Summary

Written for practitioners -- electricians, contractors, architects, and plant engineers -- as well as for homeowners and apprentices, this classic reference provides all of the relevant National Electrical Code regulations for different types of jobs in a single volume. Completely updated to parallel the new electrical code and featuring 25 tables with reproductions and excerpts from the NEC itself, this on-the-job resource addresses today's wiring practices and industry technology, including electronic advances in circuit control and operation. Beginning with a basic refresher on codes, product standards, and basic concepts of electrical power, it covers the major segments of the trade -- residential, farm, commercial, and industrial -- and puts concepts into practice with samples of typical installations. Included in this revised edition are 475 all-new illustrations, a new 30-page index, and additional material on topics such as sizing conductors for all load conditions, selecting conductors for residential wiring, and installing underfloor and strut-type raceways.
