An invaluable reference book for electricians and electrical plant designers. Provides in one handbook a summary on BS 7671 2001 (The IEE Wiring Regulations), a guide to their interpretation and application, and all the necessary installation tables. Fully typeset and divided into four parts, each printed on different on different coloured paper for ease of use reference.

Part 1 Gives the BS 7671 2001 (IEE Wiring Regulations) under subject titles in an easy to understand language. Each paragraph gives reference to the original regulation number.

Part 2 Explains the regulations in an order which illustrates how an installation should be designed. Subjects covered include, assessment, selecting protective devices, overloads, derating of conductors, voltage drop, shock protection, circuit protective conductors, fault currents, short circuit currents, isolation and switching, mechanical maintenance, emergency switching, inspection and testing.

Part 3 Gives Tables for maximum length circuits can be to comply with the Regulations including tables giving the maximum length of cable sizes required when grouped in different modes, values of earth loop impedance Zs for design and testing, maximum Zs for protective conductors, capacity of trunking and conduit etc.

Part 4 Over 40 tables giving the information necessary when designing installations, from the impedance of transformers to the impedance of conduit. Contains characteristics of mcbs rewirable fuses and HRC fuses.

An essential book for all electricians, electrical engineers and anybody needing to make sense of the IEE Wiring Regulations.

Other books by this author include The Electricity at Work and Related Regulations.
