Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity / Njatc

by Stephen L. Herman

This exciting, full-color book is the most comprehensive text book on DC/AC circuits and machines for electrical students. It provides complete coverage of concepts relating to electrical theory, as well as giving practical "how-to" examples of many of the common tasks that electricians must perform. The text has been organized so that all relevant information is located within a given chapter, making it easy to access and easy to teach topics in any order. With its visually appealing, easy-to-understand coverage of alternating current theory, and expanded coverage of topics such as transformers and electrical filters, this text continues to set the standard in DC/AC circuits and machines.

Good book, well laid out and easy to understand. Even useful to go back to every now and then.

I LOVE IT

One of my favorite texts. It’s not a very deep dive but it’s a dive, for sure.

I'm back in school after a lot of years and this was my Basic Electricity textbook. My professor called it the best electricity textbook available. This is an excellent book on the fundamentals of electricity. Starting with atomic structure and electron flow theory and culminating with single phase motors, this is everything you need to know. The language is fairly engaging for a textbook and there are numerous helpful diagrams and illustrations spread throughout. There are also tons of practice problems that are laid out step by step to aid you in understand how to solve for unknowns in a circuit.

This one's only four stars for me, though, because there are several printing errors. This is bad. I mean, say you're trying to figure out how to solve for power in an AC circuit and the formula in the book is wrong. You'll spend an awful lot of time wondering why you're not getting even close to the correct answer. It's one thing if you're in class and can check things with your professor but, if you were trying to learn this on your own, you'd be in for some headaches.

Regardless, I can recommend this book to anyone with a desire to learn about electricity.

Required reading for my ELEC-100 class. Clear, concise. Makes sense of electrical theory.
Save your money and buy the fourth edition.
