IPT’s Electrical Handbook

$75.00

IPT’s Electrical Handbook and Training Manual, designed for practical use in the field, classroom or office, serves a dual role as an educational tool or reference guide for electrical fundamentals, trade practices and engineering data. They are a favorite of apprentices, trades people, technologists, engineers and instructors alike.

Electrical Handbook and Manual – Logical, Sequential, Easy to Use

In spite of its length—over 500 pages, information presented in this handbook and manual is logically sequenced for easy location of electrical questions and problems. This comprehensive guide covers all the fundamentals, from electrical conductors to transformers and lighting. It also features 264 illustrations and 115 tables and charts, referring throughout to both NEC and CEC codes.
