As I slowly read and internalize the NEC, my respect for electricians that spend seven years as apprentices and then get licensed grows and grows. Little things like terminating stranded wiring (which is stranded to allow easier pulling through conduit) seem like such little points, until you understand why they are required.
Personally I just want my pool pump plugged into a safe outlet and on a timer.
But I’m too cheap to spend more than a grand to do it…

LOL – I got your stranded wiring. question should be: why’s it take 7 yrs for an apprentice electrician to figure out stranded requires less friction than solid while pulling through conduit?! j/k gorski-man.
