Book Reviews of Electricians Calculations Manual
Book Review: This book is a disaster,
Summary: 1 Stars
Unbelievable, I am not even an electrician, but I noticed inconsistencies in the book that confused me in the first couple of pages. I cannot believe this got to print. This is supposed to be a resource! It's inexcusable.
The first problem I noticed, was that the answer on page 8 for number 2 was wrong, it mistook the amperage in the problem as being six when, in the page just before it has 5 written for amps. So the answer guide gives you the wrong answer. I'm only on the 8th page and I'm starting to doubt this is a good enough resource for me to rely upon. When I am learning something, I like to have a resource I can rely upon. McGraw Hill owes me a refund.
The second and most shocking one I found was on page 6; it says "watts/ohms = amperage", when its actually watts/volts = amperage:. In the diagram above, it clearly contradicts what's written right below! Even if you read the line underneath you can clearly see that there is a glaring problem because its says sqrt(watts/ohms) = amps. It clearly can't be both.
Summary of Electricians Calculations Manual
This is a calculations book aimed at working electricians and those attempting to pass the Electrician?s Exam. Like nothing currently on the market, this manual details and annotates key calculations electricians use in the field. Electricians can either learn the underpinnings of the calculation or simply ?plub and chug? their way through the problem. A final chapter provides the basics of the algebra and trigonometry used throughout the book, and a wealth of self-tests are also included.Electrical Books
