Quick Navigation

Overview

Featuring the latest industry standards and procedures, longtime market leader ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL, Nineteenth Edition, provides comprehensive, authoritative coverage of the 2017 National Electrical Code® (NEC®), as well as a thorough grounding in Electrical Knowledge and Applications. Drawing on decades of industry and classroom experience, the authors guide students step-by-step through the critical tasks and responsibilities required of today's professional electricians in both new construction and existing homes. Extremely reader friendly, the text offers detailed explanations without being overly technical, and content clearly relates the NEC to real-world installation processes. Vivid Illustrations coordinate with the latest NEC regulations to provide further clarity, and foldout plans at the back of the text give students hands-on practice applying code requirements.
