It spells out proper design, maintenance, and operating procedures for minimizing the risks of electrical fires, accidents, and injuries on the job. Coverage of the latest electrical standards helps you comply with the current National Electrical Code (NEC)?? and OSHA requirements. NEC requirements and procedures are provided for grounding an electrical distribution system, selecting proper conductors, sizing the feeder, and effective branch circuit overcurrent protection. Safety considerations are explored for single and three-phase systems, fuses, plugs, and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). The guide also clarifies factors that influence soil resistivity, and it analyzes correction factors for special situations such as high ambient temperature environments. Human responses to electric shock are covered in detail. Among the important areas addressed are the approximate electrical impedance of the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectrical Systems, Terminology and Components--Relationship to Electrical and Lightning Accidents and Fires.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Physiological Effects of Electricity--Relationship to Electrical and Lightning Death and Injury.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Selecting the Proper Size for Conductors and Overcurrent Protection Devices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Grounding of Electrical Distribution Systems and Electrical Equipment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e OSHA Standards and Requirements and the National Electrical Code.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Electrical Wiring and Equipment in Hazardous (Classified) Locations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Electrical Fires: Causes, Prevention, and Investigation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lightning Protection for Buildings, Equipment, and Personnel.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Static Electricity: Causes, Analysis and Prevention.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e High Voltage Systems: Design, Construction and Maintenance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402554220887,"sku":"9780471290773","price":134.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471290773.jpg?v=1730480740","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/electrical-hazards-and-accidents-9780471290773","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
