Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting your journey in the electrical trade, you understand the power of numbers! You know that math and basic electrical concepts are very similar to the foundation of a building - they are the essential basics that you build on as you study electrical circuits and systems. Our latest free PDF extract is to introduce you (or re-introduce you) to those very basics. I hope you find it has value.

You’ll be amazed at how often your electrical daily work and studies return to the basics of math. Ohm’s law and the electrical formulas related to it are the foundation of all electrical circuits. The more you understand, the more you’ll find that a good foundation in electrical theory, and especially math, will help you understand why the NEC® contains certain provisions. Once you know the principles behind how electricity works, you will be ready to correctly apply the rules in the National Electrical Code® to the work you do every day.

This free PDF, which is extracted from Mike Holt's Understanding Electrical Theory, for NEC Applications, covers Basic Math, Trigonometry, Ohm's Law, and Watt's Law.

Take it one step further - invest in the Electrical Theory Video Program. Many people in the trade don’t have the information they need to be successful; it’s a mix of math, science, mechanics, the National Electrical Code, problem solving, and electrical safety that are all required to complete a successful installation. Mike Holt's textbook, Understanding Electrical Theory, for NEC Applications, was designed to give you that information. The textbook will help you understand what electricity is, how it’s produced and how it’s used. You’ll learn to perform basic electrical calculations necessary for everyday work, what those calculations tell you about how electricity flows in a circuit, and why it’s always trying to return to its source. You'll discover why blinking lights, buzzing relays, hot wires and tripping breakers, all have one thing in common—they are the visible result of science and some basic math applied to an installation. If you don’t understand how and why these things are happening, you’re at a big disadvantage when it comes to troubleshooting and you may unintentionally place yourself or someone else in danger of injury or possibly even death. This makes it important for every electrician to learn the fundamentals of electricity to take themselves from being an installer who doesn’t understand what’s happening, to an electrician who can understand even the most complex situations.
