practical books

[rasell]

Does anyone know of any good electrical books covering the more practical side of things (the building side) such as how to rewire a house, install SWA, with pictures etc.

Most of the books cover the theoretical side, but there don't seem to be many on the practical.

Electrical Installations Level 2 2330 Technical Certificate Student Book - Revised edition: Level 2 Student Book by Nigel Harman


Best book you can get there is also level 1 and 3 if needed but this got me and my class mates through college a breeze.

I've managed to order a copy but there are not many out there, amazon said it was not available, on a worldwide second hand store with 80 million books it came up with one or two, I was not sure if it was the same copy. So I've ordered it!

Thanks

Wiring & Lighting - Mike Lawrence

Its quite a good old (pub 1991) book with illustrations using OLD Wiring colours (I've got a copy from years back) but remember we are 17th Ediiton, new colours, new regulations.

Just remember that it is written as a DIY guide and not the REGS Book but there are however some good practical methods that can be applied.
