

The article level moves are concentrated at the two ends of the book: Chapter 1 took in load calculations from Article 220 and energy management from Article 750, and the limited energy and communications material was rebuilt across the 720s. Ampacity, overcurrent, grounding, motors and boxes kept their articles, and Chapter 9 is still the tables.

Most of the code that fails real work is spatial. How much room is in front of a panel, how many conductors are in a box, whether you can see the disconnect from where you are standing. A paragraph cannot ask that question honestly and a drawing can, so this asks it with a drawing.

Every region gets an explanation, not only the wrong one. The four that are fine in each scene are the ones people click, and knowing why they are fine is most of what separates a candidate who has read the section from one who remembers the general idea.

No number off a code table appears anywhere here. Where a scene needs a figure it is stated on the drawing as a given. The requirement itself is in your own book, which is where the exam expects you to look for it.
