Electrical Wiring Industrial 16th Edition by Stephen L. Herman
Quick Navigation

Overview

Written for industrial wiring courses at two-year community and technical colleges, ELECTRICAL WIRING INDUSTRIAL, 16th Edition, walks learners step by step through an industrial building -- equipping them with all the basics for installing wiring systems. A set of blueprints included with the text enables students to apply chapter concepts to an actual industrial building as they progress through the book and continue to build upon their news skills. The new edition also includes expanded coverage of motor installation, service entrances, transformers, motor control symbols, and how to select conductors for equipment.

ELECTRICAL WIRING INDUSTRIAL, 16th Edition completes Cengage's NEC-based Electrical Wiring series, which includes ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL and ELECTRICAL WIRING COMMERCIAL. All books in this series have been thoroughly updated to reflect the 2017 National Electric Code, the standard for layout and construction of electrical systems.
