Quick Navigation

Overview

Written for industrial wiring courses at two-year community and technical colleges, ELECTRICAL WIRING INDUSTRIAL, Seventeenth Edition, walks learners step-by-step through the basics of installing wiring systems in an industrial building. A set of blueprints included with the text enables students to apply chapter concepts to a realistic industrial building project as they progress through the content and continue to build practical skills. This pairing of theory and application helps students understand and meet requirements set forth by the National Electric Code® (NEC®). Now printed in vibrant full color, the Seventeenth Edition is ideal for engaging today's visual learners, with abundant drawings, schematics, and illustrations to help bring key concepts to life and connect chapter material to real-life applications.

ELECTRICAL WIRING INDUSTRIAL, Seventeenth Edition, completes Cengage's NEC-based Electrical Wiring series, which includes ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL and ELECTRICAL WIRING COMMERCIAL. All books in this series have been thoroughly updated to reflect the 2020 NEC, the industry standard for layout and installation of electrical systems.
