Fundamentals Of Electricity

This self-teaching book introduces the basic concepts of DC circuits. Each page typically presents five brief topics, each with a question or problem to solve. The answer is available for immediate review. A typical student will finish the book in 15-20 hours of spare time reading and "graduate" with a much better grasp of electrical concepts. Developed by and for employees at an electric utility to help them better understand their jobs.

Real-world engineering problems are rarely, if ever, neatly divided into mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and other categories. Engineers from all disciplines eventually encounter computer and electronic controls and instrumentation, which require at least a basic knowledge of electrical and other engineering specialties, as well as associa

This book serves as a tool for any engineer who wants tolearn about circuits, electrical machines and drives, powerelectronics, and power systems basics From time to time, engineers find they need to brush up oncertain fundamentals within electrical engineering. This clear andconcise book is the ideal learning tool for them to quickly learnthe basics or develop an understanding of newer topics. Fundamentals of Electric Power Engineering: FromElectromagnetics to Power Systems helps nonelectrical engineersamass power system information quickly by imparting tools and tradetricks for remembering basic concepts and grasping newdevelopments. Created to provide more in-depth knowledge offundamentals—rather than a broad range of applicationsonly—this comprehensive and up-to-date book: Covers topics such as circuits, electrical machines and drives,power electronics, and power system basics as well as newgeneration technologies Allows nonelectrical engineers to build their electricalknowledge quickly Includes exercises with worked solutions to assist readers ingrasping concepts found in the book Contains “in-depth” side bars throughout whichpique the reader’s curiosity Fundamentals of Electric Power Engineering is an idealrefresher course for those involved in this interdisciplinarybranch.

This class-tested book gives you a familiarity with electricity and electronics as used in the modern world of measurement and control. Integral to the text are procedures performed to make safe and successful measurements of electrical quantities. It will give you a measurement vocabulary along with an understanding of digital and analog meters, bridges, power supplies, solid state circuitry, oscilloscopes, and analog to digital conversions. This book is about behavior, not design, and thus lends itself to an easy-to-understand format over absolute technical perfection. And where possible, applications are used to illustrate the topics being explained. The text uses a minimum of mathematics and where algebraic concepts are utilized there is sufficient explanation of the operation, so you may see the solution without actually performing the mathematical operations. This book is student centered. It has been developed from course materials successfully used by the author in both a college setting and when presented as short course study classes by ISA. These materials have been successful because of the insistence on practicality and solicitation of student suggestions for improvements. Basic Electricity and Electronics for Control will enhance student success in any industrial or technical school setting where basic technician training is to take place.
