Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding, 13th Edition (NEC 2017)

Grounding has often puzzled experts and caused non-experts to quake through the years. In the late 1990s, because there was so much confusion on this topic, the NEC Correlating Committee formed a special task group for usability to tackle Article 250. The charter for this task group was to make the requirements more logical and to add clarity to this subject. That process has been ongoing with each successive Code cycle. In this 13th edition of Soares text, through the use of examples and detailed illustrations, IAEI has again tried to set forth clearly the theory and practice of grounding and bonding, allowing you to have tools to better master the subject. Seldom do design, engineering, installation and enforcement perspectives come together in one book, especially on the controversial topics of grounding and bonding. This, however, is exactly what IAEI has achieved with this edition of Soares. Not only does this book explain how and why certain grounding methods are used, but it does so in a logical way, balancing text with photos and illustrations. Cutting through the confusion of industry jargon and common misconceptions, and using correct defined terminology, the authors guide the reader step-by-step through the language and intent of the National Electrical Code, NEC-2017. In accordance with IAEI s hallmark of systematic explanations, detailed illustrations and photos of actual installations enhance each topic. Why be stumped by grounding and bonding?
