New Hampshire Master Electrician (2020) Exam Book Package

The New Hampshire Master Electrician (2020) Exam Book Package is designed for candidates preparing for the New Hampshire master electrician licensing exam with a focused set of electrical code, state law, and trade reference materials. Master electrician preparation requires more than general electrical experience. Candidates need to understand how to navigate the National Electrical Code, apply electrical rules to practical questions, review New Hampshire licensing laws, and work efficiently through approved reference materials under timed exam conditions.

This package supports study for the New Hampshire master electrician exam using the 2020 National Electrical Code as the primary code reference, along with New Hampshire laws and rules, HB85 Chapter 157, Ugly’s Electrical References, and the American Electrician’s Handbook. Together, these materials help candidates review installation requirements, service and feeder rules, branch circuits, wiring methods, electrical equipment, motors, special occupancies, administrative requirements, and practical calculations.

Master electrician candidates are expected to demonstrate a higher level of electrical knowledge and responsibility. The exam is not simply a memory test. It measures a candidate’s ability to find the right rule, understand how it applies, and choose the correct answer within a limited testing period. A well-organized set of books can make a major difference in preparation because candidates can practice locating answers, marking important sections where permitted, and building familiarity with the structure of each reference.

The New Hampshire Master Electrician (2020) Exam Book Package is especially useful for licensed journeyman electricians, experienced electrical professionals, and candidates advancing toward master electrician licensure in New Hampshire. The included references support both technical exam preparation and review of New Hampshire-specific administrative material. Candidates should study consistently, practice timed code lookup, and become comfortable moving between the NEC, state rules, and supporting electrical references.

Because the New Hampshire master electrician exam includes administrative and trade-focused subject areas, candidates should not rely on the NEC alone. New Hampshire laws and rules are important for understanding licensing responsibilities, qualifications, board requirements, and regulatory expectations. The trade references help strengthen practical knowledge and calculation ability, while the NEC remains the main source for code-based installation requirements.

Exam Details

The New Hampshire master electrician licensing examination is administered through Prov for candidates approved by the New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification and the New Hampshire Electrician Board. Candidates must complete the appropriate state application process before scheduling the examination. Once approved for testing, candidates may schedule their exam through Prov.

The New Hampshire master electrician exam is a timed exam. The master electrician examination listed by Prov includes 125 questions with 5 hours allowed for testing. The passing score is 70%. Candidates should prepare for both electrical trade content and administrative content because the master electrician exam includes a larger administrative component than the journeyman examination.

The exam may include subject areas such as:

• General electrical knowledge
• Equipment for general use
• Motors and generators
• Control devices
• Special conditions
• Special equipment
• Special occupancies
• Services and service equipment
• Branch circuits and conductors
• Feeders
• Wiring methods and materials
• Administrative requirements

Master electrician candidates should prepare for advanced code navigation and practical code application. Questions may require the candidate to identify the correct NEC article, apply a table, evaluate a calculation, interpret a wiring method rule, or locate an administrative requirement in the New Hampshire laws and rules. Time management is important because even open book exams require fast and accurate reference use.

Open Book Test

The New Hampshire master electrician exam is an open book exam using authorized references. Open book testing gives candidates access to approved materials during the exam, but it does not remove the need for serious preparation. Candidates must know where information is located, how the books are organized, and how to apply the correct rule to each question.

Reference materials are reviewed before the candidate is permitted to use them in the testing room. Candidates should prepare their books using only permitted methods. Highlighting, underlining in pen, and permanent tabs are commonly allowed. Handwritten notes, movable tabs, Post-it notes, added photocopied pages, stickers, loose formula sheets, and test preparation study guides are not permitted as exam references. Candidates are also not allowed to write, highlight, underline, or mark in their reference materials during the exam.

For best results, candidates should organize their books before test day. Permanent tabs can help identify important NEC articles, common tables, definitions, grounding and bonding sections, services, feeders, motors, wiring methods, and state administrative rules. A prepared candidate should be able to move through the books quickly without relying on handwritten notes or loose materials.

Open book exams reward familiarity. Candidates who use the books only as a last-minute resource may lose valuable time searching. Candidates who practice reference navigation regularly can build speed, accuracy, and confidence.

The National Electrical Code, NEC, 2020 should be the center of the candidate’s technical study routine. Candidates should become familiar with the layout of the NEC, including the table of contents, index, definitions, chapters, articles, tables, and informational notes. Master electrician questions often require the ability to move from a topic to the correct rule quickly and apply that rule accurately.

Important NEC study areas include general requirements, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, equipment for general use, special occupancies, special equipment, and conditions affecting installation requirements. Candidates should also practice using NEC tables for conductor ampacity, raceway fill, box fill, grounding electrode conductors, equipment grounding conductors, and related calculation topics.

New Hampshire Laws and rules Elec 100-400, RSA319_C should be studied carefully for administrative content. Master electrician exams often include questions that test a candidate’s understanding of licensing responsibilities and regulatory procedures. Candidates should review definitions, qualifications, application rules, examination rules, licensing responsibilities, and board-related requirements.

HB85 Chapter 157 should be included in the study plan because it addresses New Hampshire-specific amendment material. Candidates should understand where this document fits within the broader exam reference set and practice locating it quickly during study sessions.

It can help candidates strengthen their understanding of electrical systems, motors, equipment, installation practices, calculations, and field application. Ugly’s Electrical References is useful for reviewing common formulas, conversions, electrical symbols, and practical calculation shortcuts.

A productive study plan should include timed practice. Candidates can select a topic, locate the applicable NEC rule or New Hampshire rule, and practice answering questions within a set time limit. This builds the habit of reading carefully, identifying the right reference, and avoiding unnecessary searching. Since the exam is open book, speed and organization can be just as important as knowledge.

Candidates should prepare their books in advance using compliant methods. Highlighting can draw attention to key language, underlining can help identify conditions or exceptions, and permanent tabs can reduce lookup time. Books should remain clean, organized, and free of handwritten notes or unauthorized additions.
