Book Description
Whitfield’s Electrical Craft Principles, 6th edition is the second of a two-volume work that covers the electrical principles syllabi for all major awarding bodies such as BTEC, and City and Guilds. The book is fully illustrated throughout with line diagrams, photographs and drawings. Worked examples are included to aid understanding of the theories and principles presented in its pages. Each chapter concludes with a summary of formulae, a set of written exercises and a multiple-choice test, which makes the book ideal for both classroom and private study.
The book will also be useful for practicing electrical installers, engineers and technicians who wish to deepen their knowledge and prepare themselves for the demands of a rapidly developing industry.
