The THIRD edition of Introduction to Electrical Installation Work is, as the title implies, a first book of electrical installation practice. It is designed to be a simple introduction to electrical theory and practice and, therefore, does not contain any difficult mathematics or complicated electrical theory.
The book will be of assistance to students taking a first year electrical course, particularly those taking the City and Guilds Level 2 certificate In Environmental Systems and the Level 3 Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems.
Introduction to Electrical Installation Work provides a sound basic knowledge of electrical practice which will also be valuable to the other trades in the construction industry who require a knowledge of electrical installation work, particularly those involved in installing the new environmental technology systems and multi-skilling activities.
This book incorporates the requirements of the latest regulations,
particularly:
l The 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008)
l New Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005
l The New Work at Height Regulations 2005
l The New Part P Building Regulations (Electrical Safety in Dwellings)
2005
l The New (Harmonised) Fixed Cable Core Colours (2006)
The content of this new edition have been updated and expanded to incorporate the new envirnomental technology subjects in the City and Guilds examinations. Each chapter concludes with Assessment Questions in preparation for the City & Guilds On-Line Assessment.
