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.
