The 9th Edition of Basic Electrical Installation Work has been rewritten in fi ve chapters to closely match the fi ve units of the City and Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations (Building and Structures) (2365–02).

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