Single most important section of the NEC!
I am new to this site so forgive me if the following question has already been asked. In your honest opinion what is the single most important section in the NEC? Please be specific. Example NEC 90-1, NEC 110.14, NEC 310.16. Stating an entire article is to vague.

For real? Maybe to some niche contractors or "industrial only" guys.
I'll also agree that Art.250 is one of the "single most important" articles, along with 300 & 310.

My original question was "single most important code section" not article.

How about 394.  But seriesly it is very hard to say that one section is more inportant that another because they are supose to all work together.

Well you'll never get that answer. I like 110.12 but impossible to enforce.

I think learning to use the index is the most helpful item to someone new in the trade.

THe NEC cannot be taken in bits and pieces and must be considered as a WHOLE. Every section whether hard to understand or as plain as black and white is important.
