Need help in passing the
apprentice, journeyman, or master electrician's exam?
If you’re getting ready to take the electrician’s exam and
drowning in pages of tables, rules and exceptions, here’s the book
you need.
This is a book of questions and answers based on actual
electrician's exams over the last few years.
Almost a thousand multiple-choice questions -- exactly the type
you'll find on the exam -- cover every area of electrical
installation: electrical drawings, services and systems,
transformers, capacitors, distribution equipment, branch circuits,
feeders, calculations, measuring and testing, and more. It gives you
the correct answer, an explanation, and where to find it in the
latest NEC. Also tells how to apply for the test, how best to study,
and what to expect on examination day.
Includes a FREE CD-ROM with all
the questions in the book in interactive test-yourself software that
makes studying for the exam almost fun! Updated to the
2008 NEC. You will need a computer
with a CD-ROM drive running Microsoft Windows.
Each chapter of the book begins with a basic explanation of the
topic, followed by dozens of questions on that particular area of
electrical work. There are diagrams to aid you in understanding the
subject, and direct references to the latest National Electrical
Code sections or tables that apply to the questions. The chapters
cover practically all the subjects likely to be tested on the exam,
including:
Electrical Systems
Utilization Equipment
Electrical Calculations
Electrical Measuring and Testing
Branch Circuits and Feeders
Electrical Motors and Motor Controls
Electric Services
Special Occupancies
Distribution Equipment
Transformers and Capacitors
Read each question and try to pick the correct answer. Then look
to see if you were right. If not, review the NEC section cited and
make sure you understand why the given answer is correct.
Once you’ve been through the book and can answer all the questions,
it’s time to take the practice test included in the back. Take the
test as though it were the real one. Give yourself the allotted
time. Then grade yourself. The answer page is just before the index.
Any questions you missed – go back to the chapter on that subject
and review it again.
New in this Edition: A CD-ROM with all the questions in the book, in
an interactive format with the answers and any pertinent code
sections popping up with a mouse click. Let your computer be your
teacher and make studying for the exam fun. You can even take the
practice test on your computer, and let it grade you. This new way
to study is far easier than forcing yourself to stare at a book for
hours on end.
