Practical Electrical Wiring: Residential, Farm, Commercial & Industrial: Based on the 2002 National Electrical Code

FREDERIC P. HARTWELL builds on the strong foundation of H. P. Richter's classic, bringing Practical Electrical Wiring completely up-to-date with the 2002 National Electrical Code and the latest industry technology and wiring practices. The book has been fundamentally rewritten and reorganized to prepare readers to meet today's needs in all segments of the trade.

For the practitioner and the student-practical guidance in a single volume.

This compact all-in-one resource tells how to apply NEC rules in the most efficient manner in varied settings, with the regulations applying to a particular type of installation together in one place. Design pointers on how to make installations convenient and neat are another example of the "practical" aspect of the book. Job planning, techniques, and wiring calculations are explained in a detailed yet easy-to-understand style. Hartwell gives hints, cautions, and handy tricks used by veteran practitioners and offers rarely available information from an insider's perspective. For many topics you get not just today's rules, but a look back at how those rules came about over the years-useful in identifying and working on wiring systems of any age.
