Book Preface

The 8th Edition of Advanced Electrical Installation Work has been completely rewritten in six chapters to closely match the six units of the City and Guilds 2365-03 qualifi cation. The technical content has been revised and updated to the requirements of the new 17th edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (incorporating Amendment 3: 2015) and BS 7671. Improved page design with new illustrations gives greater clarity to each topic.

This book of electrical installation theory and practice will be of value to the electrical trainee working towards:
