Practical Electrical Wiring

The advanced level of discussion reflects greater
technical complexities, yet the style remains highly accessible to a wide range
of readers. Drawings and photos continue to be revised and updated, making
instructions easy to understand and follow. Hartwell has been responsible
for over one thousand successful proposals and public comments regarding
changes in the National Electrical Code over the past ten Code-Making cycles
and continues as a principal member of the National Electrical Code Committee.
He brings years of experience and practical hints gained during continued
employment as a licensed master electrician and former head electrician at a
college in Massachusetts.
