A Practical Guide to The Wiring Regulations by John Bradley

A Practical Guide to The Wiring Regulations by John Bradley

This best-selling text has been revised to reflect the requirements of the 17th Edition of the IEEWiring Regulations (BS 7671: 2008). It includes essential information on the new rules applied to special installations or locations, such as bathrooms, swimming pool locations, camping/caravan sites, marinas, exhibition and show locations, solar photovoltaic power supply systems, and floor and ceiling heating systems, amongst others. It presents clear explanations on inspection, testing, certification and reporting, test instruments and test methods, as well as covering: electricity, the law, standards and codes of practice; assessment of general characteristics; protection against electric shock, thermal effects, overcurrent, undervoltage and overvoltage; isolation and switching; the common rules of equipment selection; switchgear, protective devices and other equipment; wiring systems (including the external influences on them and cable installation methods); protective conductors, earthing and protective bonding; supplies for safety services; the smaller installation, and; specialised installations, such as outdoor lighting, installations in churches, multi-occupancy blocks of flats. These topics are addressed with pertinent regulation numbers, and a useful appendix lists the relevant Standards. Background guidance and worked examples are provided where appropriate. Like the earlier editions of this text, this new edition will be a useful aid for designers, installers and verifiers of electrical installations, students of the industry wishing to gain better understanding of the many facets of electrical safety, and ‘duty holders’ as defined by the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

John Bradley was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in: Munich and Nuremberg, Germany (though he claims Germanic amnesia); Framingham, Natick, and Saxonville, Massachusetts; Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska; Massapequa and Lynbrook, New York; and Wayzata, Minnesota. For much of his childhood, his most important possession was his public library card. His job history includes: newspaper carrier, snow shoveler, library clerk, book warehouse worker (ripping covers off returned books), dishwasher (he lasted one shift), housepainter, tea bag packer, fish habitat builder, newspaper circulation desk clerk, window washer, test monitor, bagel-sandwich-maker, copy store clerk, drawing class model, mover, bookstore clerk, poll worker, and night custodian. He regrets he was never a mail carrier. He earned a B.A. in History and a B.A. in English from the University of Minnesota. In 1972, his draft board reluctantly granted him conscientious objector status. He received his M.A. from Colorado State University and his M.F.A. from Bowling Green State University. His book Love-In-Idleness (Word Works), a collection of persona poems set in Fascist Italy, won the Washington Prize. He's also authored Terrestrial Music (Cursbstone), War on Words (BlazeVOX), and You Don't Know What You Don't Know (CSU Poetry Center). He's edited Atomic Ghost (Coffee House), Learing to Glow (Univ. Arizona), and Eating the Pure Light: Homage to Thomas McGrath (Backwaters). He is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize and two NEA Fellowships in Poetry. He teaches at Northern Illinois University. He lives in DeKalb, Illinois, with his wife, Jana, a catalog librarian, and their cats, Kiki and Zuzu. (Note: Mr. Bradley provided no endnotes or footnotes for verification of the above.)
