Written for industrial wiring courses at two-year community and technical colleges, ELECTRICAL WIRING INDUSTRIAL, 16th Edition, walks learners step by step through an industrial building -- equipping them with all the basics for installing wiring systems. A set of blueprints included with the text enables students to apply chapter concepts to an actual industrial building as they progress through the book and continue to build upon their news skills. The new edition also includes expanded coverage of motor installation, service entrances, transformers, motor control symbols, and how to select conductors for equipment.

ELECTRICAL WIRING INDUSTRIAL, 16th Edition completes Cengage's NEC-based Electrical Wiring series, which includes ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL and ELECTRICAL WIRING COMMERCIAL. All books in this series have been thoroughly updated to reflect the 2017 National Electric Code, the standard for layout and construction of electrical systems.

ELECTRICAL WIRING INDUSTRIAL, 16th Edition completes Cengage's NEC-based Electrical Wiring series, which includes ELECTRICAL WIRING RESIDENTIAL and ELECTRICAL WIRING COMMERCIAL. All books in this series have been thoroughly updated to reflect the 2017 National Electric Code, the standard for layout and construction of electrical systems. Chapters illustrate how to apply contemporary 2017 NEC® requirements for power distribution, conductor sizing, motor connection, power factor correction, and lighting in industrial settings. Extended coverage of motor installation has been incorporated. Coverage of service entrances has been expanded. Additional information concerning transformers is now included. Detailed new instruction explains how to select conductors for equipment. Additional information on motor control symbols has been added. Real-World Approach: Extremely practical, the chapter on motor installation presents detailed instruction on how to size conductors, overloads, short circuit protective devices, and motor starter sizes in a way that relates to on-the-job situations. Comprehensive Coverage: The text includes different types of three-phase services, such as wye, delta, wye with grounded neutral conductor, delta with B phase ground, and delta high leg services. Essential Motor Controls: A full chapter is devoted to basic motor controls as well as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).
