 Great for the beginner or experienced August 18, 2001

I have been an Avionics Tech. for 30 years and bought this book for my son-in-law. I have had a copy and used it for years to brush up on sometimes forgoten electrical principals. This book is so good that the aircraft technical schools issue it to aviation mechanics for the AC and DC basics. If you want to understand electricity, motors, generators, AC/DC theory...This book is for you!!!!!

Time Tested NAVY TRAINING without the Chief yellin' at ya' September 3, 2007

.
This is the same material used to train ALL of the technicians in ALL of the electronics ratings in the US Navy. I used this book, or one of its earlier versions, when I rode a Submarine in the Eighties.
The US Navy is the most technologically advanced combat force in human history. And this is the material used to train their techs.
'Nuff said.

I have a degree in electrical engineering and is no stranger to text books on the subject of electrical circuits and power distribution. This book serves as an awesome guide that can compete with any book written on electric circuits. It also touches on three phase transformer configurations and ac/dc generators and motors.
As for the guy that claim this book is based on outdated methods of analysis and circuit components and devices, I strongly disagree. Transformers, Ac generators, DC generators and motors are used in the power industry as well as other industrial settings as of today and is not on the verge of becoming extinct no time soon.
To not understand the material is one thing, but to write a nasty review out lack of knowledge oncerning the subject is ridiculous. My opinion this is a great book.

This is a really good textbook for the person who is just geeting in to the field of electricity. I am studying to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer and I found this book extremely helpfull. It doesn't go in to too much depth which is good because you don't get confused with what you are tryingn to learn. All in all, a really good book.
