Learning Electrical with the books offered.

[jwhit]

I have been through an extensive Electronics Tech. Program a number of years ago. Current I work at planning, wiring and troubleshooting of AC circuits used in machines panels. Most of my theory carries over. The area I need some real help with is the Neutrals, grounds a/c currents, Y and delta transformers. I bought the electrical theory book, but the depth seems to be lost in the fact that we have to accept certain principles without true understanding. there are certain subjects that are "not discussed in this book" Is this because the next book in the series goes further into it or am I looking for something that doesn't exist. One last question, do you over books that talk about real beginning electrical basics( conduit, panels , boxes, enclosures. Some of the real basics for a practicing Electrician.

Thanks

Most of the "basic" information is learned on the job, which is why most jurisdictions require a certain amount of experience before taking a Journeyman or Master exam. The alternative would be to take an apprenticeship traing course which are offered in many areas.

Try Joseph McPartland books and Audels, they give very goodbasics for the powerguys, if youre working for a company, try contacting electrical manufacturers for their materials catalog to fingd out whats being used.
Books are useful, saves you a lot of unhappy experiences.
Goodluck
