Mastering the theory and application of electrical concepts is necessary for a successful career in the electrical installation or industrial maintenance fields, and this newly revised, full color text delivers! Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity, 3E trains aspiring electricians by blending concepts relating to electrical theory with practical 'how to' information that prepares students for situations commonly encountered on the job.
Topics span the major aspects of the electrical field including atomic structure and basic electricity, direct and alternating current, basic circuit theory, three-phase circuits, single phase, transformers, generators, and motors. This revision retains all the hallmarks of our market-leading second edition, but displays enhancements such as new up-to-date photos, bonus learning features to advance student retention, and a new e-resource for instructors that takes the guesswork out of classroom preparation.
Features:
math concepts are limited to basic algebra and trigonometry and are logically organized so that students can master the basics before moving on to more advanced topics
all-new ?Why You Need to Know? boxed articles appear at the beginning of each unit and highlight the importance of critical topics presented in the main text
plenty of worked-out examples show students step-by-step how to approach problems like those typically faced by electricians, and new ?Practical Applications? features offer additional opportunities to practice newly learned skills
highlighted safety/caution material stresses safe work practices and draws attention to critical points deserving emphasis
all-new photographs depicting the latest electrical technologies appeal to visual learners and help to keep students current on industry changes
