New book provides essential information on installation of cables and equipment

The IEE, a registered trademark of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), has published new guidance for electricians.

Guidance Note 1 – Selection and Erection of Equipment enlarges upon and simplifies relevant requirements of BS 7671:2008.

The guidance book includes detailed coverage of external influences and factors affecting the installation of cables and equipment.

It discusses various types of protective devices in easy-to-read text and includes illustrations in full colour.

Nick Canty, IET publishing director, said: “The book provides essential information in a convenient, easy to use format and is essential for all electricians, electrical contractors and their managers, installation designers, and students in further education and professional training.â€

The book has been updated to align with the 17th edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations and, for the first time, is published in full colour.
