Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity / 7th Edition

The seventh edition of the electrical trade’s most widely assigned classroom text. Delmar’s Standard Textbook of Electricity is built for someone starting from zero: each chapter establishes a piece of theory, then immediately shows the wiring practice and Code requirement that follow from it.

What the book covers

• Electrical fundamentals: atomic structure, measurement, Ohm’s law and power
• Series, parallel and combination circuits with extensive worked problems
• Magnetism, inductance, capacitance and alternating current behaviour
• Single-phase and three-phase systems, transformers and power distribution
• Motor types, motor control circuits and troubleshooting
• Wiring methods, grounding, and applying the National Electrical Code on real jobs
• Meters, test instruments and job-site safety practice

Who it’s for

First and second-year electrical apprentices, trade school and community college students, and self-studying candidates working toward a journeyman licence.
