DeWalt Electrical Code Reference

DeWalt Electrical Code Reference is based on the 2005 and 2008 National Electrical Codes (NEC) and illustrates hundreds of the most common electrical code requirements, violations and installation concerns. Large, color illustrations and photos show exactly what the Code requires so there’s never any doubt in your mind. You’ll quickly find the information you need, illustrated on thick glossy industrial-strength pages made to survive, even in the harsh environment of your tool kit.

With this reference you’ll get the job done right the first time, even if you have questions on branch circuits, receptacle placement, 3-way and 4-way switch wiring, panelboard wiring, GFCI and AFCI requirements, conductor ampacity tables, room-by-room layouts, calculating and wiring services, workspace requirements, and materials. You’ll find Code information on permissible receptacle types for branch circuits, types of terminals, common wiring methods, overcurrent protection, typical calculations for boxes, smoke detector wiring; wiring layout for bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms, laundry rooms, garages, and bathrooms; outside lighting, HVAC requirements, conductor sizing, subpanels, underground raceways, service grounding, rebar in footings, metallic water piping, and ground rods. Also includes load calculations and formulas, common symbols and abbreviations.
