Not only does this book explain how and why certain grounding methods are used, but it does so in a logical way, balancing text with photos and illustrations. Cutting through the confusion of industry jargon and common misconceptions, and using correct defined terminology, the authors guide the reader step-by-step through the language and intent of the National Electrical Code, NEC-2017. In accordance with IAEI's hallmark of systematic explanations, detailed illustrations and photos of actual installations enhance each topic. Why be stumped by grounding and bonding? Bring it down to earth with this updated material.
