Delmar's
Standard Textbook
of Electricity
Fourth Edition
Stephen L. Herman
Understanding the theory and application of
electrical concepts is necessary for a successful career in the
electrical field specifically in industrial maintenance and
installation, and this newly revised, full color text delivers!
Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity,
Fourth Edition trains aspiring electricians by blending concepts
relating to electrical theory with practical 'how to' information
that prepares readers for situations commonly encountered on the
job.
This revision retains all the hallmarks of our
market-leading prior editions, but displays enhancements such as
more practical application problems. Topics span the major aspects
of the electrical field including direct and alternating current
circuits, basic theory, transformers, generators, and motors.
This new edition has been organized so that
all relevant information is located within a given chapter which
allows for flexibility to access and cover topics in any order
making this text an indispensable resource
Features:
- Comprehensive text is organized so that
each chapter covers a different topic making it easy to
comprehend as well teach
- Extensive use of color illustrations and
numerous examples bring electrical theory and applications to
life
- Covers a vast spectrum of electrical
topics including three-phase power, both single-phase and
three-phase transformers, and single-phase and three-phase motor
- Math concepts are limited to basic
algebra and trigonometry and are logically organized to
facilitate learning
