Electrical Theory & Applications for HVACR

Turner L. Collins          Earl Delatte          Randy F. Petit, Sr.

With the majority of HVACR service calls being electrical in nature, it is important for technicians to have a solid understanding of electrical fundamentals allowing them to develop a systematic and methodical procedure for troubleshooting.

The Electrical Theory and Application for HVACR manual provides students and practicing technicians with the information and knowledge necessary to accurately diagnose and solve electrical system faults.

This manual is full of color illustrations and includes student worksheets. The spiral binding will allow students to tear out worksheets for grading by an instructor if used in a Training environment.

Main topics include: safety and hazard awareness, electrical fundamentals, circuits and components, motors, wiring diagrams, automated control systems, and troubleshooting.
