Is this installation covered by the National Electrical Code?

Are the proper wiring methods being used?

How many services are there, and where is the service equipment located?

As an electrical inspector, you are required to answer these and other more-complex questions to ensure jobs conform to the National Electrical Code and do not present any hazards due to substandard workmanship. Electrical Inspection Manual, 2008 Edition, provides all the tips, information, and guidance you'll need to accomplish this.

Based on the 2008 National Electrical Code, Electrical Inspection Manual presents detailed checklists covering every aspect of the electrical inspection process to aid in the organization and performance of electrical inspections. Packed with precise, step-by-step checklists, detailed illustrations, and informative chapter explanations, the text identifies important Code rules and provides guidance on how to organize checklists by occupancy type to increase thoroughness and decrease the likelihood of overlooking potential problems.

Written by certified electrical inspectors, and endorsed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), Electrical Inspection Manual is the tool you need to accurately perform all of your electrical inspections.

NFPA's Electrical Inspection Manual is ideal for electrical designers, installers, inspectors, project managers, and AHJs. This edition also includes added information that addresses potentially life-saving safety issues for electrical inspectors.

From the Preface
First published in 1999, the Electrical Inspection Manual has become an established member of the growing family of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guides, handbooks, pocket guides, and other publications and products designed to enhance users' understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and provide practical guidance in applying the provisions of the National Electrical Code.

As the developer and publisher of the National Electrical Code since 1911, the NFPA is committed to safeguarding persons and property from potential hazards arising from unsafe electrical installations. It is the role of the electrical inspector to ensure that safe installations in compliance with Code requirements are in place. The Electrical Inspection Manual is designed to help inspectors perform this vital safety function. The manual is also intended to serve as an inspection planner and organizational tool for contractors, project managers, or anyone else who conducts, receives, or is responsible for inspections or who may wish to perform self-inspections of electrical installations. Because the manual is organized by stage and type of installation, it may also be used as a practical guide for installers and designers in applying the National Electrical Code to common electrical installations.

Building on the positive response to past editions, the 2008 edition of the Electrical Inspection Manual has been revised throughout to reflect changes in the 2008 National Electrical Code. A greatly improved illustration program with many new figures and drawings taken from the 2008 National Electrical Code Handbook complements the comprehensive text contained in this manual. It is the authors' hope that the 2008 edition of the Electrical Inspection Manual will continue to fill the need for a comprehensive source of information on the electrical inspection process.
