Modern Electrical Installation For Craft Students

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.

Electrical Installation Work provides full coverage for all current Level 2 Electrical Installation courses, suitable for college students and modern apprentices. Electrical Installation Work covers both theory and practice for the trainee who wants to understand not only how, but why electrical installations are designed, installed and tested in particular ways. Brian Scaddan's approach encourages independent learning with self-assessment questions provided throughout. Electrical Installation Work is well established as a leading text for City & Guilds courses 2260 Parts 1 and 2. The fourth edition includes a new section covering additional topics included in the 2351 course. It also provides the underpinning knowledge needed for a level 2 NVQ (C&G 2355). The new material includes major sections on safe electrical site working; inspection, testing and certification; diagnosis and repair of electrical faults. The book has also been updated to meet the requirements of the latest issue of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671: 2001). Brian Scaddan is a Chief Examiner, Leading Scheme Assessor and Honorary Member of City and Guilds. He has 22 years' experience in Further Education, and is now Director of Brian Scaddan Associates, Engineering Training Consultants.

This book is written principally for the use of the non-academic apprentice electrician. Its practical spproach will supply the reader with the confidence and knowledtge that is necessary to enable him to carry out his everyday work in an efficient manner and will help to prepare him for the City and Guilds certificate in Electrical Installation. The work will also be of interest to those in the industry wishing to brush up on the subject.The book gives practical information on the various types of wiring used in domestic and industrial installations. Starting with Ohm's Law, it uses simple equations throughout for resistance, current, power, heating effect, etc., so that the basic theory is well covered. It goes on to circuits, bells, batteries, motors, certification and lighting.In this third edition great care has been taken to ensure that the units, symbols, circuit diagrams and abbreviations comply with the current I.E.E. regulations and B.S. 3939.Recent City and Guilds examination questions have been added to the text.The craft student will find the volume fully comprehensive, clear and well illustrated.

Modern Wiring Practice has been continuously in print for more than forty years. This new edition takes into account the requirements of the 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations and has been updated throughout. The book deals with both the design of electrical installation systems and the practical work itself. The authors had many year's experience of electrical installation, and their purpose here is to encourage high standards of design and workmanship in all aspects of electrical installation. Written for all those involved in electrical installation, the book's approach will be of particular interest to apprentices, electricians, supervisors, contractors, designers and architects.

Electrical Wiring: Residential, Seventh Canadian Edition, will prove a valuable resource to instructors and students alike. It includes 2015 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I references and wiring techniques. Each chapter is a complete lesson ending with review questions to summarize the material covered. The chapters are sequenced to introduce the student to basic principles and wiring practices, and progress to more advanced areas of residential electrical wiring. The text guides students through the working drawings for a residential electrical installation, the proper wiring of receptacles, and the minimum required number of lighting and power branch circuits. Key topics include: calculating conductor sizes, calculating voltage drop, sizing services, connecting electrical appliances, grounding and bonding equipment, and installing recessed fixtures. These are critical skills that can make the difference between an installation that “meets code” and one that is exceptional.
