| Summary |
This edition continues extensive coverage on fine-stranded conductors, with examples of suitable equipment to use with these wires along with how to apply termination rules that can be very challenging. It also includes updated material on net present value calculations, so you can evaluate and sell the benefits of electrical improvements today. It has updated coverage on ampacity calculations that are some of the most challenging for engineers and working electricians alike, and it correlates that coverage with NEC Example D3(a) and Annex B, Table (B)(2)(11) so the user can observe how the coverage directly corresponds to the only NEC example that tackles this subject, as well as comfortably apply the NEC material that allows access to the more generous ampacity adjustment factors that had been in the NEC for about 40 years in the second half of the previous century |
