Hi All,

Great forum, thank you to those who make it possible,
newby here, hoping to become a sparky soon,
I know there is no substitute for proper training and official publications but I am hopeful that one of you - good people - will recommend a book(s) that will help with becoming an electrician?

many thanks

This is a good read

Andrew Butler Basic Electrical formulae. All the calcs you will need for your course with worked examples. Indispensable in my opinion for learners. Oh and yes it is old but the basic science and formulae have not changed one whit. Also have a look at Electrical Installation Calculations A. J. Watkins and C. Kitcher, more extensive than the first mentioned includes other matters which will help no end.

Hi everyone!
I am new in this forum, that's why sorry if I am writing to the wrong thread.

I work at Yeoju Technical Institute in Tashkent, and we're pretty young (opened last year)
There is a faculty of Renewable Energy in our institute, and we lack books for this faculty. In particular, we don't have yet books for the course of "Electrical Equipment". Can you suggest books for this course?

The syllabus of the course is:

Spoiler: The syllabus of the course

Wiring materials and tools
Connection of wires

Duct construction
Cable construction
Grounding construction

I'll see if I can find them on amazon and link to them, a lot of people sell them 2nd hand on there. I'm sure not as cheap as free from a library mind!

@Lou - get the name of these books and stick them in the resources area with links to Amazon please.
