By: Patrick S. Ouillette

Significant Changes is intended to familiarize students with the major changes contained in the 2008 National Electrical Code® and includes only the most significant revisions. Through the headings at the beginning of each Code change addressed in the textbook, students will easily identify the section affected by the change and the specific subject being discussed.

The “Significance” section contains information about the type of change and highlights its importance. The “Analysis” section includes an explanation to help students understand the revised language, its background, and the logic of the change.

Graphics, photographs, examples, and calculations are used to illustrate the change and to enhance learning. The “Summary” section is a brief statement of the change. Where a code change involves new or updated technology, pertinent information is included under the “Technical Update” section.

The application questions within the textbook are designed to assist the student in applying the new code revisions in practice, and can be used by the instructor to assess comprehension.
