Revised every three years, the National Electric Code is the most widely used and accepted criteria for all electrical installations. It is adopted as law by most states, cities, and municipalities. It contains the up-to-the minute facts and safety guidelines students and electricians need to avoid costly errors. It remains a "must-have" reference for anyone involved in electrical design installation, identification, and/or inspection.

The National Electrical Code (NEC)is published every 3 years by the National Fire Protection Association. It is offered as the minimum safety standard for electrical installations, but is not a law until adopted by the respective state or municipal governing body. The 1999 NEC has undergone some major revisions since the 1996 edition in order to improve the readability and understandability of a document which is not written in lay-mans terms. The NEC states that it does not intend to provide a design specification nor an instruction manual for the untrained. This re-write has been successful in helping to clarify and improve many areas, particular Article 250 on Grounding. Many exceptions have been removed from the 1996 version and re-written into a "positive" text in the 1999 edition, helping to reduce some of the confusion. The larger format of the 1999 NEC makes it easier reading, and makes the tables much more usable.
Certainly, additional study and supplemental references are essential in order to fully comprehend the meaning of the NEC and the intended application in our every day wiring installations. As a certified electrical instructor and licensed electrial inspector, I use the NEC every day and have found that the 1999 edition is an improvement over the 1996 edition.

Dear Amazon, nice to see you carry this all important book, but as a Massachusetts Electrician it is useless to me. We are required to follow the NEC with the Massachusetts supplement. That would be nice to see on your list.

The index is so poorly written that you need a FIRMS FAST FINDER to locate any code passage in a reasonable amount of time. The book is so unreadable that you need the NEC HANDBOOK to understand it. The book has more exceptions than rules. It is so confusing that electrical inspectors argue about its interpretation. After reading it I am personally sickened that any state would adopt any new editon of this book as the standard. Sincerely,J.Adams
