Completely updated to reflect the 2020 National Electrical Code, Simmons' "Electrical Grounding and Bonding, Sixth Edition" equips you with a user-friendly, practical guide to the latest requirements in both Article 250 and Chapter 5 of the NEC along with current industry best practices. Clear explanations, real-world examples and colorful illustrations help you master and apply key electrical concepts, such as calculating conductor sizes, reading and interpreting NEC tables, using grounded conductor connections in AC systems, managing installations and sizing, and applying "green" practices for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Whether you are pursuing a degree program, professional training or an apprenticeship, this must-have resource prepares you for career success.

Electricity follows the basic laws of physics, regardless of whether it is current flow over ungrounded (“hot”) conductors, over grounded conductors (sometimes neutral conductors), or in the grounding system. So, if we can understand basic circuit flow, we can understand the requirements and performance rules for grounding and bonding of electrical systems and equipment. You will find several of the illustrations in this book to be fairly basic and uncomplicated. This complements the overall effort to make the rules for grounding and bonding as easy to understand as possible and to take the concepts of grounding and bonding back to the basics.
