I was leaving the Navy and transitioning into the Civilian world. I wanted to make sure I knew as much as I could about the difference in the Navy and private industry. This book was a huge help for that.

If you’re a beginner or just brushing up on your electrical trade this is one of the best electrical books I’ve ever came across. For $45 you get a lot of knowledge.

I have worked with industrial electricity for years. Ordered the book as a resource for people who I train. I have even learned a thing or two. Strongly recommend

This book covers the basics and has a good review section at the end of each chapter. It is organized well and has great information for someone who is just beginning as an industrial electrician.

I have never studied electrical nor did I know anything about it, I purchased this book to pass the test to get in the apprenticeship program at U.S. Steel . I have not taken the test yet but the book is very easy to follow and when I spoke with the people in the electrical field and they lookes at the book they said it was on point, I also have three friends that used this book only and passed. I am a women, and machanically inclined but I was not familiar with electrical . This book is great I would recommend it for anyone wanting to begin a career in this filed it starts from A to B. This is one of the best investments your money can buy. I also purchased a used version from Amazon and the book was like new for almost half the cost. ( UPDATE) I passed at a high level and now am an electrician in the steel mill. I still read this book to continue learning although the best is hands on this book will guve you enough knowledge to get hands on and feel comfortable. I recommend this book to everyone trying to get in Maintenance, beginners, novice, even people with experience.
