Overview
Featuring the latest industry standards and procedures, longtime market leader Mullin/Simmons/ Vigstol's ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL, 21st Edition, provides comprehensive, authoritative coverage of the 2023 NFPA 70®: National Electrical Code® (NEC®) and a thorough grounding in essential electrical theory and applications. Drawing on decades of industry and classroom experience, the authors guide students step-by-step through the critical tasks and responsibilities required of today's professional electricians in both new construction and existing homes. Reader-friendly, ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL offers detailed explanations without being overly technical and clearly relates the NEC® to real-world installation processes. Vivid illustrations coordinate with the latest NEC® regulations to provide further clarity, and foldout plans at the back of the text give students hands-on practice applying code requirements.
- The text covers new and updated wiring requirements, including those for peninsular and island counterspaces in kitchens, which have changed significantly, and wiring for receptacle outlets in an attached or detached garage with electric power, which may now supply outside outlets in a limited way (per NEC 210.52(G)(1)).
- The text teaches students both recognized methods of calculating electrical load on feeders and services and the new or revised 2023 NEC® rules relevant to service installation and surge protection.
- With the first seven chapters focusing on essential concepts such as general requirements, safety, specifications, electrical symbols and outlets, this textbook offers a unique, comprehensive approach to electrical education,
- Later chapters cover progressively advanced topics, delivering wide-ranging coverage of branch circuit, lighting and receptacle outlet requirements; correct conductor size determination, wiring methods and voltage drop; and conductor identification, lighting equipment switch control, wiring device grounding and induction heating avoidance.
- With a highly practical focus on preparing students for career success, the text covers how to read blueprints and lay out wiring for a dwelling and includes foldout plans to provide hands-on practice applying code requirements.
- With a strong emphasis on workplace safety throughout, the text includes thorough coverage of GFCIs, AFCIs, surge protection devices, immersion detection, leakage detection and key information and standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOS
- After introducing students to luminaires, ballasts and lamps, the text provides detailed information on how to approach wiring for each room in a dwelling.
- A Code Cross-Index makes it easy for students to reference specific content and code requirements, drawing useful connections among fundamental concepts, practical applications and current industry standards and requirements.
- Reflecting current trends and technology in today’s industry, the authors devote an entire chapter to solar photovoltaic systems.
- Metric and English measurements are featured to appeal to students of all backgrounds and prepare them for professional practice in diverse settings.
