Description

Updated to reference the 2008 National Electrical Code, this 13th edition of Electrical Wiring Industrial will guide you step-by-step through the wiring of an entire industrial building, making this an ideal resource for anyone who works in the industrial electricity industry. With a practical, straightforward approach, Electrical Wiring Industrial begins by covering the tasks and responsibilities that face today's professional industrial electricians, including installation of electrical service, power and lighting; special new construction systems; changeovers from old systems; planning for growth and increased capacity; and periodic maintenance procedures.

Specific references to the 2008 National Electrical Code throughout the book show you how to incorporate codes and principles into everyday practice and procedures. A complete set of industrial building plans is also included, offering opportunities for hands-on practice in interpreting and applying 2008 National Electrical Code requirements to sitework, feeder bus systems, panelboards, fiber optics, harmonics, hazardous locations, and more.

Features:

New chapter on basic motor control.
New chapter on developing a program for a programmable logic controller (PLC).
New, updated photographs, diagrams and illustrations add clarity to explanations of critical concepts.
Updated examples depict the application of 2008 National Electrical Code requirements to power distribution, conductor sizing, motor connection, power factor correction, plus lighting requirements.
Math concepts are clearly explained, and kept at a basic level to provide precisely the skills needed to succeed on the job without overwhelming readers with complicated concepts.

From the Preface
Intended Use and Level
Electrical Wiring Industrial is intended for use in industrial wiring courses at two-year community and technical colleges. The text walks the reader step by step through an industrial building, providing the basics on installing industrial wiring systems. An accompanying set of plans at the back of the book allows the student to proceed step by step through the wiring process by applying concepts learned in each chapter to an actual industrial building, in order to understand and meet requirements set forth by the National Electrical Code.

Subject and Approach
The thirteenth edition of Electrical Wiring Industrial is based on the 2008 National Electrical Code. The National Electrical Code is used as the basic standard for the layout and construction of electrical systems. To gain the greatest benefit from this text, the learner must use the National Electrical Code on a continuing basis.

In addition to the accurate interpretation of the requirements of the National Electrical Code, the successful completion of any wiring installation requires the electrician to have a thorough understanding of basic electrical principles, a knowledge of the tools and materials used in installations, familiarity with commonly installed equipment and the specific wiring requirements of the equipment, the ability to interpret electrical construction drawings, and a constant awareness of safe wiring practices.

Electrical Wiring Industrial builds upon the knowledge and experience gained from working with the other texts in the Thomson Delmar Learning electrical wiring series and related titles. The basic skills developed through previous applications are now directed to industrial installations, The industrial electrician is responsible for the installation of electrical service, power, lighting, and special systems in new construction; for the changeover from old systems to new in established industrial buildings; for the provision of additional electrical capacity to meet the growth requirements of an industrial building; and for periodic maintenance and repair of the various systems and components in the building.

Features
An introduction to plans and sitework is the topic of the first chapter in the book, providing explanations of identifying symbols and interpreting the plans in order to help orient the student to the industrial job site. Examples are integrated into the text and take the student step by step through problems to illustrate how to derive solutions using newly introduced mathematical formulas and calculations. Industrial building drawings are included in the back of the book, offering students the opportunity to apply the concepts that they have learned in each chapter as they step through the wiring process. Review questions at the end of each chapter allow students to test what they have learned and to target any sections that require further review.
