John,
Thank you for the tip on BS 7671. Techstreet wants $215 for BS
7671:2001, which is a bit too much for my budget when the ampacity
tables are all that I am looking for. (I've already ordered over $1017
in engineering books and standards this week-- my mailman is going to
hate me, having to deliver 27 heavy books if all the orders go
through.) But I found a used copy of P. Cook's Commentary on BS
7671:1992 Requirements for Electrical Installations on Amazon.com for
$30 plus shipping, so I ordered it.
Do you know if there are any changes in the ampacity tables of BS 7671
between the 1992 and the 2001 editions?
Thanks!
