The best price I've found for the handbook is at Barnes & Noble. If you go into the store you have to ask for the internet price. Also at least at my store they had it behind the counter in case you go looking for it. Brad On Wed, Jan 8, 2020 at 3:26 PM Jason Szumlanski <

[RE-wrenches] NEC in PDF format not availaible for 2020

Friends: I find the PDF version best for my uses. A portable, searchable, bookmark-able and cut and paste-able resource is essential for my work flow. I don’t think the NFPA is considering the needs of the field engineer when eliminating the PDF version. Maybe there are some members of

I have used PDF versions of the previous 3 releases of the NEC extensively.On my laptops, telephone and tablet, when responding to questions in the field, from installers, and other inspectors. It takes up no more space when I travel, and I can do it discretely in a class to confirm or question

I've heard from multiple sources and confirmed myself that you can't get the portable pdf of the NEC starting with the 2020 edition. The link that Lorenzo shared seems to indicate that older versions including 2017 edition are available in a digital format. [image: image.png] August Luminalt

Wrenches, I was told that the NEC 2020 will not be available as a file. You can only access on line, or via the book.  Has anyone confirmed this?  It seems pretty certain.   How many times is one out in the field and needs to reference the NEC?  Now to do so, you will need the book or a

Have you tried Hassan Taylor at SMA? Perhaps the default begin charging settings of 70% SOC may not be acceptable to the newer battery tech. Victron has inverters quite similar to the SMA line and their LiFe battery line along w/ their BMS, performs quite well. I have used LiFe but Im still
