Wiring Simplified starts with the basics - standards, codes, sand safety practices - and then goes on to instructions for projects ranging from repairing a table lamp to wiring a whole house. With a focus on safety, the text and detailed drawings illustrate how to measure electricity, select and connect wires, protect circuits, ground for safety, install the service entrance, choose motors based on the requirements of the job, modernize old wiring, wire detached garages and outbuildings, troubleshoot and make repairs, wire farms, and wire electrical devices - receptacles and different types of switches and outlet boxes.
