INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICITY, Tenth Edition, presents the essentials of electrical theory in a clear, current, logical manner to help you master both fundamental concepts and more advanced subjects relevant to the field of industrial electricity. Coverage begins with foundational topics like safety, electrical symbols and drawings, current, voltage, resistance and power, while subsequent chapters introduce Ohm’s Law; series, parallel and combination circuits; and resistive and reactive circuits. The text also includes thorough discussion of advanced subjects such as test equipment, rotating machinery, motor controls, transformers, electronic drives and PLCs, as well as practical information on key real-world applications of electrical theory, including installation, maintenance and troubleshooting. The Tenth Edition features more than 800 illustrations and photos--now presented in vibrant, full color for a more visually engaging learning experience--to help explain key concepts and bring both theory and practice to life.
