{ "item_title" : "The Complete National Electrical Code Handbook", "item_author" : [" Maren Ostlund "], "item_description" : "A conductor one size too small, a breaker chosen for the wrong duty, or a grounding connection left incomplete can pass quietly on installation day and become a hazard years later. Safe electrical work depends on understanding the rules, not merely locating them. The electrical rulebook that guards against those failures is written as terse, prescriptive law. It states requirements but rarely explains them. Apprentices meet a wall of cross-references, and even seasoned electricians can lose an afternoon reconstructing the reasoning behind a single ampacity correction or load calculation. Knowing where a rule lives is not the same as understanding why it exists or how to apply it correctly on the job.This handbook was written to close that gap. It turns the requirements of the current United States electrical code into plain explanations, fully worked calculations, and clear diagrams, so you can move from a rule on the page to a finished, code-compliant installation with confidence. It explains the code in original language and worked examples of the author's own; it is an independent educational guide, not a copy of or a substitute for the official code, and it asks you to keep the edition adopted in your jurisdiction at hand. What you will gain: Understand the reasoning behind the rules, so field decisions make sense instead of being memorisedWork through step-by-step examples, with every unit carried through to a clearly boxed answerTest yourself with practice problems that include full worked solutionsSize conductors, feeders, services, and overcurrent devices using repeatable, transferable methodsLay out grounding and bonding correctly by understanding the job each connection performsNavigate the code's structure quickly and tell mandatory rules from permissive onesApply the fundamentals to modern work, from solar and battery storage to electric-vehicle chargingKey topics include: electrical theory and terminology; general requirements and working clearances; branch circuits, feeders, and dwelling load calculations; services and service equipment; overcurrent protection; grounding and bonding; conductor ampacity and sizing; wiring methods, boxes, and fill calculations; raceways and cable types; devices, panelboards, and GFCI and AFCI protection; motors, HVAC, and transformers; hazardous locations and special occupancies; solar, energy-storage, and electric-vehicle systems; communications and low-voltage systems; and inspection, plan review, and professional practice. Who it is for: apprentices who want a patient first teacher, and electricians, contractors, inspectors, and engineers who want a dependable companion to keep within reach. Students preparing for journeyman or master licensing examinations will find the worked calculations and the closing chapter on examination and professional practice especially useful. Open the book and begin building the understanding, the arithmetic, and the engineering judgment that turn a rule on the page into safe, confident work in the field.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/814/023/9798140235857_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "95.99", "online_price" : "95.99", "our_price" : "95.99", "club_price" : "95.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
