Electrical Principles For Installation And Craft Students

These books cover the electrical principles syllabuses of all the major examining bodies, including the City & Guilds of London Institute's electrical craft courses. The book is well illustrated with over 200 line diagrams and photographs. Theories are explained with the help of worked examples and there are more than 300 (400 in volume 2) graded exercises for which numerical answers are provided as well as over 300 multiple choice questions with solutions.

This is the second of a two-volume work covering the electrical principles syllabuses of all of the major examining bodies including the City & Guilds of London Institute's electrical craft courses. It is also suitable for a wide range of other courses, including the first three years of the BTEC electrical series. Great care has been taken to ensure that the text fully covers the content of the syllabuses concerned, both as published and as interpreted by the examiners in the past.

The two volumes of Whitfield's Electrical Craft Principles have been substantially revised and updated in 2008, reflecting changes in practice and legislation (e.g. BS 7671/Requirements for Electrical Installations). The volumes are presented in a new format, are highly illustrated and contain full problems and solutions.

Modern Electrical Installation for Craft Students, Volume 2, Third Edition discusses several topics concerning electrical installations. The book is comprised of eight chapters that deal with craft theory, associated subjects, and electrical industries. Chapter 1 covers inductors and inductance, while Chapter 2 tackles capacitors and capacitance. Chapter 3 deals with inductance and capacitance in installation work. The book also discusses cells, batteries, and transformers. The electrical industries, control and earthing, and testing are also dealt with. The last chapter discusses the basic electronics technology. The text will be of great use to craft students and other professionals dealing with electrical installations.

Intended for use on courses that train students to at least approved electrician status, this book covers the requirements of a number of electrical installation syllabuses and courses. It covers the theoretical knowledge and the practical aspects of electrician's work. The book explains: about working in outdoor conditions, at heights and in awkward and confined spaces; how to diagnose faults on/in electrical installations, machines and appliances, and to carry out repairs; and how to read wiring diagrams, layouts of equipment and specifications from architect's and builder's plans, and to transfer the information to the actual building.
