What it is
The Electrical Association offers state-approved continuing education courses for licensed electricians, including a self-paced course reviewing Class 4 Fault-Managed Power Systems aligned with 2026 NEC code updates. The course is approved for license renewal in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana.
Why it matters
As the 2026 NEC adopts Class 4 provisions, electrical contractors must understand FMP system design, installation, and inspection requirements to remain compliant and competitive. Multi-state approval indicates growing AHJ acceptance and creates a trained workforce capable of specifying and installing FMP systems, reducing code-friction risk for early adopters.
Evidence from source:
- Course explicitly covers ‘Class 4 Fault-Managed Power Systems’ as part of 2026 NEC code update curriculum
- CE credits approved for licensure renewal in 7 states (MN, ND, SD, NE, WY, CO, MT), indicating multi-jurisdictional code adoption momentum
- Priced at $397 as part of structured continuing education offering, not a promotional webinar

Open questions
- What specific Class 4 installation or inspection requirements does the course emphasize for 2026 NEC compliance?
- Are other state licensing boards adding FMP-specific CE requirements as adoption accelerates?
