Reviews National Electrical Code 2008


As a veteran of two ICC code exam certifications I am pretty good navigating the NEC. It is wordy, redundant in places, and sometimes not easy to get a straight answer. Yet it is still the clearest of all electrical code manuals I've seen(and I've seen alot of them) What alot of laymen don't realize is that for the most part local code supercedes the NEC so this book is not always the final word for a homeowner doing some electrical work. However, anybody with a little electrical background should be able to use the NEC to get their project going the right way. I would still recommend calling in an inspector anywhere you are unsure. Most of the electrical I do now is basement and garage remodels so I don't need to use the code book much anymore, but I prefer a spiral bound book because they are much easier to lay flat(obviously)
