COVERAGE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE:

Detailed Analysis of Revised Code Approaches to Medium Voltage Installations

Many code articles have been reorganized, renumbered, or completely divided in order to clarify coverages of medium voltage topics, and this book fully tracks all of them.

More Logical Coverage of Definitions That Only Apply Within a Single Article

All definitions have been relocated to Article 100, regardless of limits to applicability. This book locates coverages of such definitions to within the discussion of the applicable article. This arrangement saves the user time because Article 100 now occupies over 36 pages, and the key words chosen by NFPA to place these definitions are not always intuitively sensible.

The Best Ampacity Analysis in the Industry

The most important single word in the NEC is one that does not exist in dictionaries of the English language. The term "ampacity" was invented in the 1965 NEC, and its proper application is absolutely essential to safe and adequate electrical design. By providing over 20 pages of detailed analysis, this book provides the best coverage of these topics in the industry.
