electrical theory books by mike holt for electric study

 
electricity and electrical theory resources, books, dvd,cd, correspondence and distance learning for electricians

It is with great pleasure that I offer the titles on this page from Mike Holt.

I have found all of Mike's books that I have used to be of top quality. Mike has a way of providing technically accurate explanations in  a way that can be understood by the lay person. The illustrations are always helpful in visualizing an electrical theory or installation in a manner that makes it much more realistic. The First 3 video training packages on this page were updated in 2003.

(videos are VHS video tapes unless specifically marked as DVDs)


You can always purchase with confidence from my secure shopping cart!

Ordering online is safe because I make use of Authorize.net as a secure payment gateway.  

On this page you will find the following topics:

Videos Included!

Standard Theory Library VHS

Do you know where electricity comes from? To be able to say yes to that question, you must understand a bit about the physics of matter. What value does a brief study of the nature of matter have for the student of electrical theory? The understanding that comes from that study lays the foundation for understanding electrical theory. Only when you know the theory can you truly have confidence in the practical aspects of your electrical work.

This all new 300-plus page illustrated textbook and workbook provides hundreds of detailed examples, practice questions, practice exams, summaries, introductions and conclusions. Includes textbook/workbook and three 4.5 hour videos; Electrical Fundamentals and Basic Electricity; Electrical Circuits, Systems, and Protection; and Alternating Current, Motors, Generators, and Transformers.

Harmonics


Unusual problems have been developing recently in electrical installations such as: overheating of transformers, motors, conductors, equipment, and even raceways and boxes! Circuit breakers are tripping, fuses are blowing for no apparent reason, and electronic equipment is suddenly shutting down! The culprit is likely harmonic currents resulting from modern electronic non-linear loads such as personal computers, laser printers, electronic ballast, dimmers, welders, adjustable speed drives, etc. This textbook will help you understand the problems and the solutions that are available. Includes textbook and 6-hr video.
