Preface to National Electrical Code 2008 Handbook

The 26th version of McGraw-Hill’s National Electrical Code® Handbook has been completely revised to mirror the adjustments given within the 2008 National Electrical Code. This can be a reference e-book of commentary, dialogue, and evaluation of probably the most generally encountered guidelines of the 2008 National Electrical Code.

Designed for use along with the 2008 NE Code e-book printed by the National Fireplace Safety Affiliation, this Handbook presents 1000’s of illustrations—diagrams and pictures—to complement the detailed textual content in explaining and clarifying NEC laws.

Description of the background and rationale for particular Code guidelines is geared toward affording a broader, deeper, and readily developed an understanding of the that means and utility of these guidelines.

The type of presentation is conversational and supposed to facilitate a fast, sensible grasp of the concepts and ideas which can be couched within the essentially terse, stiff, quasi-legal language of the NEC doc itself.

This Handbook follows the order of “articles” as offered within the NE Codebook, beginning with “Article 90” and continuing by “Appendix.”

The Code guidelines are referenced by “part” numbers (e.g., “250.138. Wire- and PlugConnected Tools.”).

This format ensures a fast and simple correlation between NEC sections and the discussions and explanations of the foundations concerned.

This companion reference to the NEC e-book expands on the foundations and presents frequent interpretations which were placed on the numerous troublesome and controversial Code necessities.

A consumer of this Handbook ought to check with the NEC e-book for the exact wording of a rule after which check with the corresponding part quantity on this Handbook for sensible analysis of the main points.

As a result of many NEC guidelines don’t the current problem in understanding or interpretation, not all sections are referenced. However the overwhelming majority of sections are lined, particularly all sections which have proved troublesome or controversial.

And specific emphasis is given to adjustments and additions which were made in Code guidelines over latest editions of the NEC.

Though this new version, McGraw-Hill’s National Electrical Code® 2008 Handbook, doesn’t include the whole wording of the NE Codebook, it does include a lot larger evaluation and interpretation than some other so-called Handbook comprises.

Right this moment, the common significance of the NE Code has been established by the federal authorities (OSHA and different safety-related departments), by state and native inspection businesses, and by every kind of personal corporations and organizations.

As well as, nationwide, state, and native licensing or certification as {an electrical} contractor, grasp electrician, or electrical inspector would require a agency and assured data of the NEC.

With necessities for certification or licensing now mandated in almost each jurisdiction throughout the nation, the necessity for Code competence is indispensable.

To fulfill the good want for data on the NEC, McGraw-Hill has been publishing a handbook on the National Electrical Code since 1932.

Initially developed by Arthur L. Abbott in that 12 months, the Handbook has been carried on in successive editions for every revision of the National Electrical Code.

One last level—phrases resembling “workmanlike” are taken instantly from the Code and are supposed in a purely generic sense.

Their use is on no account meant to disclaim the position girls already play within the electrical industries or their significance to the sector.
