| Summary |
"A complete guide to the earthing and bonding requirements of the latest United Kingdom wiring regulations. This on-the-job reference offers complete coverage of all technical aspects of electrical earthing and bonding. The book provides you with the commentary and guidance you need to interpret and apply the earthing and bonding requirements of the 17th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008 incorporating Amendment No. 3:2015)--the electrical code used throughout the United Kingdom. McGraw-Hill's Guide to UK Wiring Standards for Earthing & Bonding features in-depth discussions of each of the code's standards, section by section, along with high-quality illustrations and detailed examples." |
