AlbakiReads Editorial

A broad technical reference for electrical work

Organized as a working handbook, the seventeenth edition spans electrical fundamentals, conductors, circuit calculations, equipment, wiring, lighting, optical fiber, and safety. Its reference materials include photos, diagrams, charts, tables, and calculations, alongside coverage of technologies such as Power over Ethernet, photovoltaics, and induction lighting. The edition describes its alignment with the 2020 National Electrical Code and National Electrical Safety Code; because codes and standards can change, readers should verify current requirements separately. A new chapter addresses industry safety methods and their relationship to OSHA requirements.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Professional electricians seeking a wide-ranging job reference
  • Readers who need reference tables, diagrams, and calculations alongside topic coverage
  • Those interested in electrical technologies including PoE and photovoltaics

The new edition of the best-known reference for electricians―fully updated for the latest codes and standards

For over a century, this practical handbook has served as the definitive industry reference for information on designing, installing, operating, and maintaining electrical systems and equipment.

American Electricians' Handbook, 17th Edition, covers current energy-efficient technologies, such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), photovoltaics and induction lighting, and contains a new chapter that clearly explains new industry safety methods, along with detailed coverage of how those procedures correlate with OSHA requirements.
