Product Description
Five sets of the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2023 in spiral-bound format paired with Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 edition, the codebook-and-pocket-guide combination electricians rely on, packed as one 5-pack for contractors and training programs.
The spiral-bound 2023 NEC from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) carries the full code in a coil binding that opens flat and stays put. Ugly’s Electrical References 2023, written by Charles R. Miller and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning, is the shirt-pocket companion with conductor ampacity and conduit-fill tables, motor full-load currents, box-fill, bending formulas, and the Ohm’s law wheel, all keyed to the 2023 code. Most working electricians carry both; this pack supplies five of each.
What’s included
- 5 × NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, 2023 edition, spiral-bound, NFPA, ISBN-13 9781455929375
- 5 × Ugly’s Electrical References, 2023 edition, spiral-bound pocket reference, Jones & Bartlett Learning, ISBN-13 9781284275919
- Packed together in one reinforced carton
Who it’s for
Electrical contractors issuing references to new hires, apprenticeship programs that pair the codebook with Ugly’s in their first-year curriculum, exam-prep classes for journeyman and master electrician licenses based on the 2023 NEC, and industrial maintenance crews that want a calculation reference on every cart.
Why this set
The 2023 NEC reorganized the code and consolidated definitions in Article 100, which changed where things live compared to 2020. The spiral binding is the field favorite because it lies open on a panel cover or a tailgate. Ugly’s saves the trips to Chapter 9 tables and does the voltage-drop math for you. Buying five pairs from one source avoids mixing Ugly’s editions with codebook years.
Frequently asked questions
Does this 5-pack include tabs?
No. This bundle is the spiral-bound 2023 NEC and Ugly’s 2023 only. A version of this pack with EZ Tabs is listed separately.
Is Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 matched to the 2023 NEC?
Yes. The 2023 edition of Ugly’s was revised to reflect the 2023 code, including the renumbered article references.
Why choose the spiral-bound NEC over softbound?
The spiral lays flat and survives field use better, at the cost of slightly more bulk. Content is identical to the softbound.
