One- and Two-Family Dwelling Electrical Systems, 10E, based on the 2017 NEC

One- and Two-Family Dwelling Electrical Systems has been developed for those involved in design, installation, or inspection of electrical systems in new and existing dwellings.

A greater percentage of the NEC rules apply to residential installations than to any other occupancy. These residential requirements are found throughout the entire (NEC) codebook, rather than being concentrated into particular chapters as are other occupancy requirements.

Now in its Tenth edition, this book explains the design, installation and inspection of electrical systems in new and existing one- and two-family dwellings. The text covers the subject in detail and meticulously updates the material as it pertains to the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC).

Packed with illustrations, this book will demonstrate general requirements; branch-circuit, feeder and service calculations; installing services; service grounding and bonding requirements; cabinets, meter socket enclosures, switches and panelboards; feeders and overcurrent protection; branch circuits and wiring methods; outlet, device, pull and junction boxes, conduit bodies and fitting; light fixtures and receptacles; appliances; fixed electric space-heating equipment; air conditioning and heat-pump equipment; swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and hydromassage bathtubs; outbuildings, existing installations and re-inspections; and special systems.

This Tenth edition covers the subject in detail and provides information relative to application of not only the 2017 NEC, but also the 2018 International Residential Code.

The materials of this textbook have been thoroughly and competently updated to assist anyone involved in design, installation, or inspection of electrical systems in new and existing dwellings.
