Summary:

The most comprehensive source of unbiased material covering the latest NEC standard requirements on electrical wiring and equipment installation issues, including provisions for the use of connections, voltage markings, conductors, and cables.

Completely revised and expanded to reflect changes in the 2014 NEC?, McGraw-Hill's National Electrical Code? 2014 Handbook, 28th Edition, presents the trusted advice and analysis you need to accurately interpret 2014 NEC? rules. In-depth coverage of the background and rationale for specific Code rules enhances your understanding of the meaning and application of those rules. This practical resource also points out important matters of discussion with inspectors. Designed as a must-have companion to the 2014 NEC? book published by the National Fire Protection Association, this comprehensive volume features more than 1,000 detailed diagrams and photographs The authoritative information and insight contained in this on-the-job reference will help your work pass inspection the first time. This book doesn't duplicate the text of the NEC?. Instead, it is entirely comprised of explanatory text, specifically addressing every single code article, providing the most analytical content available. Because this book is published completely independently from NFPA, it is free to?and frequently does?offer detailed analysis of technically questionable and editorially convoluted provisions in the NEC?, along with strategies for discussing those issues in advance with owners and inspectors before financial commitments are made.
