Electrical Studies for Trades
New Page 1Description:Electrical Studies for Trades is ideal for current and future service technicians in fields such as air conditioning and refrigeration, construction, and facilities management who require practical knowledge of electricity. This book begins with an overview of basic electricity concepts rather than introducing complex mathematical calculations. From this starting point, readers proceed directly to "must-know" information, including how to determine wire sizes and make a variety of common switch connections. Different types of electrical power panels are also examined in detail. Discussion of general wiring practices and circuit protectors, as well as an introduction to transformers and three-phase and single-phase motors, rounds out the comprehensive coverage. Because each chapter is an independent, stand-alone unit, information presented in this book can be easily integrated into any professional industrial electricity training program or academic curricula.Benefits: An all-new chapter on motor control schematics and wiring diagrams has been added. Coverage of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters and light dimmer control switches has been expanded. Examples that mirror the types of situations technicians face in the field are used throughout to reinforce the practical, applied approach to electricity fundamentals. Measurement instruments commonly used in the field are identified and explained to assist readers in using them and interpreting results. Stand-alone units allow readers to gain an overall understanding of electricity "basics" while focusing their attention on topics that relate to particular trades Table of Contents:Preface Acknowledgements.

Description:
Electrical Studies for Trades is ideal for current and future service
technicians in fields such as air conditioning and refrigeration, construction,
and facilities management who require practical knowledge of electricity. This
book begins with an overview of basic electricity concepts rather than
introducing complex mathematical calculations. From this starting point, readers
proceed directly to "must-know" information, including how to determine wire
sizes and make a variety of common switch connections. Different types of
electrical power panels are also examined in detail. Discussion of general
wiring practices and circuit protectors, as well as an introduction to
transformers and three-phase and single-phase motors, rounds out the
comprehensive coverage. Because each chapter is an independent, stand-alone
unit, information presented in this book can be easily integrated into any
professional industrial electricity training program or academic curricula.
Benefits:
An all-new chapter on motor control schematics and wiring diagrams has been
added.
Coverage of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters and light dimmer control
switches has been expanded.
Examples that mirror the types of situations technicians face in the field are
used throughout to reinforce the practical, applied approach to electricity
fundamentals.
Measurement instruments commonly used in the field are identified and
explained to assist readers in using them and interpreting results.
Stand-alone units allow readers to gain an overall understanding of
