From the Preface
Many years ago I was asked to create a compendium of tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and terminology relating to the field of electricity. Electrical Reference was my first endeavor to create a pocket guide for the electrical marketplace that would serve as an all-encompassing publication in a new user-friendly format. I ended up utilizing a design and typeface that holds the most information per page while at the same time making a particular topic quick to reference.
Information covered in this manual is necessary for anyone in the field to have in one's possession at all times. Naturally, a topic may have been overlooked or not discussed in depth to suit all tradespeople. I will constantly monitor and update this book on a regular basis to not only include requested additional material, but to add new material from the ever growing amount of high technology as it develops.
Best wishes,
Paul Rosenberg
