Updated to reference the
2008
National Electrical Code, this edition of Electrical Wiring
Industrial guides readers step-by-step through the wiring of an
entire industrial building, making this an ideal resource for anyone
who will work in the industrial electricity industry.
With a practical, straightforward
approach, the book begins by covering the tasks and responsibilities
that face today's professional industrial electricians, including:
installation of electrical service, power and lighting; special new
construction systems; changeovers from old systems; planning for
growth and increased capacity; and periodic maintenance procedures.
Specific references to the
2008
National Electrical Code throughout the book shows readers how to
incorporate codes and principles into everyday practice and
procedures.
A complete set of
industrial building plans is also included, offering
opportunities for hands-on practice in interpreting and applying Code
requirements to sitework, feeder bus systems, panelboards, fiber
optics, harmonics, hazardous locations, and more.
Features:
- New chapter on basic motor control
- New chapter on developing a program for a PLC
- New, updated photographs, diagrams, and
illustrations add clarity to explanations of critical concepts
- Updated examples depict the application of
2008 NEC requirements to power distribution, conductor sizing, motor
connection, power factor correction, plus lighting requirements
- Math concepts are clearly explained, and kept
at a basic level to provide precisely the skills needed to succeed
on the job without overwhelming readers with complicated concepts
