Gives working and student electricians practical guidance for using the 2005 National Electrical Code effectively - plus the resources they need to prepare for their Masters or Journeyman's licensing exams. This title covers electrical systems design, construction, and installation for various residential, commercial, or industrial environments.
All You Need to Succeed with the 2005 NEC: Practical, Illustrated, and Hands-On

This book gives working and student electricians practical guidance for using the new 2005 National Electrical Code effectively--plus all the resources they need to prepare for their Masters or Journeyman's licensing exams. Leading NEC expert and instructor Thomas Harman systematically covers electrical systems design, construction, and installation for virtually any residential, commercial, or industrial environment. Then, simply and concisely, he reviews the basic electrical theory and practice that every Master Electrician must know.

Designed for rapid learning, this book contains extensive problem-solving exercises, examples, illustrations, and tables--all fully updated for the 2005 code. Whenever an NEC rule affects a calculation, the author identifies that rule for easy reference. For the first time, this edition contains four full sample exams designed to closely resemble current Master Electrician's exams. All answers are provided and carefully explained.

This edition discusses



Wiring design calculations: general calculations, services, feeders, branch circuits, and more
Calculating wiring designs for residential, commercial, and industrial occupancies
Rules for installing branch circuits, feeders, services, high-voltage systems, general circuits/equipment, distribution equipment, and utilization equipment
Special equipment installations, including electric signs, data processing systems, and swimming pools
Special occupancies: hazardous locations, commercial garages, and gasoline dispensing or service stations
Emergency, standby, and communications systems
General electric theory: DC, AC, equipment, loads, conductors, transformers, and motors

Thomas L. Harman, Ph.D., has held Master Electrician's Licenses since 1973 in cities and states throughout the U.S. An electrical engineer, Dr. Harman has extensive practical experience in industrial, commercial, and residential electrical design and installation, including industrial design for hazardous locations. He has been a member of NEC's Panel Number 2 since 1978. Dr. Harman is often called as an expert witness in cases involving electrical accidents or faulty electrical designs.
