Avec la collection'Guide Pratique', le C5TB offre aux professionnels du bâtiment une lecture plus facile des règles techniques de construction. Recueils de détails d'exécution présentant un large éventail de situations possibles de mise en oeuvre, ces guides ne remplacent pas les textes de référence, qu'ils soient réglementaires (lois, décrets, arrêtés...), normatifs (normes, DTU ou règles de calcul) ou codificatifs (Avis Techniques, CPT...) mais en constituent un complément indispensable. Ce guide commente et illustre la partie relative aux logements de la norme NF C15-100 et du guide UTEC15-900. Il aborde les éléments de choix des matériels et détaille les règles concernant les locaux d'habitation (y compris l'espace technique électrique du logement, les salles d'eau et autres locaux à risques particuliers) et les installations électriques des parties communes des locaux d'habitation (commande et protection des installations, éclairage, mise à la terre, liaisons équipotentielles). Les clés essentielles d'installation des réseaux de communication (télévision, VDI, etc.) sont traitées sous l'angle de la cohabitation entre circuits de puissance et circuits de communication. Une part importante du guide est consacrée aux systèmes de protection contre la foudre. Cette 3e édition a été réalisée par Dominique Serre, membre de la commission U 15 de l'AFNOR depuis 1979 dont il a été le président de 2001 à 2012. Elle comporte les modifications engendrées par l'amendement 5 de la NF C15-100 : nouvelles définitions des volumes de sécurité dans les salles d'eau, nouvelles règles pour la protection par 00R 30mA, le nombre de PC par circuit et la protection des circuits uniquement par disjoncteur. Ce guide s'adresse à tous les professionnels confrontés à la thématique électricité : électriciens mais aussi maîtres d'ouvrage, architectes, BET, bureaux de contrôle, entreprises, etc.

This 44th edition—part of a series continuously published for more than 80 years and based on the 2014 National Electrical Code—is a handy instruction manual that has been used by generations of readers who learn the “why” as well as the “how-to” of wiring practices. Encouraging readers to tackle jobs small and large, the guide covers everything from repairing a table lamp to wiring a whole house. After introducing the basics—standards, codes, safety practices, and an overview of how electricity is measured and delivered—chapters show how to design a layout for lights, switches, and receptacles; run a line from a utility pole; install wires, circuits, and grounds; and handle special projects such as replacing old wiring and wiring detached garages and accessory buildings. The do-it-yourselfer appreciates the detailed instructions and drawings, the homeowner working with a contractor gains insight into how to communicate with the professional about the problems to be solved, and students and teachers appreciate the range and depth of the subject matter and the accompanying student workbook.

Since the 1970s, concerns about health hazards associated with electric and magnetic fields from power lines and from workplace, school, and household use of electricity have led to many studies and continued controversy about whether adverse health effects occur. In the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-486), Congress authorized a focused national research program to study the possible health effects of exposure to low-intensity, 60-hertz electric and magnetic fields. In response to this legislation and at the request of the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Research Council established a committee under the Board on Radiation Effects Research (BRER) in the Commission on Life Sciences (CLS) to aid in its review of the power-frequency magnetic field research activities completed under the Electric and Magnetic Fields Research and Public Information Dissemination (EMF-RAPID) program that was authorized by the Energy Policy Act. The Research Council's Committee to Review the Research Activities Completed Under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) was asked to review the EMF-RAPID program implemented by DOE and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and research strategies suggested by other federal and nonfederal groups.

Electrical Installations and Regulations focuses on the regulations that apply to electrical installations and the reasons for them. Topics covered range from electrical science to alternating and direct current supplies, as well as equipment for providing protection against excess current. Cables, wiring systems, and final subcircuits are also considered, along with earthing, discharge lighting, and testing and inspection. Comprised of 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of electrical installation work, traits of a good electrician, and the regulations governing installations. The reader is then introduced to electrical science, with emphasis on the theory of electricity; the difference between direct current and alternating current; and the mains equipment that provide protection against excess current such as fuses and circuit breakers. Subsequent chapters focus on various types of cables; wiring systems and the regulations governing them; earthing and protection of the earthing system; and machine installation, protection, and control. Secondary batteries and systems with extra-low voltage are also described. This monograph will be of interest to electricians, electrical engineers, and students of electrical engineering courses.
