Summary
The final authority on electrical installations...now improved for easier use!
If your work involves electrical design, installation, identification, or inspection, make sure you're up to code with the 1999 NEC. Widely regarded as the "bible" of the electrical industry, the National Electrical Code is your best source for reliable safety requirements for all types of electrical installations.
Updated and revised, with more user-friendly text!
NFPA's NEC Task Group on Usability reorganized articles and reviewed the Code from cover to cover. The 1999 edition features a larger 8 1/2" x 11" size with more legible type and expanded tables...plus a Code edition that makes guidelines easier to understand, teach, and apply.
You'll find major revisions to key NEC articles...
Article 240, Overcurrent Protection. New information makes compliance easier for complex industrial installations.
Article 250, Grounding and Bonding. Rewritten and reorganized, it now features a cross reference to 1996 NEC section numbers.
Article 310, Conductors for General Wiring. Notes to tables have been incorporated into the body of the Code.
Article 505, Hazardous (Classified) Locations, has been expanded for greater use in the U.S. and abroad.
Article 640, Sound Systems, updates you on the expanded technology used in today's state-of-the-art buildings and concert halls.
In addition, you'll access general guidelines for high voltage installations through the all-new Article 490. The new Article 830 brings you the latest on advanced telecommunications installations. And all examples can now be found in new Appendix D. (Approx. 600 pp., 1999) |
