Herman/Vigstol's DELMAR'S STANDARD TEXTBOOK OF ELECTRICITY, CENGAGE INTERNATIONAL EDITION 8th Edition, combines basic electrical theory with practical information with no requirement for prior electrical knowledge. The text also limits math to basic algebra and trigonometry with step-by-step examples. Quality schematics and illustrations guide students through basic electrical circuits, DC and AC theory and equipment such as meters, transformers and motors. Numerous examples demonstrate how to complete common tasks electricians perform, while specific units cover only one or two topics each to ensure clarity. In addition, any discussion of installation practices has been written for compliance with the 2023 edition of NFPA 70®: National Electrical Code® (NEC®). MindTap online resources are also available with interactive multimedia and options to customize, track and report progress.
