Richard E Loyd needs teaching lessons!!!,
By Grimlock_ro "Grimlock_ro" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journeyman Electrician's Review: Based on the 2005 National Electric Code (Paperback)
To be compleatly fair I am currently half way through the book so my review is only based on my experience with the book so far. At this perticular molment in time I am compleatly feed up with this book. I have come across a number of typos including references to articles in the code book that don't seem to exist: example (in chapter 6 range table 220.19 should be 220.55). Explinations to answers seem to contridict the actual answer: Example (chapter 7 page 103, Answer is no but the explination goes on to say why the answer is yes!!!) WTF!The examples in this book are at times too complex in the "introductory" of the chapters, such as the examples in chapter 8 "overcurrent protection" which introduces the chapter and begins to go more into depth on the subject matter. Example: (And this is the shorter much simpler one): What is the maximum size time-delay fuse permitted to protect a 1-hoursepower 3-phase, 230-volt squirrel cage motor with a name plate of 3.3 amperes?) Then the explination to the correct answer goes on through 5 steps on how to come to the final conclution. Its too complex and doesn't explain enough as to how a person would know to refer to the given articles mentioned (unless you memorize every section in the NEC!). Also it mentions Table 430.150 but when you look in the book to try and follow Mr Loyd you find Article 430.128 and then the very next Article is 430.221!!! Then looking in Motors XIV "Tables" there are 7 tables and none of them are "430.150"!!! WTF, is this a joke! This is why I say Mr. Loyd needs teaching lessons, simply because you don't take someone who is trying to learn how to ride a bicycle and put them on a motorcycle! And tell them to rotate thier wrist if they want to slow down! Also explinations such as the one on Power factor (chapter 3) are horrable, I was compleatly disappointed when I read it as I was hoping the book would enlighten me on the topic, what is the cosine Mr Loyd??? If we already knew these things why would we buy your book! Also where are the sections that explain some of the basic types of electrical circuts that exist such as wye connected circuts and Delta connected circuts, shouldn't there atleast be SOME basic explinations of these circuts. Maybe one chapter to talk about 120/240 120/208 and so one, just a few paragraphs of each type and where you commonly see them (what enviroments)! Also how about explaining Demand factor and other electrical terms. The chapter in the book on Branch-Circuts and feeders hardly explained anything on how to caulculate circuts and loads, also they just copied the same examples found in the NEC code book, strait to thiers!!! Well, I could go on and on but I will leave it at that. Buyer beware! I did give it two stars because even with the chapters that misguide and confuse you you do end up learning the layout of the code book more or less so: (two stars to be fair!) -8 year electrician

This review is from: Journeyman Electrician's Review: Based on the 2005 National Electric Code (Paperback)
I used both of Mr. Loyd's books for the Journeyman Exams and Master Electrician Exams. Although there were typos, and the material wasn't exactly "polished," (and frankly a bit mundane) working through the material helped me to pass both exams on the first attempt, without any previous formal code training. If you grasp the material in these books you will pass the exam. The material he presented was a "bulls-eye." He helps write the exams so he knows the material you need to know. I teach in the local I.E.C. Apprenticeship school now and I am using it to prepare my 4th year students to take the Journeyman Exam.

I made 80% on the Journeyman test. This book was a great help. If you use this book you should be able to pass.
