Practical, classroom-to-workshop guidance for electrical lighting and power systems.
This revised volume covers direct and alternating currents, the machinery and equipment they use, and the main applications in electric lighting and power transmission. It presents clear language and a steady progression from fundamentals to real-world installations, making complex ideas easier to grasp.
Designed to fit the City and Guilds syllabus, the book aims to help artisans, engineers, and technicians build solid knowledge with practical insights you can apply on the job. It balances theory with hands-on examples and uses simple mathematics to explain key concepts, keeping the focus on useful understanding rather than abstract theory.
- Foundations of current, potential, capacity, conductors, and insulators, explained with everyday examples.
- Measurement techniques for current, resistance, electromotive force, and related quantities.
- Introductory coverage of dynamos, motors, transformers, and circulating systems.
- Installation equipment, fittings, and practical considerations for electric lighting and power work.
Ideal for readers of the City and Guilds syllabus and for professionals in electric lighting, power distribution, and related trades.
