It carried forward the work on energy storage, solar, and electric vehicle charging, and reorganized several articles on power and communications. The spiral binding lets the book open flat on a desk or tailgate, which is why it is the binding most exam prep instructors recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNFPA 70, National Electrical Code, 2023 edition, complete text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral-bound (lay-flat) binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers wiring methods, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, branch circuits and feeders, special equipment and occupancies, and Chapter 9 tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJourneyman and master electrician candidates in states that test on the 2023 NEC, which at present is the majority. Electricians and contractors in jurisdictions enforcing the 2023 cycle, AHJ inspectors, and electrical engineers reviewing drawings against the adopted code. Apprenticeship programs mid-way through a 2023 curriculum will want students on this edition rather than 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 NEC has been published, but adoption takes time and many licensing boards will test on 2023 for a while yet. If your exam bulletin or your building department says 2023, this is the book, and the spiral binding is the practical choice for an open-book exam: it stays open to the table you are using and handles tabs and highlighting well. We stock the 2023 spiral alone here; the 2023 spiral paired with Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 is a separate listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich states use the 2023 NEC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdoption is set state by state and sometimes city by city.
