Master The NEC | Episode 60 | Electrical Code Academy, Inc. and EC & M Magazine Unite

Big news is coming from Electrical Code Academy, Inc.

In this episode, Paul Abernathy shares the recent agreement between Electrical Code Academy, Inc. and EC&M Magazine, where Paul will be contributing six articles annually, along with twelve videos and twelve podcast episodes each year focused on key issues affecting the electrical industry.

The content will cover important developments in the 2026 National Electrical Code, but it will also go deeper into one of the most important relationships in the field: the interaction between electrical inspectors and electricians.

Paul will discuss how inspectors and electricians often approach the NEC from different perspectives, why interpretation can sometimes lead to disagreement, and why professionalism, communication, and mutual respect are essential for every project to succeed. Whether you are an electrician, inspector, contractor, engineer, AHJ, or code professional, this episode sets the stage for a powerful new series designed to bring clarity, practical insight, and real-world experience to the NEC conversation.

With nearly four decades in the electrical industry, including experience as a master electrician, electrical inspector, electrical supervisor, plan review professional, and NEC Code-Making Panel member, Paul brings a unique perspective to both sides of the inspection process.

This new collaboration with EC&M Magazine is about more than articles, videos, and podcasts. It is about helping the industry better understand the NEC, improve communication in the field, and build stronger working relationships between electricians and inspectors.

Topics include:

The new EC&M Magazine collaboration
The upcoming 2026 National Electrical Code
Common challenges in NEC interpretation
The relationship between electricians and inspectors
Why respectful disagreement matters
How better communication leads to safer, smoother projects
What listeners can expect from the upcoming article, video, and podcast series

Whether you are preparing for the next code cycle, working in the field, performing inspections, designing electrical systems, or training the next generation of electricians, this episode is one you do not want to miss.
