Overview

Gain a firm understanding of the National Electrical Code® and how it applies to grounding and bonding techniques with the 2008 Edition of Stallcup's® Electrical Grounding and Bonding Simplified. Based on the 2008 NEC®, this hands-on guide illustrates Code provisions concerning circuit and system grounding; grounding electrode systems and electrode conductors; enclosure, raceway, and service cabling grounding; bonding; equipment grounding and equipment grounding conductors; and much more. Intuitively arranged so general requirements are introduced before more specific and complex topics, this text places grounding and bonding into proper perspective, helping users gain a foundational knowledge of the topic. With numerous illustrations and figures to clarify proper installation and application procedures Stallcup's® is an essential resource for electricians.
