Product Description
This set pairs the spiral-bound NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2023 with Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 Edition, the code book and the pocket field guide most electricians carry together, for 2023-cycle exams and daily work.
The 2023 NEC (National Electrical Code) is the edition currently enforced across much of the United States and the basis for most state licensing exams today. Ugly’s Electrical References, by Charles R. Miller and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning, condenses the formulas, conductor and conduit tables, motor data, bending calculations, and the Ohm’s law wheel into a spiral pocket book keyed to the 2023 code. One is the law; the other is how you apply it fast.
What's included
- NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, 2023 edition, spiral-bound, published by NFPA (ISBN-13 9781455929375)
- Ugly’s Electrical References, 2023 Edition, spiral pocket reference, Jones & Bartlett Learning (ISBN-13 9781284275919)
Who it's for
Journeyman and master electrician exam candidates in states testing on the 2023 NEC, first-year apprentices who need both books for class, and working electricians and contractors in jurisdictions that enforce 2023. Maintenance electricians and industrial technicians who rarely open the full code but use Ugly’s daily get both references at once.
Why this set
Buying the two together saves a second order and ensures the editions match: a 2023 Ugly’s cites 2023 tables and article numbers, so the two books agree when you cross-check a conductor ampacity or box fill. The spiral NEC lays flat for exam use, and Ugly’s rides in a shirt pocket. If you want tabs for the code book, they are not included in this set; our 2026 set adds them, and tab sets for 2023 are sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 match the 2023 NEC?
Yes. The 2023 edition of Ugly’s is updated to the 2023 National Electrical Code tables and references.
Can I use Ugly’s in a journeyman exam?
Some states allow it as an approved reference and some do not. Check your exam candidate bulletin for the approved book list.
Are index tabs included in this set?
No. This set is the spiral NEC and Ugly’s only. Tab sets for the 2023 NEC are available separately.
