I am wondering if anyone could recommend a good reference book on Electrician installations such as for wireways, splices in wireways, busways, panelboards, etc. that might have illustrations of electrical installations that one might encounter out on the field. I am a junior engineer and I do not get to go out on the field much and sometimes it is difficult to visualize how certain electrical designs I work on are actually installed. Please advise.

Thanks

Pete
 
Sorry, I couldn't resist, but is an electrician installation a place where people go and install electricians?

Unfortunately, I don't have a book recommendation. I'm pretty green myself; I've installed and wired all sorts of things in the past few years but I've never had a single book that illustrated how to do it; I mean there's various books covering various facets of electrical installations, but most of the stuff we do we pick up from those that instruct us on the job. Lots of things become intuitive.

I did a Google image search for "electrical installations" and there's some pretty good photos out there (both what to do and what NOT to do). As far as getting out in the field, I think I speak for everyone when I say that every electrician I've met wishes that Engineers would do that more often :smile:
