Author Description

Electrical Wiring: Residential is intended for use in residential wiring courses at high schools, 2-year and 4-year colleges, as well as apprenticeship training programs. This comprehensive book guides readers, room by room, through the wiring of a typical residence and builds a foundation of knowledge by starting with the basic requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC), then continuing on to the more advanced wiring methods. Each Code rule is presented through text, illustrations, examples, and wiring diagrams. In addition, an accompanying set of plans at the back of the book guides the reader through the wiring process by applying concepts learned in each unit to an actual residential building in order to understand and meet the requirements set forth by the NEC. - Preface.
