Overview
Practical, user-friendly and updated to reflect the 2023 National Electrical Code®, Simmons/Ode's ELECTRICAL GROUNDING AND BONDING, 7th edition, delivers complete coverage of grounding and bonding requirements in Article 250 and Chapter 5 of the NEC®. Detailed explanations, real-world examples and full-color illustrations help readers master and apply key electrical concepts, such as calculating conductor sizes, reading and interpreting NEC tables, using grounded conductor connections in DC and AC systems, managing installations and sizing, and applying "green" practices for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Providing exhaustive explanations of concepts and requirements in the NEC, the text is ideal for students in degree programs, professional training, apprenticeships through Independent Electrical Contractors and electrical training ALLIANCE (formerly NJATC) courses.
- Thoroughly updated, the 7th edition reflects the 2023 National Electrical Code® and current best practices, giving readers easy access to the latest, most accurate information related to relevant industry codes and standards.
- Comprehensive, up-to-the-minute coverage includes grounding and bonding requirements in both Article 250 and Chapter 5 of the 2023 NEC®.
- Providing additional coverage of safety issues involving health care facilities, floating buildings, marinas and boatyards, the text equips students with the comprehensive skills needed for real-world practice.
- A wealth of resources included in the appendices enables readers to expand their understanding behind many of the NEC requirements related to grounding and bonding.
