Residential Construction Academy: Electrical Principles

First Edition
Author: Stephen L. Herman

Part of the Residential Construction Academy series, Electrical Principles bridges the gap between theory books that include topics that electricians do not need to know (e.g., resonance and devices) and books for electricians that try to cover all the theory in one chapter.

Instead, through the use of a lively writing style and frequent examples, Stephen Herman expands on the important topics that residential electricians need, so that students have time to fully grasp the concepts they’ll need on the job. This text focuses on the theory that a residential wireman needs and it includes important safety and OSHA information. Create a direct link between your education/training program and the construction industry!

For the first time, textbooks are available for many of the residential crafts – including carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and facilities maintenance – that are based on national standards developed by the nation's leading builders and remodelers. The result of a strategic partnership between the Home Builders Institute (HBI) of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)and Delmar Learning, this new series from the Residential Construction Academy is the perfect way to introduce people of all ages to the building trades while guiding them to development of essential workplace skills.

Ideal for use in vocational programs, workforce development programs, professional associations, and trade unions, all materials are based on national standards set by the construction industry. As a result, they are sure to develop a workforce that is skilled, knowledgeable, and able to meet the needs of the contractors who are hiring trades people today and well into the future.

Features:

• examples are used extensively throughout the text to help students master the material

• a Glossary of Terms opens each chapter to give students easy access to terminology when they need it
• additional pedagogical features—chapter overviews, objectives, summary, practice problems, and review questions—support the text material
