A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A very cost effective supplement to the IEE Regs, lots of good explanations accompanied by diagrams. I found the explanations and circuits for system testing particulalry helpful, since it explains the underlying principles and is much more than a how to use guide (By Beech500, May 2015). --Beech500, May 2015.

Bought this because i was doubtful of an electrician's work and this book gave me a very easy way of confirming my suspicions. The book is clear and concise and goes in sufficient depth without overload. i have since found it useful in planning a number of projects. (ZipDC 8 Jan. 2014 (3rd edition). Verdict 5/); --ZipDC Jan 2014. Ex Amazon website. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Electricians-Guide-17th-Wiring-Regulations/dp/0953788571/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1435597943&sr=1-1&keywords=whitfield+John

The layout is well structured, clear, consistent and unambiguous, making it very easy to find the few bits you are specifically interested in right now without having to wade through all the rest of the book. It has an excellent Contents Table, large Index, useful Cross-reference Index (Regs ref number to guide chapter and section) and an essential Abbreviations Glossary. Best of all, the text and diagrams are easy to follow and cover all the practical and theoretical elements of the 17th Regs without confusing the issues. I first bought a Whitfield for the 15th Regs back in 1989; that was a breath of fresh air compared with the massive tomes in our technical library containing the Regs themselves. That copy, even with its reinforced binding, was slim enough to fit the back pocket of my jeans for me to take on site to be able to discuss the quality of the contractors work with them. This new copy is bigger, and requires a wider anorak pocket, or a briefcase, and the binding might suffer more from the inevitable damp, but those are my only criticisms! For peace of mind, buy this. It is so easy to use, and yet it has all the relevant information required by any member of the building team, be they wireman, foreman, installation design engineer, project manager or architect. If you feel the need to argue cases with a lazy contractor then perhaps you might also need the IET OnSite Guide as well, but most will accept Whitfield's wise words. (R.F.S.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For an astonishing 30 years, John Whitfield's Electrician's Guide to the Wiring Regulations has been a bestseller amongst electricians including students, installers and designers. The Guide is in fact a brand and regarded over the years as THE guide to the Wiring Regulations. Unlike other publications, it does not assume that readers are fully conversant with electrical theory. It assumes just a basic knowledge and introduces technical matter with brief easy-to-understand explanations. This 4th Edition of the Guide is a continuation of the bestselling series. It covers the latest Amendment 3:2015,regarded as 'potentially life-saving', such as changes in auxiliary circuits, earth fault loop impedances protective devices, surge protection and outdoor lighting. As in earlier editions, all useful relevant details derived from other IET publications such as Guidance Notes, Wiring Matters, which might otherwise be overlooked by electricians, are included. Importantly the Guide also benefits from the most up-to- date, hands-on expertise provided by the co-author, Andrew Hay-Ellis, whose credentials are second-to-none. He is an established author of vocational electrical books and, amongst other functions, is a Chief Examiner at City & Guilds. All in all, only one book is needed to summarise all the relevant details from the many publications available! No legal jargon, no unnecessary details, comprehensive - yet practical, helpful and easy to put into practice.
