Pocket Guide to the National Electrical Code is intended for use as a convenient reference guide for all who are involved in the design, installation, inspection, and teaching of electrical installations as well as the manufacture of electrical products that go into these projects. It is intended for the frequent as well as the infrequent user. This book is not intended to replace the National Electrical Code but rather to be used with it. It is intended to provide a reference book containing those topics in the NEC that occur most frequently to the user in his or her work experience. The Code topics are discussed in plain, understandable English. The size of this book is such that it can be carried at all times when it might prove inconvenient to carry a copy of the complete National Electrical Code. This book is arranged in the same order as the National Electrical Code. All chapter and article headings, and almost all paragraph headings, are included. This arrangement ensures that cross referencing between this book and the NEC is easy and convenient. It also ensures that one book will provide the necessary information regardless of who is using it. The NEC is not necessarily arranged in the order that one might use it. Depending upon whether you are designing, installing, inspecting, or teaching, the order in which you will use the different topics in the NEC will differ. A book arranged for an installer might not be convenient for the designer. Because the purpose of this book is to compile a handy reference guide in pocket size, the entire National Electrical Code cannot be covered. The topics and parts of articles and paragraphs of the NEC chosen for discussion in this book are those that I feel would be most useful either on a daily basis or as a convenient reference. Less frequently used parts are noted by article or paragraph headings for reference purposes. This arrangement lets you know that even though not covered, those topics do exist in the Code. For convenience in use and reference, certain tables and examples are reproduced by permission of the National Fire protection Association. Included in this book are more than 30 tables taken from Chapters 1 through 8 in the Code. They are found throughout this book in the same location as they appear in the Code. Also included in their entirety are Chapter 9 (Tables), Annex C (Conduit and Tubing Fill Tables for Conductors and Fixture Wires of the Same Size), and Annex D (Examples). The material presented in this book is not intended as official interpretations. Official or formal interpretations can be obtained only from the NFPA and through a definite procedure outlined in the Code. It is recommended that the authorities having jurisdiction be consulted. This book refers to the 2005 edition of the National Electrical Code. Guide for the User Pocket Guide has been a handy reference for the electrical designer, installer, and manufacturer for 22 years. The first one was published in 1984, and this is the 8th edition. Since that time I have had many conversations with the users. They have told me how convenient it is to have all the information in a pocket-size book that can be carried in a shirt pocket, toolbox, glove compartment, or briefcase. having been a field engineer and designer, I wrote the book for this very reason. Since the first edition I have tried to encompass the comments that I have received from the users into editions of the book. In recent years other pocket guides have been written. None of them has been used as long as this one, nor have they included the input from the users over these many years. I have been told that there are many contractors who give a copy to each of their installers
