"The target market for this work is electrical craft, and multi-craft personnel working in commercial and industrial facilities both in the United States and overseas. The work is intended to help the reader solve electrical equipment and systems relatedproblems. The approach will be to provide simple explanations of the individual chapter subjects which can be understood in everyday non-engineering terms. The reference section which will contain many charts, tables, and diagrams most commonly needed in everyday plant electrical work. Crafts persons will use this handy reference at work to quickly locate technical data, and to improve their understanding of specific areas of immediate interest. Rules-of-thumb and quick tricks will be included. When math is presented, a worked out example will be included to better facilitate understanding by the reader. A focus on "green" thinking and sustainability will be included in sidebars where it applies. The book will contain critical data, formulas, charts, or tables for electrical work on specific pieces of equipment. Because electrical systems in Canada and Europe are closely related to the systems used in the United States, the market for this work can be considered to be international"--
