From First Principles to Field Diagnosis
Master electrical engineering the way it is actually practiced — from the physics of charge and voltage to the diagnosis of live power systems on the bench and in the field.
This comprehensive reference builds knowledge in a deliberate arc: every topic moves from governing principles to worked calculations to measurable, real-world behavior. Whether you are a student meeting circuit theory for the first time, an early-career engineer bridging classroom and jobsite, a technician troubleshooting equipment, or an instructor seeking a rigorous desk reference, you will find both the analytical foundations and the disciplined workflows that professional work demands.
Inside, you will learn to:
- Analyze DC and AC circuits using fundamental laws, node and mesh methods, source transformations, and superposition
- Work confidently in the phasor domain with impedance, resonance, and first- and second-order transient response
- Interpret active, reactive, and apparent power — and correct power factor with properly sized capacitor banks
- Apply operational amplifiers, filters, and signal conditioning built up from the ideal model
- Understand three-phase systems, variable frequency drives, and motor control as parts of one integrated network
- Quantify power quality and harmonic distortion, and apply mitigation aligned with recognized standards
- Design grounding and earthing systems and manage electromagnetic compatibility
- Coordinate overcurrent protection, calculate fault current, and assess arc flash hazards
- Commission systems and diagnose faults through measurement, verification, and safe work practices
Every chapter pairs governing equations with diagnostic examples, professional figures — schematics, phasor diagrams, waveforms, and protection curves — and practice problems that reward method over memorization. Safety is treated as non-negotiable, with clear guidance on safe isolation and hazard awareness throughout.
More than a formula list, this is a working framework that connects theory, measurement, and field judgment — a study companion on your desk and a diagnostic reference at the bench.
Begin with the fundamentals. Build toward mastery. Diagnose with confidence.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
