A very accessible and informative textbook - and surprisingly funny to boot! Though the nuances of AC power fried my brain, the book is an excellent entry-level guide to the ins and outs of electricity as it pertains to the live entertainment industry. Cadena makes the math fairly easy to understand and execute and emphasizes a firm safety-first attitude.

Cadena acknowledges and repeatedly reinforces the potential safety hazards in each chapter. A must-have for any would-be Master Electrician.

A great manual that introduced me to the basics of how electricity works, but didn't help me solve the problems I had. So I turned to professional electricians in Mississauga https://electricianmississauga.ca . They promptly addressed my electrical issue with professionalism and expertise, providing clear explanations.

Very useful

Surprised how in-depth it got yet still relatively easy to understand. As someone that works with motion picture lighting equipment I appreciated the examples provided that were right down my alley.
