Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity
By Stephen L. Herman, Derek Vigstol
About your course materials
Herman/Vigstol's DELMAR'S STANDARD TEXTBOOK OF ELECTRICITY, 8th Edition, combines basic electrical theory with practical information with no requirement for prior electrical knowledge. The text also limits math to basic algebra and trigonometry with step-by-step examples. Quality schematics and illustrations guide students through basic electrical circuits, DC and AC theory and equipment such as meters, transformers and motors. Numerous examples demonstrate how to complete common tasks electricians perform, while specific units cover only one or two topics each to ensure clarity. In addition, any discussion of installation practices has been written for compliance with the 2023 edition of NFPA 70®: National Electrical Code® (NEC®). MindTap online resources are also available with interactive multimedia and options to customize, track and report progress.

This edition continues the effort to limit math concepts to basic algebra and trigonometry. These concepts are logically organized and include step-by-step examples to ensure students master the basics before moving to more advanced topics.
"Why You Need to Know" boxed articles highlight the relevance and emphasize the importance of the book's critical topics. These articles demonstrate how these principles are actually used in today's world.
Practical "Green Tips" integrated throughout the text, equip students to offer energy-efficient and "green" options as professionals. While these concepts have been updated to best reflect today’s equipment, the electrical field is ever-evolving and they present an opportunity for the instructor’s knowledge of new technology to be front and center.
