Electric Wiring (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Electric Wiring<br><br>The object of the author in writing this book is to make clear the principles which govern the art of wiring, using only such wiring tables as are in daily practical use to demonstrate these principles.<br><br>The experimental stage in electric wiring has been passed, and mere compilations of tables no longer satisfy the student in this field of electrical work; nor, do they now meet the requirements of the practical, wireman, the electrician, or the contractor.<br><br>They wish to know the principles upon which the formulae used by them are based, so that they can make for themselves such tables as needed by them in their daily work.<br><br>We are indebted to Ohm and Helmholtz almost entirely for all the fundamental principles used in the art of electric wiring; and, it has been the sole object of the author to present these principles in a clear and concise manner, so that anyone using wiring tables in his daily work can become a master not only of the mechanical part of his work, but also of the Art itself.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
