Illustrated guide to the National Electrical Code
Book - 1999
The author uses highly detailed, technically accurate illustrations to make even the most complex aspects of the code easier to understand and apply, translating the often complicated language of the NEC into clear, simple instructions and helpful visuals. Organized logically to make learning easier, the text introduces you to fundamental concepts before progressing to requirements for various dwellings, from one-family homes to multi-family housing, commercial locations and special occupancies. In addition, a convenient, modular format makes it easy to reference relevant information whenever you need it.
