Electrical Principles and Technology for Engineering


Book Description

The aim of this book is to introduce students to the basic electrical and electronic principles needed by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. The emphasis is on the practical aspects of the subject, and the author has followed his usual successful formula, incorporating many worked examples and problems (answers supplied) into the learning process. Electrical Principles and Technology for Engineering is John Bird's core text for Further Education courses at BTEC levels N11 and N111 and Advanced GNVQ. It is also designed to provide a comprehensive introduction for students on a variety of City & Guilds courses, and any students or technicians requiring a sound grounding in Electrical Principles and Electrical Power Technology.




Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology


Book Description

This practical resource introduces electrical and electronic principles and technology covering theory through detailed examples, enabling students to develop a sound understanding of the knowledge required by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. No previous background in engineering is assumed, making this an ideal text for vocational courses at Levels 2 and 3, foundation degrees and introductory courses for undergraduates.







Electrical Principles


Book Description

Supports learning and delivery in: - UEE30811 Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician - UEE22011 Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) Phillips, Electrical Principles uses a student-friendly writing style, a range of fully worked examples and full-colour illustrations to make the basic principles easier to understand. Covering the core knowledge components of the current UEE11 Electrotechnology Training Package and referencing the new AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules, this textbook is structured, written and illustrated to present the information in a way that is accessible to students. With a new focus on sustainable energy, brushless DC motors and the inclusion of student ancillaries, as well as structuring more closely to the knowledge and skills requirements for each competency unit covered, Electrical Principles, 4e is the ideal text for students enrolled in Certificate II and III Electrotechnology qualifications. With more than 800 diagrams, hundreds of worked examples, practice questions and self-check questions, this edition is the most up-to-date text in the market. The writing style is aimed at Certificate III students while retaining the terminology typically used in the Electrical Trades. Additionally, the technical content does not break into a level above that of Certificate III. At all times the book uses illustrations integrated with the text to explain a topic.







Electric Power Principles


Book Description

This innovative approach to the fundamentals of electric power provides the most rigorous, comprehensive and modern treatment available. To impart a thorough grounding in electric power systems, it begins with an informative discussion on per-unit normalizations, symmetrical components and iterative load flow calculations. Covering important topics within the power system, such as protection and DC transmission, this book looks at both traditional power plants and those used for extracting sustainable energy from wind and sunlight. With classroom-tested material, this book also presents: the principles of electromechanical energy conversion and magnetic circuits; synchronous machines - the most important generators of electric power; power electronics; induction and direct current electric motors. Homework problems with varying levels of difficulty are included at the end of each chapter, and an online solutions manual for tutors is available. A useful Appendix contains a review of elementary network theory. For senior undergraduate and postgraduate students studying advanced electric power systems as well as engineers re-training in this area, this textbook will be an indispensable resource. It will also benefit engineers in electronic power systems, power electronic systems, electric motors and generators, robotics and mechatronics. www.wiley.com/go/kirtley_electric




Principles of Electrical Machines


Book Description

For over 15 years "Principles of Electrical Machines” is an ideal text for students who look to gain a current and clear understanding of the subject as all theories and concepts are explained with lucidity and clarity. Succinctly divided in 14 chapters, the book delves into important concepts of the subject which include Armature Reaction and Commutation, Single-phase Motors, Three-phase Induction motors, Synchronous Motors, Transformers and Alternators with the help of numerous figures and supporting chapter-end questions for retention.







Electrical Principles 3 Checkbook


Book Description

Electrical Principles 3 Checkbook aims to introduce students to the basic electrical principles needed by technicians in electrical engineering, electronics, and telecommunications. The book first tackles circuit theorems, single-phase series A.C. circuits, and single-phase parallel A.C. circuits. Discussions focus on worked problems on parallel A.C. circuits, worked problems on series A.C. circuits, main points concerned with D.C. circuit analysis, worked problems on circuit theorems, and further problems on circuit theorems. The manuscript then examines three-phase systems and D.C. transients, including worked problems on D.C. transients, main points concerned with three-phase systems, and worked problems on three-phase systems. The text ponders on single-phase transformers, D.C. machines, and introduction to three-phase induction motors. Topics include worked problems on an introduction to three-phase induction motors; main points concerned with D.C. machines; worked problems on D.C. machines; and main points concerned with an introduction to three-phase induction motors. The publication then elaborates on the main points and worked problems concerned with measuring instruments and measurements. The book is a dependable source of data for students wanting to dig deeper into electrical principles.
