Description

This latest edition of Interpreting the National Electrical Code has been updated to the 2008 National Electrical Code. Extraordinarily comprehensive, it continues to offer valuable insight into 2008 National Electrical Code articles. It provides detailed explanations for each article, along with thorough discussions and practical examples that clearly illustrate how the National Electrical Code and its most recent changes are applied.

Discussions are logically organized into coherent subject groupings, allowing you to navigate easily through 2008 National Electrical Code requirements, as well as changes since the last edition. Through this approach, the book also integrates essential information into the 8th Edition that is not directly addressed in the 2008 National Electrical Code but is extremely useful to electricians.

Features:

A section outlining changes from the last edition of the National Electrical Code speeds understanding of the new requirements, eliminating the need for a separate reference on Code changes.
Sample Code calculations have been taken from actual field applications, increasing their relevance to professional apprentices, electricians, and inspectors alike.
