Stay competitive and informed with expert NEC® support in the exclusive 2008 National Electrical Code® Handbook from NFPA®.

The most valuable reference for 2008 National Electrical Code users -- and for users of the 2010 California Electrical Code, which is based on the 2008 NEC -- provides the technical support required to comply efficiently, avoid violations, and keep electrical installations on track.

The NEC Handbook is a unique source of the Code text plus expert advice!

• Only NFPA's Handbook includes the full 2008 NEC text -- no other electrical reference has it!
• Expert commentary explains NEC rationale and offers practical, hands-on advice on how to comply -- including first-time coverage of new articles, explanations of new and revised rules, and clear examples of application.
• First-time commentary addresses new articles on topics such as Critical Operations Power Systems. Get expert advice on how to properly apply new NEC requirements for "hardened" wiring systems for facilities where continuity of operation is essential to public safety.
• More than 500 full-color graphics, diagrams, photos, tables, and charts illustrate concepts.
• Commentary is color-coded so it's easy to distinguish from mandatory NEC provisions.
