  • defining good-quality wiring practices
  • identifying poor wiring practices
  • examining various conduit, raceway, harness, and strapping products that aid in good-quality wiring installations
  • listing resources for good wiring practices such as the National Electrical Code
  • identifying potential safety concerns surrounding poor cabling installations
  • estimating the potential cost difference between good-quality and poor wiring installations.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is it important to always “dress up” your wiring installations?
  • Why is it important for a technician to be familiar with the latest products made to help create quality wiring installations?
  • What might be some potential safety concerns with poorly wired installations?
