Many times there are code regulations that are a little cloudy in their interpretation. And sometimes, even with an illustrated code book, the interpretations are still a little deceptive. But, with the Handbook, it shows via drawings, fine print notes, and more thorough explanation, how the job needs to be done. True, it is not a textbook on How To Be An Electrician, but it can help to explain trouble areas so the job can be done right the first time and pass inspections on the first trip. I would highly recommend this Handbook for the apprentice electrician who is just starting out in the trade to better help him/her understand the Code, and also the journeyman who is maybe doing a job that he/she might need a little further explanation with.
The plain 2008 NEC book is just the rules, no explanation of what they might mean...... The handbook gives the rule, then an explanation of what the rule means.....some rules in the plain NEC are written as "mumbo jumbo" and you will never understand what it means, that's why I preferred to get the handbook....for a clear meaning on what was written. I am involved in a remodeling of an old metal building that will be made into a church.....and the county building inspector will be visiting very often for check-ups on our progress, and if he does not like how we done something on wiring, he can show us in the code handbook, and we both will interpet it together for an understanding of what needs to be done......it's a CYA general good thing to have!!! Having this better code book conveys to the inspector that you are going to do a quality job by following the "rules" ... resulting in less ""surprise"" visits by the inspector.Read full review
