the Complete Home Electrical Bible: [7 in 1] Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Understanding Your Home's Wiring - Read Panel, Map Every Circuit, ... Know Exactly Which Jobs Need a Licensed Elect

You are responsible for a system you have never been taught to read.Home wiring books come in two useless kinds: code manuals written for inspectors, and cheerful DIY guides that walk you through work most homeowners should not do. This is deliberately the third thing.Seven self-contained books in one volume: 174 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, 70 chapters. You end with a written survey of your own house that makes every future electrician's visit shorter. It teaches understanding, surveying and testing - and says plainly where the professional line sits.What's inside- Book 1 - Safety and where the line is - the findings that mean stop rather than investigate- Book 2 - How a home circuit works - four ideas that explain every fault in the volume- Book 3 - Reading your panel - a circuit survey that is actually correct, in one afternoon- Book 4 - Breakers and trips - overload, short circuit and ground fault are three different messages- Book 5 - Outlets, switches and fixtures - open grounds and reversed polarity are invisible and common- Book 6 - GFCI, AFCI and grounding - test the devices that almost nobody ever tests- Book 7 - Describing faults and hiring well - turn a diagnostic visit into a repair visitThis volume will not teach you to alter circuits, and says so on page one. It will teach you to understand the system you own and buy work well.Not a substitute for a licensed electrician. Check your own jurisdiction's rules before any work.
