DELMAR’S STANDARD TEXTBOOK OF ELECTRICITY, 7E by Stephen Herman offers a comprehensive approach to preparing students for real-world electrical practice. This edition expertly combines foundational electrical theory with essential practical “how-to” information.

The author thoughtfully limits mathematical complexity to basic algebra and trigonometry, providing clear, step-by-step examples to aid understanding. Students will benefit from quality schematics and illustrations that guide them through fundamental concepts such as basic electrical circuits, DC and AC theory, and various equipment including meters, transformers, and motors.
The textbook features numerous examples that demonstrate how to complete common tasks performed by electricians, fostering practical skills. Each unit is designed to be succinct, covering only one or two topics to ensure maximum clarity and comprehension. Additionally, this edition incorporates new coverage on spike and surge protection and motor installation, fully complying with the 2017 NEC standards. Enhanced learning opportunities are available through accompanying MindTap online resources, which provide interactive multimedia, customization options, and tools to track and report progress.
