[bkeps.com]The first edition of this title proved the most successful of the
Portable Handbook series launched in 1999. Aimed at
electrical
engineers and technicians working in building
power systems, the
relentlessly practical Handbook succeeded as an in the field working
tool. This new edition is necessitated by the new 2002 version of the
National
electrical Code (NEC). This code changes render much of the
existing material obsolete, so over half the chapters require heavy
rewrites to stay current.
