Practical Electrical Wiring, 19th Edition, 2005
Practical Electrical Wiring, the on-the-job companion for Residential, Farm, Commercial and Industrial!
From basic concepts to techniques for the major types of wiring, with thorough emphasis on safety, readers rapidly build the skills needed to solve wiring problems faced every day on the job. Clear explanations, expert tips and handy tricks, and a personal, down-to-earth style also make this a favorite on-the-job resource for professionals.
Building on H.P. Richter's classic, NEC expert and licensed master electrician Frederic P. Hartwell brings the book up to date with today's practices and technology. The material on selecting wires to match anticipated loads of quantity and duration (Chapter 26) presents more extensive coverage of this critical and widely misunderstood topic than any comparable book. It was also used in the new example D3(a), "Industrial Feeders in a Common Raceway," in Annex D of the 2005 NEC.
New in this 19th Edition is a complete update of the two chapters on lighting (residential and nonresidential) to latest NEC requirements and lighting industry developments. This value priced, all-in-one resource covers residential, farm, commercial, and light applications. 678 pp.
