INDUSTRIAL
ELECTRICITY, 8E is the ideal book to help
electrical students, as well as maintenance technicians, master the
fundamentals of electrical theory as they pertain to the field of
industrial electricity.
This fully updated eighth edition contains
advanced information on electrical theory and presents all material
in a clear, updated, and logical manner.
Coverage begins with electrical symbols and
drawings, current voltage, resistance, and power. Subsequent
chapters cover Ohm's Law, series, parallel, combination circuits,
and resistive and reactive circuits.
Advanced material, including rotating
machinery, motor controls, transformers, electronic drives, and PLCs
are also thoroughly discussed. In addition to the theory, the book
also covers installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
This eighth edition contains over eight
hundred and fifty updated illustrations and photos that will
help students and maintenance technicians master the fundamentals.
Features:
-
NEW!
Includes new photos and drawing and over eight
hundred and fifty updated illustrations and photos
that will help clarify the fundamentals of
electrical theory.
-
NEW!
Updated coverage on PLCs and motors.
- Adds new chapters on DC
Electronic Variable Speed Drives and AC/Inverter
Electronic Variable Speed Drives and greatly expands
the coverage of Industrial Electronics.
- Includes comprehensive
coverage that examines test equipment, wiring
methods, and conductor types and sizes.
- Aids readers in understanding
and learning the material by using a simple,
logical, and practical approach to the subject
matter.
- Includes new and updated
manufacturer's information sheets relating to
equipment found in the field that offer apprentices
a "real world" flavor.
