Illustrated Guide to Residential Wiring

The ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO RESIDENTIAL WIRING 1E offers readers an exciting new approach to understanding and applying the 2011 National Electrical Code. This book uses illustrations and layouts to represent wiring and code information. Its unsurpassed attention to detail is evident on every page, with detailed information gathered and presented in a room-by-room format. Code specifications, applicable to rooms or areas, are logically organized in easy-to-read chapters graphically enhanced by numerous technical illustrations. Each technically accurate, highly detailed illustration offers insight into Code requirements. Pertinent details are clearly written and can be read very quickly and with little effort. Information relevant to more than one area is organized into independent chapters for easier reference. For example, items such as boxes and enclosures are covered in Chapter 3 but are related to every area throughout the dwelling. If readers want to obtain a comprehensive grasp of residential electrical codes, they can study this book chapter by chapter. However, if they are already practicing electricians who have specialized in one type of occupancy but want to understand an unfamiliar segment, they can focus on only those new areas.
