From the Inside Flap

Over the course of my 25-year career in the electrical industry, I have
seen the scope of work that defines the electrician grow significantly.
Today, the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for electricians who
install, troubleshoot, and maintain electrical systems are mind-boggling.
In addition to the expanding scope of work, the pace at which change
occurs and the pace at which technology improves are unfathomable.
Even a cursory review of today's electrical market will reveal that
nowhere is the confluence of these two developments more apparent
than in the area of electrical/electronic systems control and monitoring.
Albert Cutter has done an outstanding service for our industry
by developing a hands-on reference and training tool in his new work,
Electrician's Guide to Control and Monitoring Systems.
Electrical workers today are faced with the increased challenge of
installing, troubleshooting, and maintaining the systems that control
and monitor critical-mission processes and operations. The Guide
provides detailed drawings and step-by-step explanations that will be
extremely useful to field and plant electricians who are required to
install and maintain these systems. Extensive coverage is provided on
input and output devices, ladder diagrams, pilot devices, and electrical
control and monitoring symbols.
Today's electrical industry is a dynamic one that relies heavily on the
latest electrical/electronic systems to control and monitor processes that
are critical to so very many industries, including the automotive, pharmaceutical,
petrochemical, and engineering communities. Electricians must
be trained and capable of meeting the increasing demands that these
industries place on them. Mr. Cutter's Guide will go a long way toward
helping the next generation of electricians meet this challenge.
