The need to understand and accurately apply the NEC is paramount. How can you make sure you get this right? What makes this book so effective is the clear writing style, the Author’s Comments, the amazing detailed full-color illustrations that help you visualize the concepts being discussed, and the examples that are broken down step-by-step. The chapter questions help you test your knowledge as you go. This book sets the standard in NEC education and is used extensively throughout the country. Volume 1 highlights:\\nArticle 90. Know the purpose and scope of the NEC and understand how it’s arranged so you can quickly find what you need.\\nChapter 1. Become familiar with the general requirements that apply to all installations. You’ll understand NEC terminology, which wiring methods are suitable, and the truth about space requirements.\\nChapter 2. Know the requirements for neutrals, branch circuits, feeders, outside wiring, and services. You’ll obtain competence and confidence in sizing and applying circuit protection. You’ll also understand how grounding and bonding differ, and how to apply the concepts properly in the real world.\\nChapter 3. The requirements for conductors, enclosures, fittings, cable assemblies and raceways are many, and the rules for wiring methods may vary with each type. Do you know how the rules for EMT differ from those for RMC? What about armored cable? Which conductor is right for the job?\\nChapter 4. Cords, switches, receptacles, panelboards, and lighting are just some of the topics in Chapter 4 you must understand to avoid Code violations. Don’t let Article 430—the largest of the NEC Articles—be a “motor mystery” to you. And the rules for generators, transformers, and capacitors are clarified so they'll not continue to confuse you.\\nAnswer keys are included with all Mike Holt books.

Packed with real-world examples, vivid illustrations, and the latest developments from the field, ELECTRICAL STUDIES FOR TRADES, 5th EDITION is ideal for current and future service technicians in air conditioning and refrigeration, construction, and facilities management--and anyone else who needs a practical knowledge of electricity. Extremely reader-friendly, the book begins with an overview of basic electricity concepts--rather than complex mathematical calculations. From here, you proceed directly to "must-know" information, including how to determine wire sizes and make a variety of common switch connections. Different types of electrical power panels are also examined in detail. Discussion of general wiring practices and circuit protectors, as well as an introduction to transformers and three-phase and single-phase motors, round out the comprehensive coverage.
