A Note to the Reader
The DeWALT Electrical Code Reference is not a formal code interpretation and is not intended to replace the code. You will need a copy of the 2005 and 2008 NFPA 70 National Electrical Code to check all references given in this book.
This book is designed to help you understand some, but not all, phases of electrical installations. The guidelines illustrated in this book are not the only way to install the systems shown. Local codes sometimes have exceptions or regulations that are enforced along with the 2005 and 2008 National Electrical Code.
Anyone working on an electrical project should contact their local building inspection department, office of planning and zoning, and/or department of permits in order to learn which codes are being used and how they will affect their project.
