Code Book
Need to order a Code book? The spiral edition makes the code book much easier
to use. The spiral coil allows you to conveniently study by placing the book folded
on your desk. It lays flat and you can even put it on a hook in your truck. The most
widely adopted element of a building code in the United States and the world, the
NEC is the benchmark for safe and efficient electrical installations. Whether your
jurisdiction adopts the 2008 Code immediately or down the road, you need to extend
your knowledge and take advantage of the benefits right away, not months or years
behind your peers in the electrical industry. NFPA product. For more information,
visit www.MikeHolt.com.
Tabs
These peel and stick tabs are a great way to customize your 2008 Code book.
Included with the tabs is a 16 x 20 Raceway Poster and an Ohms Wheel Sticker.

The National
Electrical Code
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is written for persons
who understand electrical terms, theory, safety procedures,
and electrical trade practices. These individuals include electricians, electrical contractors, electrical inspectors, electrical
engineers, designers, and other qualified persons. The Code
was not written to serve as an instructive or teaching manual
for untrained individuals [90.1(C)].
Learning to use the NEC is somewhat like learning to play the
game of chess; its a great game if you enjoy mental warfare.
You must first learn the names of the game pieces, how the
pieces are placed on the board, and how each piece moves.
In the electrical world, this is equivalent to completing a comprehensive course on basic electrical theory, such as:
W
hat electricity is and how is it produced
Dangers of electrical potential: fire, arc blast, arc fault,
and electric shock
Direct current
Series and parallel circuits
Electrical formulas
Alternating current
Induction, motors, generators, and transformers
Once you understand the fundamentals of the game of chess,
youre ready to start playing the game. Unfortunately, at this
point all you can do is make crude moves, because you really
do not understand how all the information works together.
To play chess well, you will need to learn how to use your
knowledge by working on subtle strategies before you can
work your way up to the more intriguing and complicated
moves.
Again, back to the electrical world, this is equivalent to completing a course on the basics of electrical theory. You have the
foundation upon which to build, but now you need to take it
to the next level, which you can do by reading this textbook.
Not a Game
Electrical work isnt a game, and it must be taken very seriously. Learning the basics of electricity, important terms and
concepts, as well as the basic layout of the NEC gives you just
enough knowledge to be dangerous. There are thousands of
specific and unique applications of electrical installations, and
ii
the Code doesnt cover every one of them. To safely apply the
NEC, you must understand the purpose of a rule and how it
affects the safety aspects of the installation.
Chapter 1 General
Chapter 2 Wiring and Protection
Chapter 3 Wiring Methods and Materials
Chapter 4 Equipment for General Use
Chapter 5 Special Occupancies
Chapter 6 Special Equipment
Chapter 7 Special Conditions
iii
One way to increase your comfort level with the Code is to customize it to meet your needs. You can do this by highlighting
and underlining important NEC requirements, and by attaching tabs to important pages.
