The danger. Water and electricity don't mix! Not only are marinas and boat docks sitting on the water, but in addition, the marine environment is a harsh one.

Planning for safety. A marina or dock installer is required to make special provisions for fluctuations in water level, the corrosive influences of a wet environment, and the dangers of electric shock. Article 555 contains the special installation requirements and precautions that must be considered for electrical equipment installed in these locations to be safe.

Free PDF Article 555. This content is extracted from Mike Holt's Illustrated Guide to Understanding the National Electrical Code Volume 2, based on the 2023 NEC. It will bring you up to speed on the special installation requirements for marinas, boatyards, and docking facilities. If you want more great information on other installation requirements for Special Occupancies, Special Equipment, or Special Conditions, click here to purchase or review this and other products from Mike's Understanding the National Electrical Code series.

  • Thank you for all you do. Sharing these clips are great for expanding knowledge and know-how but knowing the code is only half the battle. In the times we live in with everything going on in the world, I think it would be great to also share clips from your Life Skills course. God Bless

    Life Skills was an amazing product!

  • Thank you, Mike. I have followed you for years, bought some of your books and videos. 12 years ago, I studied up using your guidance and passed my master electrician exam on the first try. I now own a successful electrical company, Blackhawk Electrical Services , LLC located in Louisiana. I am extremely grateful for all I have learned from you. I give God all the glory. Again, thank you very much.
