Electrical Wiring Industrial

Drawings, schematics, and illustrations throughout the text create a strong visual appeal that engages today's learners and helps them connect chapter material to real-life applications.

“Safety Alerts” emphasize safety by highlighting the importance of safe professional practices at all times.

Learning objectives carefully align technical content to end-of-chapter questions and problems and all supplemental assessments, providing a clear framework to help instructors plan coursework, assignments and assessments.

An entire chapter is devoted to basic motor controls and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), providing detailed coverage of these essential topics.

Practical, integrated coverage of relevant mathematical concepts makes it easier for students to master the important math skills they will need to succeed on the job, without overwhelming them with needless detail or complexity.

Extremely practical and focused on real-world applications, the chapter on motor installation presents detailed instructions on how to size conductors, overloads, short circuit protective devices and motor starters in a way readers can readily apply on the job.

Comprehensive coverage of industrial wiring essentials introduces students to different types of three-phase services, including wye, delta, wye with grounded neutral conductor, delta with B phase ground and delta high leg services.

Thoroughly updated to reflect the 2023 National Electrical Code® (NEC®) requirements, information on relevant NEC standards is integrated into step-by-step procedures for selecting conductors for a particular application, implementing power factor correction and installing motors and transformers.

Detailed photographs, diagrams and illustrations throughout the text have been updated to reflect current industry equipment and standards, clarifying critical industrial electricity concepts while preparing students to connect what they learn to real-world professional applications.

Key topics important for today's industry professionals have been added and expanded on, including extended coverage of fuses and new information on system grounding, zigzag transformers, transformer tap changers and NEC requirements for transformer installation and panelboards.
