4.0 out of 5 stars Electricial Engineers Portable Handbook, June 17, 2000
I have found this book to be very helpful for the electricial industry. There is much information available which can only be found by using many other publicatons or information available only from the manufactor of the equipment. It covers services, and grounding of electricial systems. It also covers fire protection systems, motors and lighting. There are many charts and graphs in the book. I would recommend this book for anyone in the electricial field.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well, It IS Portable, June 26, 2007
This is a good collection of useful information in compact form. I like the old tables that are missing in newer editions of the NEC. When odering this book, be sure to get a good magnifying glass. Lots of 3 pt text here.

Good reference source for electrical power-related engineering work. However, would be good if it had current National Electrical Code info instead of the previous NEC revision... Read more
