Continuously in print since 1952, Modern Wiring Practice has now been fully revised to provide an up-to-date source of reference to building services design and installation in the 21st century. This compact and practical guide addresses wiring systems design and electrical installation together in one volume, creating a comprehensive overview of the whole process for contractors and architects, as well as electricians and other installation engineers. Best practice is incorporated throughout, combining theory and practice with clear and accessible explanation, all within the framework of the Wiring Regulations. Introducing the fundamentals of design and installation with a minimum of mathematics, this book is also relevant reading for all students of electrical installation courses, such as the 2330 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology, and NVQs from City & Guilds (including 2356, 2391 and 2382 awards), as well as trainees in industry undertaking Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships. This new edition incorporates the latest thinking on sustainability and the environment and is fully up-to-date with the 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations. Illustrations have been completely updated to show current best practice and are now in full colour. Reviews of a previous edition: ‘This book has long been a favourite of mine. Its regular updating by the issue of new editions ensures it is always completely up to date with the requirements of electrical installation. It is a book that I would thoroughly recommend to any person with an involvement in our industry for it is without doubt one of the very best available, written in a clear and readily understandable manner.’ Electrical Contractor ‘Refreshingly practical. This book will prove useful to anyone involved in the design and installation of electrical systems: from the apprentice to the architect.’ Electrical Review

Exam Success: IEE Wiring Regulations 2382-20 is a publication created by City & Guilds, in collaboration with the Institution of Engineering and Technology. It is an exam practice guide, intended to help candidates of the City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate in the Requirements for Electrical Installations (16th to 17th Edition Update BS 7671:2008) to prepare for the exam. This exam is for those candidates who already hold their 2381 Certificate and who need to become conversant with the changes and new material in the 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations.This book sets out methods of studying, offers advice on exam preparation and provides details of the scope and structure of the examination, alongside two sample exam papers with answers and references to the relevant section of theIEE Wiring Regulations. Used as a study guide for exam preparation and practice, it will help you to reinforce and test your existing knowledge, and will give you guidelines and advice about sitting the exam.

This popular guide focuses on common misconceptions in the application of the Wiring Regulations. It explains in clear language those parts of the Regs that most need simplifying, outlining the correct procedures to follow and those to avoid. Emphasis has been placed on areas where confusion and misinterpretation is common, such as earthing and bonding, circuit design and protection, and in particular the increased use of RCDs. It is an affordable reference for all electrical contractors and other workers involved in electrical installations. It will enable safe and efficient compliance and help answer queries quickly to ensure work complies with the latest version of the Wiring Regulations. With the coverage carefully matched to the syllabus of the City & Guilds Certificate in the Requirements for Electrical Installations (2382-10 and 2382-20) and containing sample exam questions and answers, it is also an ideal revision guide.

For more than 30 years, students and practising electricians have relied on John Whitfield to guide them through the complexities of the Wiring Regulations. Unlike other publications, it does not assume that readers are fully conversant with electrical theory. It assumes just a basic knowledge and introduces technical matter with brief easy-to-understand explanations. His Guide is a recognised brand, has consistently been a bestseller and regarded as THE guide to the Wiring Regulations. This 4th Edition covers Amendment 3:2015, regarded as ‘potentially life-saving’, which comes into effect July 2015. As in earlier editions, all useful relevant details derived from other IET publications such as Guidance Notes, Wiring Matters, which might otherwise be overlooked by electricians, are included. Importantly the Guide also benefits from the most up-to-date, hands-on expertise provided by the co-author, Andrew Hay-Ellis, whose credentials are second-to-none. He is an established author of vocational electrical books and, amongst other functions, is a Chief Examiner at City & Guilds.

This book covers both theory and practice for the trainee who wants to understand not only how, but why electrical installations are designed, installed and tested in particular ways. It complies with the latest IEE Wiring Regulations.
