NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, wasdeveloped because of the high number of electrical accidents that have been attributed to the lack of maintenance on various types of electrical equipment found in commercial and industrial locations. Proper maintenance of electrical equipment, when not performed regularly, will not only cause a possible high monetary loss of equipment and property, but can present a danger to personnel in the form of a serious injury or a… Show more

NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, wasdeveloped because of the high number of electrical accidents that have been attributed to the lack of maintenance on various types of electrical equipment found in commercial and industrial locations. Proper maintenance of electrical equipment, when not performed regularly, will not only cause a possible high monetary loss of equipment and property, but can present a danger to personnel in the form of a serious injury or a possible fatality.

As with all codes and standards, implementation and correlation of preventive maintenance techniques can represent a challenge to the personnel charged with maintaining electrical systems and equipment in the commercial or industrial environment. In Stallcup’s Electrical Equipment Maintenance Simplified, these recommended procedures and general guidelines are discussed and presented in a formatted arrangement so that application of the standard can be achieved.

The following topics are specifically addressed: ​

(1) Designing Techniques of Product Standards (where applicable)
(2) Installation per NEC and NESC Requirements
(3) Maintenance Recommendations per NFPA 70B
(4) Use of Instruction Specifications per Manufacturer (where applicable)

The authors would like to point out that the most important Chapters and Sections of NFPA 70B that cover requirements that are essential to the safe operation of electrical equipment have been selected for this book. If these recommended procedures are performed by maintenance personnel, electrical systems and equipment can be relied upon to operate and perform for a long period of time. Show less

The OSHA Standards present necessary and constant considerations by an employer for their implementation.

Stallcup has authored a series of publications to make these regulations easier to understand, by correlating these rules and regulations with other codes and Standards, such as the NEC, NFPA 70E, and the NESC. And by illustrating their application, the adherence by employers and workers is promoted.

The 2020 edition of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) contains many comprehensive revisions pertaining to specific National Electrical Code rules and regulations. Electrical personnel have an immediate and awesome task in not only learning, but implementing these revisions in their everyday design, installation, and inspection of electrical systems.

The material in this book, if read and studied carefully in a continuous and enthusiastic manner, will provide a proper update on the revisions in the 2020 National Electrical Code. However, even though it is true that only time and discussion among electrical personnel will provide the answers on how to interpret and apply some of these rules, one can use this book to get a head start.

Illustrated Code Changes explains the major changes in the 2020 National Electrical Code and can be used as a guide for fast and easy reference. These changes are presented in numerical order to correlate with the Articles and Sections as they appear in the 2020 National Electrical Code and are also illustrated to give a more detailed description. Where appropriate, reasons for revisions and new articles are given, along with what kind of impact such changes will have on manufacturers, designers, installers, and inspectors.

For every proposal made, there was a reason, and hopefully, this book will provide some of the reasons why a change resulted. Show less

Obtaining a journeyman electrician license has been the springboard for numerous careers in the electrical industry. Most electrical contractors, electrical inspectors, apprenticeship instructors, authors, and consultants began as journeyman electricians.

Nearly all persons who work in the electrical industry as construction electricians consider themselves journeyman electricians. However, only those electricians who have taken and passed a recognized journeyman electrician license examination truly can be called a journeyman electrician.

Stallcup’s® Journeyman Electrician's Study Guide is designed not only for instructors who are preparing apprentice students to take the ultimate test for obtaining a journeyman electrician license, but also for those apprentices and electrical workers in the trade who have taken the test, have failed, and must now resort to self-study.

Many designers, installers and inspectors have trouble understanding, interpreting, and applying the electrical requirements listed in the above standards and codes. These requirements have been assembled and correlated in such a manner as to be easily understood. To help expedite the time involved in finding the rules and applying the requirements for general industry, sections in each standard have been listed for fast reference.

Designers must design and lay out electrical systems to meet the provisions of the OSHA standards. Installers are required to install and wire electrical systems to comply with the NEC and provide safety for the employee working in his or her workplace. Inspectors must inspect the electrical system to ensure that it not only complies with the NEC but also provides the necessary safety requirements of OSHA and NFPA 70E.

To be inline with NFPA 70E, OSHA Electrical Regulations Simplified is divided into four chapters:

Chapter 1: Safety-Related Work Practices
Chapter 2: Safety-Related Maintenance Requirements
Chapter 3: Safety Requirements for Special Equipment

The Standard NFPA 70E was developed by NFPA at the request of OSHA. OSHA needed this standard to help them keep as current as possible with the requirements in the NEC that pertain to safety-related work practices, including the newly implemented arc-flash requirements. The OSHA standards are rarely changed and therefore lag behind the NEC as well as other codes and standards. Show less
