and Bonding, 6E
Updated
to the 2020 NEC
Learn the essentials of
electrical grounding and bonding. Based upon the 2020 NEC
Practical, user-friendly and
updated to reflect the
2020 National Electrical Code®,
Simmons' ELECTRICAL GROUNDING AND BONDING, Sixth Edition
delivers complete coverage of grounding and bonding requirements in
both Article 250 and Chapter 5 of the NEC®.
Detailed explanations, real-world
examples and full-color illustrations help readers master and apply
key electrical concepts, such as calculating conductor sizes,
reading and interpreting NEC tables, using grounded conductor
connections in DC and AC systems, managing installations and sizing,
and applying "green" practices for energy efficiency and
environmental sustainability.
Providing exhaustive explanations
of concepts and requirements in the NEC, it is ideal for students in
degree programs, professional training, apprenticeships through
Independent Electrical Contractors and electrical training
ALLIANCE (formerly NJATC) courses.
Features:
-
Engaging explanations,
realistic examples and step-by-step instructions to help readers
understand, apply and master the fundamentals of electrical
grounding and bonding.
-
Updated content covers
understanding when electrical systems are required to be
grounded, calculating conductor sizes for grounding and bonding,
reading and interpreting NEC® tables, using grounded conductor
connections in DC and AC systems, managing installations and
sizing, and so much more.
-
In addition to current
regulations and requirements, the text offers detailed insight
on emerging industry trends and practices, including methods and
materials designed to promote energy efficiency and
environmental sustainability.
