Product Description

Review
"This is a book that boils the complex IEE regs down to the salient points for a straightforward domestic installation." AMAZON.CO.UK READER REVIEW (review of the previous edition)

Product Description
This book has for many years been the standard guide to the practical aspects of domestic electrical wiring. It explains step-by-step what needs to be done so that work can be carried out safely and correctly first time. The thirteenth edition has been fully updated in line with the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations and latest best practice.

It is essential reading for anyone obtaining a Domestic Installer Scheme Qualification which relates to Part P of the Building Regulations. The handy format and clear, straightforward text have also made this book popular as a quick guide to best practice for electricians. Although it is not intended as a DIY manual, non-qualified persons will also find the book useful before calling in qualified operatives.

3.0 out of 5 stars Technical Handbook, 26 Jul 2005
By G. Golding "Goldgraham" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Electric Wiring: Domestic (Paperback)
Ideal if you are doing some major rewiring and you want to check you are doing it properly and complying with building regs. The explanation of circuit breakers, for example, is thorough and you get a clear idea of the different types and how they should be used.
I would only buy this as companion to something like "The Which Book of Wiring and Lighting". If I only had a straightforward bit of wiring to do, like some new lights, the latter book is far more accessible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Electric Wiring : Domestic, 14 Aug 2006
By DG Powell "DG Powell" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Electric Wiring: Domestic (Paperback)
This book is ideal for modifications to current installations where someone already has some appreciation of what is required, i.e. is not a complete novice. The number of typographical errors consign this book to be used for cursory reference and not to be used a basic reference - and even then do not rely upon the figures stated. The next re-print must remove these errors as a top priorty.

4.0 out of 5 stars A path through the swamp, 21 Jan 2004
This review is from: Electric Wiring: Domestic (Paperback)
This book provides a good overview of a vast subject area and is clearly aimed at the more ambitious DIYer. Although some basic knowledge of electrical principles is assumed the content is practical and sensible; there are plenty of clear diagrams, and all the major issues are covered from high-level planning through to low-level installation details. This is a book that boils the complex IEE regs down to the salient points for a straightforward domestic installation. My only criticisms would be that the prose is sometimes a little vague and there are some annoying typos.

Whilst I will still need to seek further advice in some more complex areas, at least now I’ll know what questions to ask, and will hopefully understand the replies! Overall this book is a solid starting point if you’re considering rewiring your house, which is exactly what I wanted.
