THE NO. 1 ON-THE-JOB ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING REFERENCE
This quick-look-up working tool, packed with tables, charts, and checklists, takes the guesswork out of almost any electrical design task or calculation. Indispensable for electrical engineers, designers, and technicians, the Handbook provides immediate fingertip access to the fundamental information busy professionals need for everyday use in the field.
This new Second Edition has been totally revised to reflect the 2002 National Electrical Code(R) and also includes new sections on telecommunications-structured cabling systems, dissipation array system technology for lightning protection, and blown optical fiber technology. With its well-illustrated, systematic framework and ready-to-use tools, no other reference delivers this much time-saving data in such a convenient, highly usable format.
COMPACT, COMPLETE, AND FULLY UPDATED TO REFLECT THE 2002 NEC, the Handbook contains information on:
* NEC Articles, Tables, and Data
* Service and Distribution
* Grounding and Ground Fault Protection
* Emergency and Standby Power Systems
* Lighting
* Special Systems
* Miscellaneous Special Applications
