From the Preface
This is a reference book of commentary, discussion, and analysis on the most commonly encountered rules of the 1999 National Electrical Code. Designed to be used in conjunction with the 1999 National Electrical Code book published by the National Fire Protection Association, this Handbook presents thousands of illustrations - diagrams and photos - to supplement the detailed text in explaining and clarifying 1999 National Electrical Code regulations. Description of the background and rationale of specific 1999 National Electrical Code rules is aimed at affording a broader, deeper, and readily developed understanding of the meaning and application of those rules. The style of presentation is conversational and intended to facilitate a quick, practical grasp of the ideas and concepts that are couched in the necessarily terse, stiff, quasi-legal language of the 1999 National Electrical Code document itself.

This Handbook follows the order of articles as presented in the 1999 National Electrical Code book, starting with Article 90 and proceeding through Article 810 and Chapter 9 - Tables and Examples. The Code rules are referenced by section numbers (e.g., 250-138. Equipment Connected by Cord and Plug). This format assures quick and easy correlation between 1999 National Electrical Code sections and the discussions and explanations of the rules involved. This companion reference to the 1999 National Electrical Code book expands on the rules and presents common interpretations that have been put on the many difficult and controversial Code requirements. A user of this Handbook should refer to the 1999 National Electrical Code book for the precise wording of a rule and then refer to the corresponding section number in this Handbook for a practical evaluation of the details.

Because many 1999 National Electrical Code rules do not present difficulty in understanding or interpretation, not all sections are referenced. But the vast majority of sections are covered, especially all sections that have proved troublesome or controversial. And particular emphasis is given to changes and additions that have been made in Code rules over recent editions of the National Electrical Code. Although this new edition of McGraw-Hill's National Electrical Code Handbook does not contain the complete wording of the 1999 National Electrical Code book, it does contain much greater analysis and interpretation than any other Handbook contains, and it is more thoroughly illustrated than any other Code Handbook.

Today, the universal importance of the National Electrical Code has been established by the federal government (OSHA and other safety-related departments), by state and local inspection agencies, and by all kinds of private companies and organizations. To meet the great need for information on the National Electrical Code, McGraw-Hill has been publishing a handbook on the National Electrical Code since 1932. Originally developed by Arthur L. Abbott in that year, the Handbook has been carried on in successive editions for each revision of the National Electrical Code.

One final point - words such as "workmanlike" are taken directly from the Code and are intended in a purely generic sense. Their use is in no way meant to deny the role women already play in the electrical industries or their importance to the field.
