Quick Navigation

Overview

Electrical Trade Practices, 3e by Berry, Cahill and Chadwick is written to the core practical units of competency from the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package (UEE30820). Assisting apprentice electricians undertaking studies in Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician, this text offers simple explanations and clear diagrams to make it easier to

understand technical concepts.

The content covers all aspects related to most of the core competency units, coverage of AS/NZS 3000:2018, Electrical installations (Wiring Rules), and the text and illustrations follow the layout of the required knowledge and skills as set out in each competency of the Training Package.

Just the right amount of technical content has been presented without going into detail on concepts or topics that are not relevant to the student or the associated unit of competency.

Electrical Trade Practices is the practical volume that accompanies Phillips, Electrical Principles.

Accompanying resources for the instructor include mapping grid, solutions manual and downloadable PDF worksheets. Premium Instructor Resource Pack includes PowerPoints and Test Bank.

Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.
