The world's most widely adopted safety code, the National Electrical Code (NEC) is now advancing electrical safety requirements with the 2008 edition in an effort to maximize public safety, emergency preparation, and electrical worker protection. With regulations for electrical wiring and equipment in virtually all types of buildings, this new edition responds to industry needs with expanded requirements based on research, new technologies, and recent events. A must-have for anyone involved in electrical design, installation, inspection, and safety, this edition has been updated for enhanced usability in the field, making it ideal for handling on-the-job electrical situations safely and effectively. Delmar, a part of Cengage Learning is pleased to make this authoritative reference from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) available directly from us, for the convenience of our customers who work in and around the electrical trades. It may be used independently, or as a companion to any electrical book, including Delmar's best-selling wiring series, as well as our guides to using the NEC.

NEC 2008 CD Limited to Two Downloads?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Electrical Code 2008 (International Electrical Code) (CD-ROM)
The web-based 'key' only lets you install the CD to your hard drive twice. Most of us have a desktop at home and one in the office, plus a laptop for the field. They know this. We need three downloads plus three more for when we upgrade our computer hardware or rebuilkd after a crash. The publisher's tactic is a crime. This will end the era of using any NFPA code materials on my computers, its back to hard copy. AMAZON NEEDS TO STATE THIS TWO-INSTALL LIMITATION IN THIS WEBSITE AD TO PROTECT US. We have no other way to know what we are really buying.

A nice alternative to the pricier binder edition.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Electrical Code 2008 (National Fire Protection Association National Electrical Code) (Paperback)
The paperback version of the NEC code book works well as an office reference manual and is an economical alternative to the pre-tabbed binder edition. Although, I would highly recommend purchasing the tabs to install on this paperback edition in order to cut down on time-consuming searches.

A must have for DIY electrical work,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Electrical Code 2008 (National Fire Protection Association National Electrical Code) (Paperback)
If you are going to do any electrical work in your home or garage, I highly recommend this publication. Some of the wording and references take some thought to decipher, but this book will save you headaches down the road, either with current electrical code inspections, or selling your home later on.
