Synopsis

The National Electrical Code is an internationally accepted safety code for electrical and power wiring. It specifies the minimum provisions necessary for protecting people and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity and electrical equipment. Anyone involved in any phase of the electrical industry must be aware of how to use and apply the Code on the job. It undergoes a rigorous review and revision process every 3 years by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). This book provides step-by-step advice on all troublesome and controversial sections of the Code, enabling your electrical work to pass inspection the very first time. Extra-thorough explanations of the Code are included, without word-for-word reproduction of the Code. The book is authored by America's best-known electrical experts and the accompanying CD-ROM contains the text in searchable PDF format, plus a searchable index to the Code.
