This is the most useful tool I own as an electrical engineer

November 23, 2021 By: Magnolia Cook (Englewood , United States)

Comments
I truly can’t believe something so perfect is able to exist in this world. It’s like a vibrant double-rainbow, a chance encounter with a newborn dolphin, or a fox that plays peek-a-boo with you through the kitchen window; it’s one of a handful of rare miracles that a single person will get to experience in their lifetime. I cherish this book and take it with me everywhere, whether that’s at my desk, in the field, or tucked underneath my pillow for better dreams.

Pros
In all honesty, I love this book. It has every formula I have ever needed to use as a working engineer. I reference the conductor ampacity, motor FLA, and formulae sections very frequently, with occasional flipping around for other useful power and lighting information. It fits perfectly in my back pocket while still being incredibly readable. The bookmark tabs help you personalize the book to your specific engineering needs, and the pages are very hard to damage, making it a great pocket reference in the shop or the field. This is hands down the best electrical engineering all-in-one reference I have ever seen in my life.

Cons
My one and ONLY gripe with this book is the spiral binding; the pages tend to get caught around it and come loose from the binding. A continuous spiral binding, rather than having the ends disconnected, could solve this problem.

This book has everything an electrician, or anyone that works in the electrical field. As the shop supervisor I have ordered a couple and intend on ordering more.

Really good tool!

July 30, 2021 By: Daniel Langlois (Winter Haven, United States)

Comments
The book covers just about everything an electrician may have to "google" on the job, but doesn't require batteries or network connection

Pros
Well organized, the sticker tab page was a nice little surprise, like finding the toy at the bottom of the cereal box as a kid.

Cons
Paper a little thin, but to keep the book to pocket size, understandable.
 

Invaluable

Not enough history and background.
 

Fantastic Book

July 12, 2021 By: Mark Bomboy, Oklahoma Historical Society (Newalla, United States)

Comments
This is a great book. I’m never quite sure what will come next with my job. So I’m always collecting reference books. This is a must have book if you’ll be doing anything electrical.

Pros
Everything is easily accessible. Personalization is simple with the included page tabs so you can find the pages you frequently use.

Cons
It could use a bit more info on circuits, like op amps and timers.
 

Good reference

June 29, 2021 By: Bryce Billing (Melbourne, Australia)

Comments
Good reference material

Pros
Great charts and reference material, references relevant sections of standards, seems to have everything you need

Cons
Could use a staggered index, rather than self applicated stickers which will get damaged.
Purchased in June 2021 and it still is not updated for new AS/NZS 3000:2018 standard, so all numbers need to be double checked, which is disappointing.

Plethora of knowledge

May 30, 2021 By: Barry Hann (San Jose, United States)

Comments
I have to say this book has shown me a bit of information I have not even thought about. But my opinion I would have added a few other topics, or it just Maybe a topic that would have its own book. Like the wire or cable casing materials, how to read the stamped code on the jacket. Possibly include pin-outs and bundle the color code identifications for wire/ cable and misc components.

Pros
All in all it's a outstanding put together book that puts a majority of Information one would need right in your palm.

Cons
As mentioned above, relating to my opinion.
