Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity
Understand the Theory and Application of Electrical Concepts

By Stephen L. Herman - Fourth Edition

Understanding the theory and application of electrical concepts is necessary for a successful career in the electrical field specifically in industrial maintenance and installation, and this newly revised, full color text delivers!

Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity, Fourth Edition trains aspiring electricians by blending concepts relating to electrical theory with practical 'how to' information that prepares readers for situations commonly encountered on the job.

This revision retains all the hallmarks of our market-leading prior editions, but displays enhancements such as more practical application problems. Topics span the major aspects of the electrical field including direct and alternating current circuits, basic theory, transformers, generators, and motors.

This new edition has been organized so that all relevant information is located within a given chapter which allows for flexibility to access and cover topics in any order making this text an indispensable resource.

Features:

• Comprehensive text is organized so that each chapter covers a different topic making it easy to comprehend as well teach
• Extensive use of color illustrations and numerous examples bring electrical theory and applications to life
• Covers a vast spectrum of electrical topics including three-phase power, both single-phase and three-phase transformers, and single-phase and three-phase motor
• Math concepts are limited to basic algebra and trigonometry and are logically organized to facilitate learning
