2008 Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding
The Premiere Book On Electrical Grounding and Bonding, Published by IEAI

10th Edition By International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI)

Why get your information piecemeal, when you can see design, engineering, installation and enforcement perspectives dovetail together in this one book? Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding is the only book on the market that helps you see all the perspectives before you do the job.

Meticulously updated to the 2008 National Electrical Code, this 10th edition authoritatively reviews each topic from the perspectives of the enforcers. That’s like having a free pass handed to you.

The work accomplished by the NEC Grounding and Bonding Task Group resulted in language that is more prescriptive and a streamlined approach to application and terminology. Another revision relates to the technical requirements for concrete-encase electrodes, where a vertically positioned concrete-encased electrode can be considered. The grounding and bonding requirements for second buildings or structures supplied from another building by feeders and branch-circuits have been revised. An intersystem bonding termination means that includes provisions for connecting at least three grounding or bonding conductors required for communications systems by chapter 8 is required.

Grounding and bonding requirements for permanently installed generators are clarified. In accordance with IAEI’s hallmark of systematic explanations, detailed illustrations and photos of actual installations enhance each topic. Seldom do design, engineering, installation and enforcement perspectives come together in one book, especially on the controversial topics of grounding and bonding. This, however, is exactly what IAEI has achieved with this edition of Soares Book on Grounding and Bonding.
