What's new

Troubleshooting you have to work for

The complaint comes first and you earn the rest — walk in, meter it, kill it and ring it out, then open the boxes. Answer while four faults still fit and it tells you that you guessed. Ringing out a live circuit is refused, with the reason.

Tap a conductor, see what it reads

Solved per switch position by the same engine that grades the lesson. A switched leg with the switch off is pulled low through the lamp, not floating — and an open conductor is never described as reading zero.

Permit Assistant: what usually fails

Fourteen corrections that actually get written up, each one something you can check yourself with a tape measure before anybody schedules anything. Turnaround stays a question with somewhere to record the answer.

A refusal you can argue with

SparkAI now says it will not guess rather than that it cannot verify, and every refusal carries somewhere to go — plus a way to report it if it should have known.

Panel Schedule

Catches a multiwire branch circuit with both hots on the same phase — the neutral carries the sum of both loads and no breaker ever trips.

Projects

Photos, daily logs, calculations, permits and exports on one job, with a timeline that does not close. Exports are scoped by who is reading them.
