Alternating Current Fundamentals

DE-1401899447
$105.95

AC Theory - NJATC
This book begins where DC Theory leaves off, building on that foundation of learning the fundamentals. Beginning with a review of the methods and techniques of DC theory, this book adds the concepts of capacitance and inductance as they relate to alternating current (AC) theory and features a host of circuit analysis tools that will build on concepts already learned. An introduction to vectors and complex numbers is followed by an immersion into AC concepts as they compare to DC theory. Polyphase circuits, AC and DC generators, and inductance and capacitance in AC circuits are subsequently explored.

Alternating Current Fundamentals

DE-1401899447
$105.95

Alternating Current Fundamentals
An industrial standard for more than 30 years!
Alternating Current Fundamentals has been updated once again to furnish readers with the most comprehensive information available on AC essentials. Topics are thoughtfully arranged to build knowledge, progressing from basic principles such as the differences between peak, rms, and average values to more complex coverage of circuits containing resistance, inductance, and capacitance.

DC Theory - NJATC

DE-1401856861
$83.00

DC Theory - NJATC
Knowledge of fundamentals is critical to the success of a modern electrical technician, and this book explores direct current (DC) principles and methods as well as the underlying theories and concepts needed for a strong foundation in electrical technology. Readers are introduced to the fundamentals of electricity and DC circuits, including how properties of materials are categorized into conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. In-depth coverage of Ohm’s law and its relation to voltage, current, resistance

Direct Current Fundamentals

DE-1418000450
$109.95

Direct Current Fundamentals, 7E
By far the best and most reliable selection for comprehensive DC theories and applications. This comprehensive book on DC information includes many examples of basic DC circuits and equipment providing users with the fundamental concepts of DC electricity and magnetism, in preparation for further studies in electricity and electronics.
Enhancements include updated drawings and photographs that better assist readers in understanding such essential concepts as how to distinguish between digital and analog meters, and solid state control for DC motors.

Electronics for Electricians

DE-1418028738
$92.95

Electronics for Electricians
is written for apprentices and readers preparing for work in industrial settings. Components and circuits are explained in a clear-cut manner throughout the book, with emphasis on describing how they work, what they do, how to use them in a working circuit, and how to test them. In the process, it offers its readers a more practical and relevant path to understanding how electronics theory is applied in the electrical field.

Introduction to Low Voltage Systems

DE-140185656X
$96.95

Low Voltage Systems (Introduction to)
Jump-start your knowledge of low voltage systems, associated devices, and the methods and terminology of the industry! This introductory, all-inclusive guide combines the basic elements of various low voltage systems into a single source, so that readers gain a concrete understanding of the operation of individual systems – including theory of operation – as well as how they integrate.

Transformer Principles and Applications with Answer Key

RC-AT-1604-1606
$81.95

Transformer Principles and Applications
Developed in partnership with NJATC, this new text provides a comprehensive overview of transformer operation, maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting. This full-color textbook is designed to develop basic competencies of electrical apprentices, and other learners from beginning to advanced. It can be used in a classroom setting, as a self-study text, or as a desktop reference book on advanced wiring connections and applications. All safety and personal protective equipment depicted is based on requirements specified in National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 70E,  - ALSO Available >> Resource Guide

DVD
Understanding and Applying Electrical Grounding 2005 DVD

RC-WM-DVD2654-05
$49.95

Understanding and Applying Electrical Grounding 2005 DVD
Take a real look at Understanding and Applying Electrical Grounding - One of the most complicated and important aspects of electrical work is grounding. This quality DVD presentation first simplifies the theory behind grounding and then walks viewers through the proper application of grounding theory. The comprehensive instruction is augmented by illustrations, animations, and example calculations.
