Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handbook of Electrical Design Details (Hardcover)
This book is huge - but a lot of the details are not practical to the average electrical engineer. How many details of junction boxes and fittings do we need ? About 20% of the details are worth having. However, the book has good technical disussions.The sample specifications are useful as a commerical grade "sheet" specification, but not full book specification. Please note that the book says that you can write for an electronic copy of the specifications included in the book. Sad to say, the author has passed away since it was written and his firm does not provide the specifications on disk. If you are looking for a good electrical power reference book - look to Bob Hickey's Electrical Engineers Portable Handbook.
