AI Thread Summary
When converting a residential building to a commercial space, it's essential to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC), specifically NFPA 70, to ensure compliance. Local building codes and ordinances may also impact the conversion process, making it crucial to check with the local city Building Inspector's office for guidance. Understanding which NEC sections apply can help address electrical safety and installation standards during the conversion. Engaging with local authorities can provide the most accurate and relevant information for the specific project. Proper adherence to these regulations is vital for a successful transition from residential to commercial use.

Does anyone know which parts of the NEC (NFPA 70) are applicable when looking at converting a residential building to a commercial building. Such as converting homes into a buisness/offices.

I'd just pay a visit to your local city Building Inspector's office. That will give you the quickest answer, especially if there are any local ordinances that are applicable.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
