More Info
Mike's dynamic style and detailed graphics easily explain the most difficult subjects. This combination package includes:
Mike Holt's NEC Course Volume 1, based on the 2008 NEC, Articles 90 through 460.
Mike Holt's NEC Course Volume 2, based on the 2008 NEC, Articles 500 through Annex C.
Compliance with the National Electrical Code is a major concern for today’s engineers, designers and electricians. On the one hand, you need to keep job costs down. On the other hand, your electrical projects must meet code. And if you are an electrical inspector, you’ve got to ensure compliance with the code in a way that is fair, accurate, equitable, and consistent.
The need to understand and accurately apply the NEC is great. But, the NEC is huge—the loose-leaf binder version, for example, is nearly 800 pages. Complicating this further, the NEC can be downright confusing.
Fortunately, there’s an answer. And it’s from internationally recognized NEC expert Mike Holt. That answer is this combo package.
Highlights
Mike Holt's NEC Course Volume 1, based on the 2008 NEC, Articles 90 through 460.
Pages: 505.
Graphics: 1010.
Practice Questions: 393.
This course covers:
Article 90. Know the purpose and scope of the NEC, and understand how it’s arranged so you can quickly find what you need.
Chapter 1. Become familiar with the general requirements that apply to all installations. You’ll understand NEC terminology, which wiring methods are suitable, and the truth about space requirements (different from what most people think).
Chapter 2. Know the requirements for neutrals, branch circuits, feeders, outside wiring, and services. You’ll gain competence and confidence in sizing and applying circuit protection. You’ll also understand how grounding and bonding differ, and how to apply the concepts properly in the real world.
Chapter 3. Don’t run afoul of the requirements for conductors, enclosures, fittings, cable assemblies and raceways. Do you know how the rules for EMT differ from those for RMC? What about armored cable? Which conductor is right for the job?
Chapter 4. Cords, switches, receptacles, panelboards, and lighting are just some of the Chapter 4 topics you must understand to avoid code violations. Don’t let Article 430—the largest of the NEC Articles—be a “motor mystery” to you. And don’t let the rules for generators, transformers, or capacitors continue to confuse you.
Mike Holt's NEC Course Volume 2, based on the 2008 NEC, Articles 500 through Annex C.
Pages: 284.
Graphics: 525.
Practice Questions: 242.
This course covers:
Chapter 5. Special Occupancies. This includes hazardous locations (Class I, Class II, Class III, Zone 1, and Zone 2), Fuel facilities, Storage facilities, Health care facilities, and Assembly occupancies.
Chapter 6. Special Equipment. This includes Electric signs, cranes, elevators, electric vehicles, heating equipment, and industrial machinery.
Chapter 7. Special Conditions. This includes Emergency systems, Legally required standby systems, Optional standby systems, and Critical operations power systems.
