Electricity 2
Devices, Circuits and Materials
Ninth Edition
Thomas Kubala
Electricity 2: Devices, Circuits and
Materials, 9th Edition acquaints newcomers to the field with
various types of alternating current circuits, while developing a
solid understanding of the concepts of power, power factor, and
power factor correction.
This book, completely updated to the
2008
National Electrical Code®, explores alternating current
principles and concepts of inductive reactance, capacitive
reactance, and impedance.
Sample problems and solutions at the end of
each unit provide a direct route to understanding as readers apply
key electrical principles in realistic troubleshooting situations
Features:
- enhancements to this edition include the
latest terminology and a modernized art program featuring current
photographs of electrical equipment
- modern applications of power installations
help prepare readers for work in the field
- pragmatic troubleshooting methods are
explored to help develop critical thinking skills
- problems and solutions at the end of each
unit help readers identify topics that require further review
