im new to electicians school and was wondering if the nec will solve almost any problem an electican may have?

Not entirely. The NEC is a set of rules intended to ensure public safety, but the problems an electrician is likely to encounter are not code related. Electricians must perform installations that meet the customer's expectations, can be done economically and are code compliant.

Most problems are technical or mechanical in nature, that's where experience comes in. It takes years of experience to solve installation problems, once you have chosen a solution, now you must use your knowledge of the NEC to make sure your solution is code compliant.

Good question.

The code is written by wonderfully intelligent experienced men who know way more than us simple electricians. The code does not allow two neutrals under one screw in the neutral bus. That is unsafe. It does allow two or more neutrals under one wirenut in a junction box two feet away from the panel however. That is safe. I can see the difference, can't you?

Ours is not to reason why ----------

Hopefully those neutrals in the wire nut are part of the same circuit.

Yes it will and it makes a damn nice door stop as well.
