Electric Motors Calculations Workbook

Most electricians think the branch circuit conductor, disconnect, and overcurrent protective device are sized based on the nameplate flc of the motor. If this is you, then this workbook might be just what you need to get motor calculations straight. These calculations are to be calculated based on the NEC table values. Only motor overloads are based on nameplate, with a few exceptions. Aren't there always a few exceptions.

This 144 page workbook contains over 5000 different motor calculations and motor related questions. Answers are provided for each question. Audio support is also available online for every question type. Plus there are hyperlinks to more problems if you need them to get proficient.

2005 National Electrical Code Search Term Index 

Check out this great addition to any 2005 NEC. Certainly the NEC NFPA folks put together a great index to the NEC. But over the years I have found that there are many words, terms and phrases which are not easily found in the index and hence in the code book itself. So many years ago I began gathering unusual words for my own index which would help my electrical students find stuff fast in the NEC while studying and while taking exams. This Search Term Index is an excellent resource when trying to find something in the NEC.

$15 postpaid with USPS Priority Mail included.
This is a list of unusual words found in the National Electrical Code which are not included in the index of the NEC®. The intent is to provide an expanded index to assist in locating sections of the code more quickly. This is a great tool for students and test takers.  There are over 800 entries. The download price is $15 postpaid.  Please suggest more words if you have a minute. You may print this index online for a $2 shareware fee.

2005 NEC® Reference Formulas Appendix 

The National Electrical Code folks are increasing the technical data contained in the code. But they still refuse to add formulas and tables which would make answering questions about electrical work easier to do. Further, they retain the desire that the book remain NOT a manual for untrained persons. So, very few aspects are included in the book to help an electrical instructor train beginning electricians. 

As a pragmatic blue collar worker and electrical instructor of over thirty years, I have brought together in this one booklet, all the formulas that I wish were in the NEC. In addition, I have constructed tables which I feel belong in the code. These tables are of my own invention and derivation. At the back of this book I have included over 2000 unusual words all referenced to the 2005 NEC as a way to find answers to questions about the NEC content. I call it  Search Term Index. None of the content has been submitted to the NFPA, nor has any of the detail been approved by the NFPA. I simply have taken what they have included and amplified that detail.

You may use this credit card button to order this item online. It is $25 postpaid to any USA address. 

Partial Overview

-calculator technique is spelled out step-by-step for substitution algebra         problem  solving.
 -conversion formulas typically needed are included.
 -nipple fill tables to 4 decimal places are found here.
 -household cooking load feeder demand tables are expanded so that                   time-consuming calculations are unnecessary for most exam problems.
 -ohms watts - series parallel circuit formulas are here.
 -a single chart of how to determine wire size, breaker size, service feeder value and neutral is developed.
-alternating current formulas are given in great abundance.
-constants used in voltage drop are calculated and listed.
-transformer formulas for single phase and three phase are complete.
-unusual words not found in the code index or other word indexes are given alphabetically with reference.

Every page is punched for easy insertion in the looseleaf edition of the 2005 Edition of the NEC. To make reading easier, the pages are the same size, same layout, and similar type style to the NEC. The look just like what is included in the code. Finding answers is fast and easy.

This tool belongs in every NEC.

BEGINNER  Electrician Beginner Workbook

You will find a great collection of links to follow for more information about becoming an electrician. Many frequently asked questions with answers are included.  If you plan to ask a question about becoming an electrician,  please read these frequently asked questions and answers BEFORE sending me an email. Then I can be more specific in my answer.

EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN --If you are an experienced electrician and wonder which if any of my materials would help you move toward your next licensing goal, please complete the Diagnostic Exam  BEFORE sending me an email asking what I would recommend to you. I have no way of knowing what your abilities are through an autobiographical email. I often get an email from someone who says they have, say, ten years of electrical experience. This 10 years could be ten great years with a variety of work types, or the 10 years could be the first six months of house wiring twenty times. There really is a difference. Some people take apprenticeship. Many do not.  Some people do not know what the NEC is and others are experts. Some people did not finish high school. Some are even college graduates. No matter. What is important are the results obtained on the Diagnostic Exam. Please do not expect me to offer suggestions on what you should study based on an email without some substance. Use the form HERE to tell me the number correct you got for each of the 25 question types. Journeymen do the first 20 only. Masters candidates and inspector candidates do all 25 questions.

Mission Statement

---I strive to provide quality study materials, classes, and tutoring at   reasonable prices to help working electricians become licensed as Journeymen Electricians, Master Electricians, and Electrical Inspectors.

---I sponsor and instruct approved continuing education classes which meet the requirements of local, municipal, and state agencies for license renewal.

---I offer skill update opportunities to all working electricians on topics of current interest.

---I conduct code update workshops upon publication of each new National Electrical Code®.

With more than thirty years of electrical classroom experience, I have developed workbooks which will aid anyone who needs practice with theory, code, and calculations to prepare to take and pass electrician license exams.  A licensed electrician since 1969 with a degree in Trade and Technical Education, I recognize the need for ample practice prior to taking any license exam. The materials described on the following pages reflects what has worked well to prepare my students through the years to be successful on exams.   I do not offer text books. There are many good books available from Amazon.com.  

Click HERE FOR TEXTBOOK RECOMMENDATIONS.  

But I do offer these workbooks to anyone interested in self study  who needs to build confidence. These workbooks give everyone the chance to practice on fresh questions to truly test comprehension. Repetition. That's what my workbooks can give to a learner. All the material I offer is comprehensive. Do not bother with my stuff if you are looking for a short cut. I figure a short cut may get you where you want to go fast, but you might not know enough to stay there when you get there. Why not lay a firm foundation upon which to base your career? Nope. You want a two hour refresher, go somewhere else. My stuff demands hours of butt on chair, brain engaged.

Guarantee

All materials for sale through this site are 100% satisfaction guaranteed.  A full refund less postage will be made upon return of the materials when received in the same condition as sent. No questions asked.

Since I have no control over what you might link to through hyperlinks to other sites, I am not responsible for what you find there. But I do review links from time to time so click in confidence.

And chances are, if you are like me, you know how to do many of the skilled trades needed to improve a house. Well, why not take advantage of those skills to make some money.

If there was one suggestion I would make to all fellow electricians, it would be to build a new house for yourself, by yourself. So what if it takes a couple years. Do the work as you have the cash. Stay away from a mortgage. I did.
