Jump-start your knowledge of low
voltage systems, associated devices, and the methods and terminology
of the industry!
This introductory, all-inclusive
guide combines the basic elements of various low voltage systems
into a single source, so that readers gain a concrete understanding
of the operation of individual systems - including theory of
operation - as well as how they integrate.
Information pertaining to
devices, connection and cabling, and the National Electrical Code®
are all thoroughly examined, outfitting users with an appreciation
for the operation of such systems, as well as the language and
terminology of the industry.
Readers will gain valuable
insight into the purpose and use of the Code®, the treatment of
devices and their relationship to the entire system, conductors and
cabling, and more.
Easy-to-read content that is
written especially for industry novices employs a thoughtful use of
layman's terms so that difficult concepts and topics will be swiftly
grasped.
Features:
- issues such as voltage drop, characteristic
impedance, attenuation, and insulation are discussed in depth,
promoting a knowledge of the major issues involved in specifying
the right type of cable for a job
- a detailed discussion of the basics of
computer networking examines the levels of communication and
protocols necessary for communicating across a network
- readers will gain an understanding of the
NEC® and associated terminology that will enable them to flow
through the pages of any industry magazine or manufacture's guide
relating to such topics
- coverage assumes a fundamental
understanding of the basic laws, components, and circuits of AC/DC
electricity
