The selected classification should match the electrical contracting work the candidate intends to supervise, direct, bid, and perform after licensing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe examination covers technical electrical knowledge and North Carolina-specific regulatory subjects. Technical preparation may include electrical theory, wiring and protection, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductor sizing, raceways, boxes, motors, transformers, generators, special occupancies, special equipment, fire alarms, and practical calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalculation questions require candidates to identify the correct code rule before completing the arithmetic.
