Clip Summary
Bob meets Eddie Fisher, the master electrician on the Brooklyn project's infrastructure team. A team of five electricians from AC/DC Electric is rewiring the building from basement to roof deck. New York City building codes often require the use of materials and techniques not usually seen in residential construction. For example, between the main electrical box and each GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) circuit, there must be separate power lines. Also required by code is the use of metal-shielded cable (known as BX cable). BX is a rigid, flexible metal conduit with a wire bundle, consisting of individually insulated conductors covered by a flexible spiral-wound layer of metal. BX typically lasts longer than vinyl-clad cable.
