Presenting practical methods for using the National Electrical Code (NEC) in all phases of electrical installation, modification, and maintenance, this guide offers a detailed analysis of the NEC through worked examples, illustrations, and explanations. Comprehensive coverage includes code regulations that require computation; code regulations from the safety standpoint; overcurrent protection; an effective equipment grounding and grounding electrode system; branch circuit installation methods; code regulation of appliance and other utilization equipment installation; disconnect location and rating computations; motor computations involving feeder and branch circuit conductor ampacity and short-circuit ground-fault protection ratings; individual motor overload protection; code-challenge problems; and more. For electrical engineers, electrical contractors, electrical inspectors, fire marshals and insurance inspectors, practicing electricians, and other tradespeople.
