Description
NFPA 70 National Electrical Code Handbook 2023 with Tabs + Ugly’s Electrical References 2023 Combo
This combo pairs the NEC Handbook with Ugly’s 2023: the 2023 National Electrical Code Handbook in hardcover with self-adhesive index tabs, and Charles R. Miller’s spiral-bound field reference. Both books follow the 2023 code cycle.
The handbook explains what each rule is for. Ugly’s gives you the formulas and tables once you know.
NEC Handbook 2023, hardcover with tabs
The handbook prints the full 2023 National Electrical Code with NFPA commentary beside it, so the reasoning behind each requirement is on the same page. Illustrations show how rules play out in actual installations across residential, commercial and industrial work. Self-adhesive index tabs come with the book for faster lookup during study or plan review.
Ugly’s Electrical References 2023
Ugly’s covers mathematical formulas, NEMA wiring configurations, conduit bending, ampacity and conduit fill, transformer and control circuit wiring diagrams and conversion tables. The 2023 edition expands its coverage of full-load currents for three-phase transformers, conductor fill in EMT trade sizes 5 and 6, equipment grounding conductors and general lighting loads for non-dwelling occupancies.
Edition note
NFPA now lists a 2026 edition of NFPA 70. This set is built around the 2023 NEC, so check that your jurisdiction or program still uses it.
