Electrical Studies for Trades, 5th edition by Stephen Herman book
Electrical Studies for Trades, 5th Edition is written for technicians who are not electricians but who must have a practical working knowledge of electricity in their chosen field. The 5th edition of Electrical Studies for Trades is the most comprehensive revision of the text since it was first published in 1997.
This text assumes the students have no knowledge of electricity. Electrical Studies for Trades, 5th Edition begins with atomic structure and basic electricity. The text progresses through Ohm’s Law calculations and series, parallel, and combination circuits. These concepts are presented in an easy to-follow, step-by-step procedure. The math level is kept to basic algebra and trigonometry. it is not the intent of this text to present electricity from a purely mathematical standpoint, but rather to explain it in an easy-to-read, straightforward manner using examples and illustration.
Electrical Studies for Trades, 5th Edition includes concepts of inductance and capacitance in alternating current circuits. Both single-phase and three-phase power systems are covered. Some of the electrical machines discussed in the text are transformers, three-phase motors, and single-phase motors. Common measuring instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters, and ohmmeters are covered. The text also includes information on oscilloscopes because there are many circuits that require the use of an oscilloscope in troubleshooting. Electrical Studies for Trades, 5th Edition provides information on basic wiring practices such as connection of electrical outlets and switch connections. detailed explanations for the connection of single-pole, three way, and four-way switches are presented in an easy-to-follow step-by-step procedure.
The text includes information on ground fault interrupters, arc fault interrupters, light dimmers, and chime circuits. The final unit includes information on motor control schematics and wiring diagrams
