Learn the chief principles of electrical engineering in practical terms. This edition focuses on safety, measurement, and real-world applications for the trades.
This book presents essential concepts for anyone working with electric power and equipment. It covers high–tension systems, protective design, and practical devices used in industry and testing. Clear explanations help readers understand insulation, safety rules, and how measuring instruments and transformers work in everyday settings.
- How high‑tension systems are built and kept safe
- How meters, transformers, and protective devices function in the field
- The role of lightning arresters, fuses, and safety practices
- How accumulators and storage batteries support stations, vehicles, and portable power
Ideal for readers of electrical trades, students in training, and professionals seeking practical grounding in the subject.

Excerpt from Electrical Engineering: An Elementary Text-Book Suitable for Persons Employed in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Trades, for Elementary Students of Electrical Engineering, and for All Who Wish to Acquire a Knowledge of the Chief Principles and Practice of the Subject
About laying mains and about installation material but little is said in this book. The necessary information may be found else where.
Although this book is chiefly for electrical men and for those who intend to become such, yet the general public desiring to get some general information about Electrical Engineering will read the book with advantage. I am also In hope that in some of the chapters useful hints may be found by the educated electrical engineer.

Excerpt from Electrical Engineering: An Elementary Text-Book
This book had its origin in a number of lectures which I delivered two years ago to the workmen and the staff of a large electrical manufacturing firm. The circle of readers for which this book is intended is, in the first place, the same as that to which my audience belonged. It should give to workmen of electrical engineering works the knowledge of the operation of machines and apparatus with which they are concerned. I have endeavoured to use such language that people who have only a general school education should be able to understand. For this reason several matters have been dealt with very completely which, to the mathematically educated man, could have been explained in a few lines - such as, for instance, Ohm's Law and resistance calculations. I have in these cases endeavoured to explain the matter first without the help of mathematics, and then have finally, as a keystone - after having worked some examples - stated the formulæ. In the part relating to the "output of a three-phase current system," in a similar way, there are calculations and formulæ, since it is necessary for the student to be acquainted with these. Generally, however, calculations and formulæ are avoided, as in the case of the whole chapter about dynamos. The book will not enable the reader to calculate the parts and windings of dynamos, and he should not even think that he is able to do so. For the elementary student, the wireman, for the engineer as well as for the general public who desire to know something about electrical engineering, it is quite sufficient if they understand the working of dynamos, their faults, and the reason and the cure of the latter.
The book covers a wide area.
