Electrical Principles and Practices

3rd Edition
By: Glen A. Mazur, Peter A. Zurlis

Electrical Principles and Practices is an introduction to electrical and electronic principles and practices and their uses in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

This new edition has been reorganized to provide coverage of key electrical concepts at the beginning of the text. Other chapters have been expanded to include greater coverage on personal protective equipment, NFPA 70E, basic first aid, test instruments, printreading, and programmable logic relays.

The CD-ROM in the back of the book is designed as a self-study aid to enhance text content. The CD-ROM includes Quick Quizzes®, an Illustrated Glossary, Math Formulas, and Reference Material. The Quick Quizzes® provide an interactive review of the topics covered in the chapters.

The Illustrated Glossary provides a helpful reference to key terms included in the text. Selected terms are linked to illustrations, video clips, and animated graphics that augment the definition provided. The Math Formulas provide formulas for interactive calculation and application of Ohm’s Law, the Power Formula, series circuits, parallel circuits, electric motor operation, and RCL circuits.

The Reference Material button accesses links to Internet sites that contain related electrical-product manufacturer and reference information.

Electrical Principles and Practices Workbook

3rd Edition
By: Glen A. Mazur, Peter A. Zurlis

The review questions consist of true-false, multiple choice, completion, identification, and calculation questions based on the text and illustrations in the corresponding chapter in the textbook. The worksheets provide an opportunity to apply the concepts in each chapter of the textbook to practical electrical circuit design and troubleshooting problems.

This edition also includes activities based on the concepts introduced in the textbook and information provided on the workbook CD-ROM. The activities are designed to engage the learner and present real-world procedures and applications. The CD-ROM contains information used to answer activity questions.

The CD-ROM included in the Electrical Principles and Practices Workbook features:

• Electrical power and lamp data sheets that help develop skills used when referencing manufacturer information
• TECO SG2 Client programmable relay simulation software that enables the design, testing, and simulation of ladder logic and function block diagrams
• Interactive color rendering simulation that compares the color shift produced by different lamp types
• Virtual digital multimeters that demonstrate the functionality of the Fluke 87V digital multimeter and the Fluke 43B power quality analyzer
• Grounding application videos that present a case study of a real-world grounding problem and solution
• Electrical print that reinforces printreading skills
• Audio frequencies application that produces an audible tone at different frequencies to demonstrate the range of an individual’s hearing
• Reference material that provides links to related industry and standards organizations

The Answer Key (optional) contains answers to questions in the Workbook
