The classification has specific limits involving voltage, amperage, phase, equipment, wiring, and the locations where work may be performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washington 07B Administrator examination combines National Electrical Code knowledge, electrical theory, and Washington-specific electrical laws and rules. Candidates should be prepared for questions involving general NEC requirements, wiring and protection, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, electrical equipment, motors and HVAC equipment, special equipment, emergency and standby systems, special conditions, and Washington administrative requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectrical administrators have an important compliance role in Washington. An administrator assigned to an electrical contractor helps ensure that the contractor follows Washington electrical laws and rules and performs work within the contractor's authorized classification. A specialty administrator may only be assigned to an electrical contractor holding the corresponding specialty, which makes a clear understanding of the 07B scope especially important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWashington electrical administrator examinations are \u003cstrong\u003eopen book\u003c\/strong\u003e.
