Electrotechnology Practice 6th Edition by Steven Hanssen/Jeffery Hampson
Quick Navigation

Overview

Electrotechnology Practice is a practical text that accompanies Hanssen/Hampson’s theoretical Electrical Trade Principles. It covers essential units of competency for the Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician (UEE30820). Aligned with the latest Australian and New Zealand standards, the text references the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000:2018) and follows the uniform structure and system of delivery as recommended by the nationally accredited vocational education and training authorities. More than 1000 illustrations convey to the learner various concepts and real-world aspects of electrical practices, a range of fully worked examples – including engineering mathematical fundamentals – and review questions support student learning, while assessment-style worksheets support the volume of assessment. Electrotechnology Practice has strong coverage of the electives for Certificate II and Certificate III, preparing students to eligibly sit for the Capstone Assessment or the Licenced Electrician’s Assessment (LEA) as a mandatory requirement to apply for an Electrician’s Licence. Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.
