NFPA
Delmar Cengage Learning, 2007
N.E.C. code 2008
This is a must have for anyone in the electrical field. My continuing complaint with the N.E.C. is that is seems like it is written by lawyers, instead of electricians. You need to take a course to understand how to retreive the information you are looking for. ...
