Conduit Bending and Fabrication was developed to help electricians and maintenance technicians learn to accurately bend electrical conduit. The textbook includes numerous step-by-step procedures showing the proper methods of conduit bending. Major emphasis is placed on learning the fundamentals required when bending EMT and rigid conduit. Conduit Bending and Fabrication also covers the operation of mechanical, electric, and hydraulic benders.A CD-ROM is included with the text and contains the following activities: * Quick Quizzes� Illustrated Glossary * Online Bending Calculator * Procedural Videos * Reference Material

Updated to reflect the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC), Ugly’s Conduit Bending, 2020 Edition, is a quick, on-the-job reference specifically designed to provide the most commonly required information on how to properly bend conduit, including information on bending types and techniques. An ideal tool for electricians, contractors, instructors, and students, this essential pocket guide uses diagrams, calculations, illustrations, photos, and quick explanations to ensure bending is completed safely and correctly.

This NEW 4-page guide provides the essential electrical conduit bending information used in architectural plans and engineering drawings. A must have for every electrical contractor.

Piping and Pipeline Calculations Manual, Second Edition provides engineers and designers with a quick reference guide to calculations, codes, and standards applicable to piping systems. The book considers in one handy reference the multitude of pipes, flanges, supports, gaskets, bolts, valves, strainers, flexibles, and expansion joints that make up these often complex systems. It uses hundreds of calculations and examples based on the author's 40 years of experiences as both an engineer and instructor. Each example demonstrates how the code and standard has been correctly and incorrectly applied. Aside from advising on the intent of codes and standards, the book provides advice on compliance. Readers will come away with a clear understanding of how piping systems fail and what the code requires the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector, and owner to do to prevent such failures. The book enhances participants' understanding and application of the spirit of the code or standard and form a plan for compliance. The book covers American Water Works Association standards where they are applicable. - Updates to major codes and standards such as ASME B31.1 and B31.12 - New methods for calculating stress intensification factor (SIF) and seismic activities - Risk-based analysis based on API 579, and B31-G - Covers the Pipeline Safety Act and the creation of PhMSA

A practical blend of theory, diagrams, graphs, drawings, and photos combine in this book to assist readers in developing a complete understanding of all types of electric motors, generators, and alternators. All About Motors comprehensively examines such concepts as magnetic and inductive theory, characteristics of various types of motors, and the speed control of AC and DC motors that provide the necessary background for a thorough understanding of rotating equipment. Basic concepts of rotation are skillfully applied to the complex theories of rotor phase angles and their effect on torque so technicians learn effective service and troubleshooting techniques as well as motor operations. The knowledge gained will give students a foundation to develop into journeymen who can be counted on to successfully handle all aspects of the electrical industry.
