Electrical Installation Work Brian Scaddan

Book Description

Preference :
This book is intended for the trainee electrician who is working towards NVQs, gaining competencies in various aspects of installation work. It covers both installation theory and practice in compliance with the 18th edition of the IET Wiring Regulations and also deals with the electrical contracting industry, the environmental effects of electricity, and basic electronics.

The material in this book has been arranged to cater to student-centered learning programs. Self-assessment questions and answers are provided at the end of chapters. Since January 1995. As there has been no physical change to the system, it is likely that measurement of voltages will reveal little or no difference to those before, nor will they do so for some considerable time to come. However, I have used only the new values in the examples in this book.
