Electricity 2
Devices, Circuits and Materials

Ninth Edition
Thomas Kubala

Electricity 2: Devices, Circuits and Materials, 9th Edition acquaints newcomers to the field with various types of alternating current circuits, while developing a solid understanding of the concepts of power, power factor, and power factor correction.

This book, completely updated to the 2008 National Electrical Code®, explores alternating current principles and concepts of inductive reactance, capacitive reactance, and impedance.

Sample problems and solutions at the end of each unit provide a direct route to understanding as readers apply key electrical principles in realistic troubleshooting situations

Features:

• enhancements to this edition include the latest terminology and a modernized art program featuring current photographs of electrical equipment
• modern applications of power installations help prepare readers for work in the field
• pragmatic troubleshooting methods are explored to help develop critical thinking skills
