Looking for an electrical work book
I took Electrical Construction and Maintenance back in 1980. There
was a loose leaf workbook that focused on just the residential parts of the code. Each section showed a part of a residential aspect of the National Electric Code. It had a section on service, pools, outside wiring, kitchen. I have called the tech school library and our local library here in town. I am waiting to hear back from both. Just a shot that someone here might know what the book may be called. I have Googled for a book on NEC residential, but nothing I have found so are seems to be the book. -- O'Neil to General Hammond: For the record Sir, I wanted to blow it the hell up. |

I have Googled for a book on NEC residential, but nothing I have found so are seems to be the book. It sounds like the NEC Handbook, which is an illustrated guide with common sense explanations. But other companies offer them besides the NEC, it's probably one of those. My electrician friend gets one that is particulary nice, with color illustrations, I'll ask him who publishes it. I am sure it is not the NEC Handbook. That book is really good, but it covers all of electrical work. The book I am looking for covers NEC for residential work only. |

The best resource I have seen for an illustrated explanation of the NEC code is Mike Holt's "understanding The National Electrical Code Vol. 1. All of Mike's material is first rate. http://www.mikeholt.com/productitem....ll&type=Boo k |

Thanks everyone Good idea to have a book the same as the NEC that is being enforced - probably not 2005. There are a lot of books out there. (I don't know which ones are good.) The NFPA puts out a residential version of the NEC. I presume it has the same basic organization, which is a problem for people not familiar with the code. The requirements for installing a new outlet are scattered in many locations. -- bud-- |
