Electrical Wiring Industrial 13E

Updated to reference the 2008 National Electrical Code, this edition of Electrical Wiring Industrial guides readers step-by-step through the wiring of an entire industrial building, making this an ideal resource for anyone who will work in the industrial electricity industry.

With a practical, straightforward approach, the book begins by covering the tasks and responsibilities that face today's professional industrial electricians, including: installation of electrical service, power and lighting; special new construction systems; changeovers from old systems; planning for growth and increased capacity; and periodic maintenance procedures.

Specific references to the 2008 National Electrical Code throughout the book shows readers how to incorporate codes and principles into everyday practice and procedures.

A complete set of industrial building plans is also included, offering opportunities for hands-on practice in interpreting and applying Code requirements to sitework, feeder bus systems, panelboards, fiber optics, harmonics, hazardous locations, and more.

Features:

• New chapter on basic motor control
• New chapter on developing a program for a PLC
• New, updated photographs, diagrams, and illustrations add clarity to explanations of critical concepts
• Updated examples depict the application of 2008 NEC requirements to power distribution, conductor sizing, motor connection, power factor correction, plus lighting requirements
• Math concepts are clearly explained, and kept at a basic level to provide precisely the skills needed to succeed on the job without overwhelming readers with complicated concepts
