Code Check Electrical: An Illustrated Guide to Wiring a Safe House

Great for keeping up with the electrical code. I love these books; just the facts. This is not a " how to book" you have to know what you are doing in general. Easy transaction and the book arrived on time. Highly recommended!

FULL Disclosure! I am one of the authors. For about 20 years, the Code Check series of books have been a trusted and widely used code reference series in building departments across the US. Many local building officials carry CC books in the field or use them at their permit desk. That is why that are laminated - so they can take the abuse. Several critical comments are that the codes are summarized. Code Check is like the cliff notes for the building codes. There is no other way to fit the info from the National Electrical Code (NEC) - which is nearly 800 pages - into a 32 page book - unless of course we used REALLY small print! lolCCE 8th includes the most commonly used residential electrical codes. There are a dozens of illustrations and tables. The illustrations are literally a "picture" of what the codes say. See the sample illustration attached.CC Electrical 8th focuses on the areas where most of the correction notices are written by the local building inspectors. CCE 8th edition uses the most commonly adopted model codes in effect today in the US. It is based primarily on the 2017 NEC but also highlights many of the code changes from the 2014 NEC. The 2014 NEC was adopted in California in Jan 2016 as the 2016 CEC. CA won't move to the 2017 NEC until Jan 2020. The point being - CCE 8th should be a useful tool in most parts of the US for the next 3-6 years.One thing I find confusing is some of the reviews. There are reviews on this book from 2001 - which is impossible. We didn't start writing CCE 8th edition until very late 2016. I hope you enjoy! -Skip

A friend's recommendation for me to prepare for the exam.In my opinion it is a must have for beginner electricians.

Keeps me straight

Soy Instructor en electricidad y este libro es muy funcional para la enseñanza a mis estudiantes

I’m an intermediate level DIYer. Remodeling my home in California. City is requiring that I upgrade my panel, grounding system and use arc fault breakers. This book gave me exact reference, sections, and basic diagrams so I could plan my upgrades with confidence and talk to the city inspector. I passed inspection the first time.

If you're an electrician. This is great to have and double check your work

Provides all the details of the codes in an easy to ready overview - also has nice photos when neededThanks!Zia
