National Electrical Code 2011 Handbook

If you work in Power or are just trying to pass the PE exam, this is the NEC book you want.In short it contains all the NEC code, but adds explanations, illustrations and examples.Yes it costs more...but money well spent if it is the difference between passing or failing the test.HINTS for the PE exam:1. Write down sections you use for all the practice problems.2. Do not buy some fancy tabs, buy some tabs with different colors, carefully write and trim your own labels for each chapter, major tables, and major sub sections that show up in the practice problems.3. When taking the test, leave all the code problems for after you solve the others so you are not constantly opening closing and moving books around, this will save you time and take advantage of "brain in code mode".Good Luck

I updated from a 2005 (CT didn't accept 2008) and I'm impressed at how much more user friendly this book is. With detailed pictures now and examples there's less chance for misinterpreting bizarre and complicated text segments. I'd also recommend tabs. I never realized just how much time the cut down when browsing for an answer.

I heard that there were several changes this year to the book so I had to buy it. They were right. There where several changes and the book was very much needed. It was bought at a good price and arrived within a few days.

This handbook is very useful and pretty much a requirement for anyone in an electrical profession. Definitely a lot cheaper to buy this here rather than direct from the author. Having the additional information along with the code text can be helpful in some cases. In my opinion a worthwhile investment every three years for the price. Very pleased with the book itself, but it arrived with the hardcover corners bent in slightly and with a dark oil or something along the bottom edge of the book pages. Obviously not a big deal and has no effect on the content, but not up to my high expectations developed based on all of my previous Amazon purchases. Otherwise, very happy with the purchase of this handbook.

I so happy no complaint the book is in excellent condition I need this book to get more information and make better videos in my YouTube channel Thanks 🤓👍

Didn't know I could actually use this book on the contracting exam until I arrived there today, I was soooo mad I left it at home, I can't see straight. The normal NEC book reads like a tax law book and is IMPOSSIBLE to reference during the exam, unlike this book would have been for the test. FUDGE ME.

This is a must have for any electrician. The new 2014 version has one extra section compared to the 2011 version. This one is better than the soft cover one. They do better in the handbook with explaining certain parts of the code better and include many pictures.

I always purchase the handbook as well as the code book. In 2008 I found out that although the NFPA claim the entire text of the code is printed in the handbook, it just isn't so. Try to find the reference to electroendosmosis above Table 310.13(A) in the handbook, it isn't there but it is in the code book.
