Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity / 8th Edition by Herman & Vigstol

The book most American electricians were taught from. Delmar’s Standard Textbook of Electricity takes someone with no electrical background to competent apprentice, building theory and Code application together rather than teaching physics first and practice later.

What the book covers

• Atomic structure, electrical measurement, and Ohm’s law from the ground up
• Series, parallel and combination circuits, with worked problems throughout
• Magnetism, inductance, capacitance and the behaviour of AC circuits
• Three-phase power, transformers, and motor theory and control
• Wiring methods and NEC application in real installations
• Test equipment, troubleshooting technique, and job-site safety practice

Who it’s for

Apprentices in registered training programmes, trade school and community college electrical students, and anyone self-studying toward a journeyman licence. Written to be worked through in order, not consulted at random.
