This book is not intended to take the place of the 17th Edition of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671); instead I hope that it will be used as a reference book alongside BS 7671. I have been involved in the construction industry all of my working life, primarily in the electrical side. When I left school and started my first work, I was 15 years old, at which time I was quite sure that I would never attend another lesson in my life.

To me, school was an absolute waste of time and I could not face the thought of spending another day sitting behind a desk. I am pretty sure that I was not the only person to feel like that, as I was more of a practical person and not at all academic. Back in the early 1960s, there was less emphasis on gaining a qualification than there is now, although of course it was desirable. Gaining a qualification would have required attending a technical college; so given my view of education, there was to be no qualification for me!

17th Edition Compliant – the rules and regulations explained. The advent of the New 17th Edition of the Wiring regulations brings with it new challenges for installers and manufacturers alike, one such challenge involves the much greater use of RCD’s within the electrical installation.
The 18 th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations became mandatory for electrical installation from 1st January 2019 and presents some new regulations for the industry from the changes. These provide further safety measures for installers to provide for their customers as well as a focus on energy efficiency. Electrium have put together a host of content that will give you insight on the latest.

I took a job as an electrician ’ s labourer working for a small contracting firm which was involved in all types of electrical contracting and repair. I was incredibly lucky as the firm was run by two lovely brothers, Tony and Ron Pointing, who took me under their wing, showed an unbelievable amount of patience and gave me an incredible apprenticeship. This book is dedicated to them, as without them, I would probably still be a labourer. Twenty -five years after I left school I decided that it may be a good idea to attend an electrical course at Crawley College to see if I could gain an electrical qualification.

Some time ago, when I wrote a book called A Practical Guide to Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations , I tried to keep it as simple as possible and to write it in a way which I would have liked to have been taught. The practical side of the course was very easy for me, as it was what I had been doing for the last 25 years. Unfortunately, the theory side of the course was a completely different kettle of fish, and I could not begin to put into words how difficult I found it all.

To help me with my studies, I bought countless books which I read from cover to cover, generally several times. Unfortunately, many of these books were still too complex for me to fully understand, but I persevered and gained the required qualifications. I remember thinking at the time that if I found the course difficult, what must it be like for younger students who had virtually no practical experience? After I qualified, I was asked to do a bit of part-time teaching at a college and was initially a bit apprehensive about it but decided to give it a try. Right from the first day, everything seemed to go pretty well and I have been teaching ever since.

I very quickly learnt that many students who wanted to become electricians were just like me and found the academic side of the course very difficult. Because of this, I took a different approach and started writing lessons in my own words instead of using the usual text books, which although they were very good, did not really suit my way of learning.

PREFACE to Guide to the Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke:

This Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book discusses the requirements of BS 7671: 2008, also known as the IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition, published during January 2008.

The aim of the guide is to provide an explanation of the theory and reasons behind the Regulations, their meaning and the intent of their drafting.

The Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book provides advice and guidance, demystifying the ‘requirements’ wherever possible.

Practical and original solutions have been provided, which are often not found in other industry guidance.

The guide is a valuable resource for all users of BS 7671 including apprentices, electricians who perhaps want to ‘dig a bit deeper’ into the background of the Regulations, together with electrical technicians, installation engineers and design engineers.

Most individuals who have any involvement with BS 7671 will find the Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book of considerable help and benefit in their everyday work.

To derive use and benefit from the Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book it is assumed that readers have knowledge of electrical installation engineering to a basic level.

However, ‘defined scope’ installers and those at similar levels will also gain from working through the Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book thanks to its clear diagrams.

Given these prerequisites, the Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book can be used as a learning text for the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations as long as readers have a copy of the Standard itself.

Indeed, a copy of BS 7671: 2008 is required as a reference document when using this Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book, and readers should at least familiarize themselves with the terminology and definitions used in the basic Standard.

Guide to the Wiring Regulations is intended to be read on a chapter-by-chapter basis by those involved at the level of designing and constructing installations.

This is something that is not easy to achieve with Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke books on this subject as accessing the basic Standard itself can be quite daunting and heavy going

A particular emphasis or expansion has been made to those subjects that are often confused by readers of BS 7671.

In this respect the text does not wander off to discuss ancillary subjects; the text stays focused on providing an understanding of those concepts demanded of BS 7671 so that design and installation decisions can be made by readers.

The Guide to the Wiring Regulations 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations by Darrell Locke book’s coverage is comprehensive, and all Parts of the Regulations have been addressed within the topic lead chapters.

Design aspects have been included as they are integral to installations. Often, individuals or organizations consider themselves to be either pure designers or pure installers.

However, even by the act of an ‘installer’ in selecting equipment that was unspecified by the designer, e.g. selecting cables or other equipment, an element of design is being carried out.

The same concept is true of domestic installers who select ‘standard designs’ but perhaps feel that they do not design.

These individuals are considered to be designers even where the design is not calculated for each installation.

The adoption of a ‘standard design’ or a ‘standard cable size’ by the installer is in fact desi
