Description Electrical Studies for Trades (5th Ed) by Stephen Herman Cengage Learning | May 2013 | ISBN-10: 113327823X | PDF | 640 pages | 63.6 mb http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Studies-Trades-Stephen-Herman/dp/113327823X Packed with real-world examples, vivid illustrations, and the latest developments from the field, ELECTRICAL STUDIES FOR TRADES, 5th EDITION is ideal for current and future service technicians in air conditioning and refrigeration, construction, and facilities management--and anyone else who needs a practical knowledge of electricity. Extremely reader-friendly, the book begins with an overview of basic electricity concepts--rather than complex mathematical calculations. From here, you proceed directly to "must-know" information, including how to determine wire sizes and make a variety of common switch connections. Different types of electrical power panels are also examined in detail. Discussion of general wiring practices and circuit protectors, as well as an introduction to transformers and three-phase and single-phase motors, round out the comprehensive coverage. About the Author  Stephen L. Herman is a retired electrician and teacher with more than 30 years of experience to his credit.
