âIf you are responsible for delivering power, or if you just want to know whatâs going on beneath your feet, read these pages; ground your circuit as Stockin suggests, and you can close the master switch with confidence.â âBill Nye, âThe Science Guyâ

âDavid Stockinâs book develops a clear understanding of Code requirements through extensive use of illustrations and clear text.â âDavid Brender, P.E., Code-Making Panel NO. 5 member

âStockin adds his own experiences to the fundamentals of NEC 250, allowing readers to visualize practical applications of routine rules in a new and novel way.â âTravis Lindsey

McGraw-Hillâs National Electrical Code 2014 Grounding and Earthing Handbook fully addresses the above-grade grounding and below-grade earthing issues related to Article 250 of the 2014 National Electrical Code. This practical guide features in-depth discussions of each of the Codeâs requirements, section by section, along with clear explanations and real-world examples.

For ease of reference, a separate chapter calls out all of the changes introduced to Article 250 of the 2014 NEC. Information on the Canadian Electrical Code is also provided.
