This informative introduction to the NEC provides electrical engineers, both professionals and students, with invaluable insight to customary building codes. Written by the Executive Director of Standards and Safety of the NECA, H. Brooke Stauffer offers a comprehensive description of the NEC and commonly encountered building codes when designing a building's electrical subsystems. The Engineer's Guide to the National Electrical Code steers beginning electrical engineers through the complex regulations of the NEC in a clear and accessible way.

The definitive guide to the National Electric Code—thoroughly revised for 2020 rules and regulations Updated to fully align with the 2020 NEC, this trusted on-the-job reference contains plain-language explanations, advice, and analysis for every provision. You will get discussions of the rationale behind specific rules that enhances your understanding of both meaning and application. This handbook features thousands of detailed diagrams and photos as well as in-depth discussions regarding controversial wording and actual errors, together with possible approaches to discussions with inspectors regarding how to cope with these issues. This book is not published by NFPA, and is therefore free to confront such topics head on. Written by a senior member of the NEC Code Committee, McGraw Hill’s National Electrical Code (NEC) 2020 Handbook, 30th Edition is logically arranged and serves as a companion to the Code itself―the explanation for any topic lines up exactly with the applicable section in the Code. The book does not reproduce the Code, and therefore every column inch is devoted to explaining its provisions. You will get straightforward clarification of obtuse rules and vague language, enabling you to work efficiently and safely—and to achieve full compliance. Covers all significant changes to the 2020 NEC, including: Reconditioned equipment Massive expansion of GFCI requirements New receptacle coverage rules for kitchen islands and peninsulas Total revision of non-dwelling lighting load calculations Elimination of common enclosures for service disconnects Exterior emergency disconnects Rules for stair towers New EGC fill calculations for boxes Temperature limits for LFMC and LFNC Latest developments for PV systems

Safety in any workplace is extremely important. In the case of the electrical industry, safety is critical and the codes and regulations which determine safe practices are both diverse and complicated. Employers, electricians, electrical system designers, inspectors, engineers and architects must comply with safety standards listed in the National Electrical Code, OSHA and NFPA 70E. Unfortunately, the publications which list these safety requirements are written in very technically advanced terms and the average person has an extremely difficult time understanding exactly what they need to do to ensure safe installations and working environments. Electrical Safety Code Manual will tie together the various regulations and practices for electrical safety and translate these complicated standards into easy to understand terms. This will result in a publication that is a practical, if not essential, asset to not only designers and company owners but to the electricians who must put compliance requirements into action in the field. - Best-practice methods for accident prevention and electrical hazard avoidance - Current safety regulations, including new standards from OSHA, NEC, NESC, and NFPA - Information on low-, medium-, and high-voltage safety systems - Step-by-step guidelines on safety audits - Training program how-to's, from setup to rescue and first aid procedures
