NEC®, but extremely useful to electricians on the job. This is a
comprehensive, trusted resource you will reference time and time
again throughout your career.
Features:
- The authors emphasize the most
recent NEC® changes as well as their significance to
promote understanding of how the Code® is both
interpreted and applied in specific field situations.
- The book's proven methods help
your students better understand Code® requirements for
performing electrical calculations by emphasizing the
common calculations a professional typically encounters
in everyday wiring.
- Dynamic illustrations in this
edition provide numerous references to Code® sections to
guide your students to efficiently find information
throughout the Code®. The illustrations further help
your students gain an understanding of a typical
application of a particular Code® section.
