ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL
IT IS A GOOD BOOK FOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN BASED ON 2008 NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE

Only book you'll need
I had a carpenter frame a second story addition to my house, I had decided to do all electrical work myself...and have it inspected. The space had 2 bedrooms, bathroom and a hallway. I had a bunch of books including this one. I must say that each time I was looking for an answer, I found it in this book, from calculation of box volume required for a given amount of wires, to submitting my plan drawings to the town for permit. If you're doing some serious work or simple work and you don't want to be shuffling between 5 books, just get this one. I should add that I passed the inspections (rough and finished work) on the first time.

only if you want to pass the exam
unless you are trying to pass the NEC exam, this book will be way over your head.

It not only has tons of equations (which are useless to the average homewoner), but it has practice exams at the end of each chapter.

don't buy it if you just want to remodel your home. It's great for the exam.....i suppose.

i think the title should be clear that this book is not for the average homewoner.
