Electrical Wiring: Residential Textbook (with Printed Blueprints) 9th Edition by Ray C. Mullin/Sandy Gerolimon/Ron Granelli/Craig Trineer/Tony Branch/Phil Simmons

Overview

Featuring the latest industry standards and procedures, the ninth Canadian edition of Electrical Wiring: Residential provides comprehensive, authoritative coverage of the 2021 Canadian Electrical Code, as well as a thorough grounding in electrical knowledge and applications. Drawing on decades of industry and classroom experience, the authors guide students step-by-step through the critical tasks and responsibilities required of today’s professional electricians in both new construction and existing homes. Vivid illustrations coordinate with the latest code regulations to provide further clarity, and a complete set of blueprints is included to give students hands on practice to help apply CEC theory to real working drawings. This text is a part of the Electrical Wiring series which prepares students to pass their Red Seal Qualification Exam, the national exam required before students can begin their careers as professionally certified electricians. There is a MindTap available with this text as well.
