Endorsed by the International Conference of Building Officials, this revised edition of
Code Check Electrical has been completely updated to meet the demands of the 2008 National Electrical Code. Spiral bound with long-lasting laminated pages, this reliable resource clearly details how to avoid the most common electrical violations while stressing the safety principles behind building codes throughout the United States. The fifth edition covers every type of residential electrical system, offering accurate and authoritative information about overhead service drops, working space, multi-meter services, temporary wiring, grounding, bonding, and so much more. Hundreds of illustrations, tables, and figures make this the on-the-job choice for electricians, contractors, and inspectors.
In the mind-boggling confusion of electrical codes, Redwood Kardon, a building inspector for the city of Oakland, California, has pulled together a comprehensive manual, more a
tool than a book per se.
Code Check Electrical offers the straight dope on electrical codes in easy-to-understand language, with a clearly organized flip-chart format that has a durable finish for use in the field.
For builders, building inspectors, or homeowners who want to do some electrical work safely and up to current codes, this is an invaluable tool for understanding what the electrical codes are, why they are important, and how to make sure electrical work is done as safely as current science and common sense allow. There is an amazing amount of useful and easily understandable information in this diminutive manual. --Mark A. Hetts
