Basic Electrical Theory: Circuits, Systems, and Protection

This volume covers series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits, multiwire circuits, the electrical system and protection devices. You’ll learn how a fuse differs from a circuit breaker, how to select a circuit breaker, and what makes it work. You’ll understand the role of circuit overcurrent protection in clearing ground faults and some critical facts about grounding. Includes one 4.5 hour DVD.

The presenter was frequently corrected by his panelists. Some of the illustrations were incorrect and the presenter made verbal notes that they needed to be corrected - made this appear to be a "rough-draft" of a final version to come later?

Very usable information and was presented in a non-technical format. I think anyone could learn from this program!

Thanks

There was excellent coverage of the material. Mike and his panel are clearly trying to help people into the electrical field. Mike is a real nice guy and thoughtfully takes the fear out of learning electricity and what to expect in the field. I would highly recommend his videos to all. I will be renting and would even buy all his videos if I had the money.
