OverviewAppropriate for introductory courses in heating, ventilating, and air- conditioning (HVAC) that have a strong electrical component. It is also useful for introductory courses in mechanical engineering technologies. The most comprehensive, practical, hands-on electrical text for “non-electrical” majors in mechanical engineering and HVAC technologies courses that contain a strong electrical component through their heavy dependence on electrical motors and controls. This book will serve the beginning student as a learning tool and the practicing tradesperson or professional as a valuable reference.
