The NFPA 70®,  National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Handbook, is the most practical and powerful resource today for electrical design and installation. You get the complete text of the latest NEC plus a range of features providing insights and guidance on its application.

The new National Electrical Code is revised and expanded to stay in sync with industry practices, emerging trends, and the development and introduction of technologies. The document is completely reorganized for improved ease of use and features an expanded Article 100 that consolidates all the code's defined terms in one place to help you quickly locate critical NEC content. Whether you are working with Class 4 fault-managed circuits or electrical systems operating over 1000 volts ac/1500 volts dc, you need the 2023 edition of the NEC to help you stay compliant.

Based on the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC), the National Electrical Code Handbook clarifies concepts for a better understanding of the Code. It's a powerful communication tool that helps you explain the NEC to clients and others who might not have professional electrical training.
