17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations: Explained and Illustrated
As a result of many years developing and teaching courses devoted to compliance with the IEE wiring regulations, it has become apparent that many operatives and personnel in the electrical contracting industry have forgotten the basic principles and concepts upon which electric power supply and its use are based. As a result of this, misconceived ideas and much confusion have arisen over the interpretation of the regulations.rnIt is the intention of this book to dispel such misconceptions and to educate and where necessary refresh the memory of the reader. In this respect, emphasis has been placed on those areas where most confusion arises, namely earthing and bonding, protection, and circuit design. Much of part 5 of the regulations is not mentioned, since it deals with selection of accessories, etc. which needs little or no explanation. Part 6 which deals with special installations or locations, has now been included.rnThe current sixteenth edition of the IEE wiring regulations, also known as BS 7671, to which this book conforms, was published in June 2001. The philosophy and concepts that this book seeks to explain remain unchanged, regardless of the edition. It is not a guide to the regulations or a replacement for them, nor does it seek to interpret them regulation by regulation. It should, in fact, be read in conjunction with them, to help the reader, each chapter cities the relevant regulation number for cross-reference.rnIt is hoped that the book will be found particularly useful by college students, electricians and technicians, and also by managers of smaller electrical contracting firms that do no normally employ engineers or designers. It should also be a useful addition to the library of those studying for the C & G 2381 qualification.rnThe classic handy reference guide for everyone involved in electrical installation – contractors, designers, electricians, plumbers and students.rnNew edition covers additional essential information on special locations, clarifying common misconceptions in the application of wiring regulations in these areas.rnFully in line with the 2001 version of BS 7671:2001 (incorporating amendments 1:2002 & 2:2004), and matched to the city & guilds 2381 vocational award.rnBrian Scaddan’s guides to the IEE wiring regulations have established themselves as an industry standard. This new edition will be an essential reference for all contractors, technicians and other professionals, as well as newcomers to the industry, who need to ensure their work complies with the latest version of the wiring regulations.rnUsed alongside the regulations themselves, this bookis the key to safe and efficient electrical installation. The book is also a concise and popular text for the city & guilds 2381 syllabus. The new edition is updated throughout to match the 2004 version of BS 7671:2001 (incorporating amendments 1:2002 & 2:2004), and also features extended coverage of special location (such as bathrooms, construction sites and computer/data type installations). There are common misconceptions in the application of the wiring regulations in these areas with regard to bonding, voltages, disconnection times and sizes of earthing conductors. Brian Scaddan clarifies the requirements, and outlines the correct procedures to follow (and those to avoid). Problems are provided, for use as self-check exercises or college assignments.rn
