With the information in this book you can take your skill in working with electrical systems to a new level. Projects include: adding a stand-alone, direct-current circuit powered by the sun; installing an automatic standby power system; replacing a main service panel; grounding and bonding your electrical system; installing a radiant flooring system; and working with 240-volt and three-phase power. Wire Like A Pro Wiring is never easy, but if you own an old house or want to rewire a kitchen or new addition, there s a good chance you ll need a little extra instruction to get the job done. That s where Advanced Home Wiring comes in. Hiring a professional to handle your total wiring needs often costs a few thousand dollars or more; with Advanced Home Wiring, you ll keep your attention on your project and not on your pocket book. In this updated 3rd edition, you ll find an all-new troubleshooting guide that helps you find safe solutions for when your wires get crossed. We ll teach you how to upgrade a main service panel from 100 to 200 amps, and show you firsthand how to rewire your dream kitchen (although we can t help you with the cost of a six-burner stainless steel range and granite island unit.) Other projects that are tailor-made for more seasoned DIYers include: DC solar circuits, updating grounding and bonding for your electrical system, and using diagnostic wiring tools.
