Written to the 2008 NEC and 2011 NEC.
This is not only a great study guide filled with sample electrician’s exam questions, but it teaches you how to quickly turn to the code section that answers the questions. This could mean the difference between you passing or failing your exam.
Why is this so important?
Most electrician’s exams give you about 2 minutes per question – not enough time to browse through 800 pages of fine print looking for each answer. This manual, based on the 2008 NEC and
2011 NEC editions, explains how the Code is organized, so you understand where the information you need is located. Then it shows how to rearrange and tab your copy of the Code to streamline your search efforts. Next, you learn a step-by-step search procedure, in which you’re shown how to analyze the question to determine its subject, know where to look in the index, find the exact article, then turn right to the Code section that answers your question.
Pass your exam the first time!
Today, just about anyone installing, repairing or maintaining electrical systems must be licensed and certified by the state where they’re doing the work. That means they have to learn the rules and regulations that apply to electrical installations, and pass a state exam.
The primary reference for all state certification examinations is the National Electrical Code® and this study guide is designed as an aid to the 2008 and the 2011 editions -- the Codes currently adopted in most jurisdictions.
You'll constantly refer to the NEC® while studying with Journeyman Electrician’s Preparation & Study Guide. Using practice questions provided, you'll learn how to analyze each question so you know exactly what to look for in the Code. You'll become familiar with the Code’s organization, and will learn to use the proven tips and shortcuts demonstrated to turn quickly to the exact section, article and table you need for each question.
While others taking the exam waste precious minutes hunting through pages, you'll be speeding through, with time at the end to check your answers.
You'll learn the Code rules and terminology so you understand the language and requirements of this important standard, including:
- The organization of the NEC
- How to find information
- NEC definitions
- Special occupancies
- Zone classifications
- Working clearances
- Service installations
- Branch circuit requirements
- Equipment grounding
- Bonding requirements
- Conductor ampacities
- Box fill requirements
- Motor and control requirements
- Load calculations
- Safety requirements
At the end of the book are Three Practice Exams, each with 20 multiple-choice questions, and a separate answer sheet that shows you how to look up each question in the Code. Keep testing yourself till you get them all, in record time.
With the Journeyman Electrician’s Preparation & Study Guide and your NEC, you'll have the skills, the knowledge and the tools you need to pass the your state’s certification examination and receive your General Journeyman Electrician’s License.
