From the Introduction
The 2008 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) contains many comprehensive revisions pertaining to specific National Electrical Code rules and regulations. Electrical personnel have an immediate and awesome task in not only learning but implementing these revisions in their everyday design, installation and inspection of electrical systems.
The material in this book, if read and studied carefully in a continuous and enthusiastic manner, will provide a proper update on the revisions in the 2008 National Electrical Code. However, even though it is true that only time and discussion among electrical personnel will provide the answers on how to interpret and apply some of these rules, one can use this book to get a head start.
Illustrated Code Changes explains the major changes in the 2008 National Electrical Code and can be used as a guide for fast and easy reference. These changes are presented in numerical order to correlate with the "Articles" and "Sections" as they appear in the 2008 National Electrical Code and are also illustrated to give a more detailed description. Where appropriate, reasons for revisions and new Articles are given and what kind of impact such changes will have on manufacturers, designers, installers, and inspectors.
For every proposal made, there was a reason and hopefully, this book will provide some of the reasons why a change resulted.
