4th Edition
by Bill Atkinson (Author), Roger Lovegrove (Author), Gary Gundry (Author)
A practical and highly popular guide for electrical contractors of small installations, now fully revised in accordance with the latest wiring regulations
The book
is a clearly written practical guide on how to design and complete a
range of electrical installation projects in a competitive manner, while
ensuring full compliance with the new Wiring Regulations (updated late
2008). The updated regulations introduced changes in terminology, such
as ‘basic’ and ‘fault protection’, and also changed the regulation
numbers. This new edition reflects these changes. It discusses new
sections covering domestic, commercial, industrial and agricultural
projects, including material on marinas, caravan sites, and small scale
floodlighting. This book provides guidance on certification and test
methods, with full attention given to electrical safety requirements.
Other brand new sections cover protective measures, additional
protection by means of RCDs, the new cable guidelines for thin wall
partitions and Part P of the Building Regulations.
