Illustrated Guide to
the National Electrical Code,
5E (2011 NEC)
| by Charles Miller |
5th
Edition |
ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE® 5E provides readers with a unique approach to mastering
the Code, using highly-detailed, technically-accurate illustrations
and visuals to break down and simplify the expanding volume and
complexity of the
2011 National Electrical Code®.
By translating the sometimes vague,
complicated wording of the Code into straightforward illustrations
and clear explanations, this book provides a resource that will
facilitate comprehension and application of Code requirements for
beginning and master electricians alike.
Material is organized logically, covering
fundamental provisions first, then grouping code requirements by the
type of occupancy, beginning with one-family dwellings and
progressing on to multi-family housing, commercial locations, and
special occupancies. This organization also reflects how information
is needed when working in the electrical industry, better preparing
readers for the real world.
The fifth edition of ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE® discusses the new Code changes and shows
some of these Code changes through new illustrations while
incorporating other Code changes into existing illustrations. Its
comprehensive coverage, innovative learning approach, and
industry-based organization make this an indispensable supplement to
the NEC® whether readers need information on a specific area or need
to learn the complete Code

About the Author:
Charles Miller:
For eighteen years Charles R. Miller owned and operated a
successful commercial electrical contracting company (Lighthouse
Electric Co., Inc.) in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1988 he began, and
continues to operate, a second company dedicated to electrical related
training, known as Lighthouse Educational Services.
Mr. Miller teaches custom tailored
classes and seminars covering various aspects of the electrical
industry. Class and seminar attendees have spanned the globe, bringing
to each session immensely diverse backgrounds. Such diversity requires
and receives a unique teaching approach to guarantee that all students
within a class are afforded an equal opportunity to learn. Individuals
employed by companies such as Ford, Textron, The Aerostructures
Corporation, Aladdin Industries; by academic institutions such as
Tennessee State and Vanderbilt Universities; and governmental agencies
including NASA and even Nashville's own Electrical Inspection and
Codes Department, have attended and praised the curriculum offered by
Lighthouse Educational Services.
In 1999, Charlie wrote and
illustrated a nationally published text book on the NEC® titled
Illustrated Guide to the National Electrical Code®. In 2000, he
started writing and illustrating a monthly column in the electrical
industry's top magazine. In 2001, Charles R.
Miller was contracted by NFPA to write two pocket guides to the NEC®.
Both books are titled Pocket Guide to Electrical Installations Under
NEC 2002.
Currently, besides his writing and
illustrating, Charles is a co-host for a home improvement radio show
in Nashville, Tennessee. The two-hour show airs every Saturday
morning.
