A time- and course-tested book designed to familiarize readers with the concepts of electricity and electronics as they pertain to industrial measurement and control. This new fourth edition is accompanied by a lab workbook containing exercises that are designed to approximate â??real-lifeâ?? applications.
This proven, time-tested book, Basic Electricity and Electronics for Control: Fundamentals and Applications, teaches readers about electricity and electronics in industrial measurement and control. It is designed to be student-focused, with an emphasis on practical applications. Even when covering mathematical and algebraic concepts, the explanations are clear and easy to understand without relying on complex operations or math. However, a basic understanding of mathematics is necessary to fully grasp and apply the content.
Safety remains a top priority, and this book offers detailed guidance on measuring electrical quantities safely and effectively. It also thoroughly explains how to use digital and analog meters, bridges, power supplies, solid-state circuitry, oscilloscopes and analog-to-digital converters.
In addition to expanding on the topics in the previous edition, the Fourth Edition now includes a lab workbook that helps students better understand the material through exercises that simulate real-world tasks in vocational, industrial and occupational fields. Together, the textbook and workbook will support student success in any basic technician training course.
