The Author John Traister has more than thirty years in the construction business to his credit. Licensed as a master electrician in Virginia, he's done both electrical design and installation on a broad spectrum of commercial and residential projects. He was a principal in Engineering Associates, Ltd., where his responsibilities included supervising other electrical designers and keeping them abreast of changes in the National Electrical Code. It was a logical next step to bring his skills and experience together as a writer of technical manuals. He has shared his knowledge of commercial electrical design and installation and the NEC with an ever-widening audience, in almost 100 technical books and nearly 300 articles published in a mix of trade journals and nationally-distributed publications. |    Calculated Industries ElectriCalc Pro 5070 - Updateable National Electrical Code Calculator   Residential Wiring to the 2008 NEC | |
