Commercial work uses more material and the work is usually smooth, long-lasting and more profitable than residential. This updated book has the explanations, examples, and tips to help you comply with the parts of the NEC that apply to commercial wiring in load calculations, sizing of electrical services, selecting and installing overcurrent protection and more. You'll also find how to read and understand symbols, plans, drawings and schematics common in commercial electrical work. If you want to increase your work volume and profits by moving into commercial electrical work, get this book.
A Hands-On Approach to Electrical Design Electrical Design of Commercial and Industrial Buildings teaches students the critical components of electrical design through an integrated approach that combines fundamental theory with hands-on practice. By taking an applied-learning approach to instruction, this text explains electrical principles, design criteria, codes, and other key elements of the design process, then guides students through each step as they create their own electrical design plans. A companion Student Resource CD-ROM accompanies the printed textbook with sample plans - accompanied by example equipment lists, lighting fixture schedules, and calculation templates - provides students with a comprehensive framework for experiential learning. As an integrated learning tool, Electrical Design of Commercial and Industrial Buildings is both an essential teaching guide for electrical design instructors and an enduring reference book for students and professionals.
Commercial and Industrial Wiring focuses on the installation and maintenance of electrical wiring in commercial and industrial facilities.
