Electrical Contracting

Electrical Contracting, Second Edition is a nine-chapter text guide for the greater efficiency in planning and completing installations for the design, installation and control of electrical contracts. This book starts with a general overview of the efficient cabling and techniques that must be employed for safe wiring design, as well as the cost estimation of the complete electrical contract. The subsequent chapters are devoted to other electrical contracting requirements, including electronic motor control, lighting, and electricity tariffs. A chapter focuses on the IEE Wiring Regulations and Statutory Regulations to ensure compliance to the fundamental requirements for safety. The discussion then shifts to visual inspection and testing in accordance with the IEE Wiring Regulations. The last chapter describes the special role of the Joint Industrial Council for Electrical Installation Contracting in introducing a rational and equitable incomes policy into the industry. This text includes many worked examples and illustrations to demonstrate how the technical and commercial aspects are put into practice.
