The definition and solution of engineering problems relies on the ability to represent systems and their behaviour in mathematical terms. Mathematics for Electrical Technicians 4/5 provides a simple and practical guide to the fundamental mathematical skills essential to technicians and engineers. This second edition has been revised and expanded to cover the BTEC Higher - 'Mathematics for Engineers' module for Electrical and Electronic Engineering Higher National Certificates and Diplomas. It will also meet the needs of first and second year undergraduates studying electrical engineering.
Electricity powers the applications that make our daily lives more productive and efficient. The demand for electricity has led to vast job opportunities in the electrical field. Electricians install electrical systems in structures. They install wiring and other electrical components, such as circuit breaker panels, switches, and light fixtures. NCCER and Pearson are pleased to present a fresh format for this edition of Electrical. This seventh edition has been updated to meet the 2011 National Electrical Code and includes revisions to the module examinations. - To the trainee.
This popular guide provides an understanding of basic design criteria and calculations, along with current inspection and testing requirements and explains how to meet the requirements of the IEE Wiring Regulations.
