Preface to Electrical Wiring PDF Book
STOP ... Don’t read any further ... yet. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with how to use this text to get the most benefit from it.
Think of it as a three-legged stool. One leg is this text, the second leg is the 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code®, and the third leg is the set of Plans that are in the packet in the inside back cover.
If anyone of the legs is missing, the stool will collapse. Stated another way, you will not get as much out of this course.
When you have completed all of the chapters in Electrical Wiring—Residential, you will have virtually wired a typical house according to the requirements of the 2014 National Electrical Code, an accomplishment you can be proud of!
The NEC® defines a “qualified person” as One who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
Electrical Wiring—Residential is intended for use in residential wiring courses at high schools, two-year and four-year colleges, and 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 chapter to an actual residential building in order to understand and meet the requirements set forth by the NEC.
