Electrical Principles for the Electrical Trades is now enhanced with McGraw-Hill Education's unique Connect and Connect Plus to provide a complete blended learning solution for Electrical students. This volume presents knowledge and skills specified in units of competency in national training packages for an electrical trade qualification and advanced trade competencies.

Taking on a more practical approach, Electrical Principles for the Electrical Trades now provides students with a range of additional online materials that goes beyond the one-dimensional user experience. This volume is an ideal learning resource for students and trade professionals willing to keep abreast of new developments in Electrotechnology.

Electrical Principles for the Electrical Trades 6th Edition provides a logical learning pathway for Certificate II and III in Electrotechnology in the UEE11 Electrotechnology Training Package. These two volumes are the ideal resource for apprentice and non-apprentice trainees as well as practising tradespeople. This text provides students with the fundamental knowledge needed for a career in the electrical trades.
