Description
For sophomore-level courses in Electrical Power Distribution Systems and Electrical Systems Design in Electronics and Computer Technology in 2-year colleges. Also appropriate for electrical apprentice and industrial training programs.
This text explains the fundamentals of electrical system design, emphasizing the use of the National Electric Code (NEC) requirements. Written by an instructor with both teaching and real-world experience in power distribution, this text leads students through a basic overview of systems commonly found in residential, commercial, and industrial occupancies, then progresses to more advanced topics such as voltage drop, short circuit, coordination, and harmonics. The text emphasizes practical, real-world applications in all areas.
