Electrical Black Book Aus/NZ 2nd Ed

May 22, 2020 By: Luke (Mandurang South, Australia)

Comments
Good little book, will come in handy just like the other black books.

Pros
Covers just about everything

Cons
There’s a couple of minor mistakes (which may have already been pointed out &/or fixed):
RT equation on p57 (Thevenin’s Theorem) shows R2 as R1.
AWG example on p98 derives an answer of 5 AWG instead of 16 AWG.
Transformer configurations on p169 should be shown below the text.
Transformer voltage table on p170 lists some rarely encountered voltages (e.g. 208V, 2400V), but not 400/415V which is the standard three-phase voltage in Australia. The three-phase transformer current values seem to be wrong also (e.g. a 100kVA transformer is rated at ~140A per phase at 240V, not 241A).

ELECTRICAL BLACK BOOK

Comments
Overall I like the work that was done to come up with this material. However, your website says that the book come with a multimeter. Mine didn't come with it.

Pros
Excellent guide, amazing work, and quality of the paper, handy for anyone working in the field or plant.

Cons
The website or all review said it come with a multimeter,???
 

Brilliant little book for those in the trade

April 26, 2020 By: Sparky (Lamington, Australia)

Comments
Ripper little book to have around that covers a lot of basic topics. Found it a great resource and bought a couple to give to the apprentices as it covers some of those questions they probably aren't up to scratch with and feel embarrassed to ask.

Pros
-Great career steer for young apprentices/TAs/green sparkys
-Lot of niche things like conduit bends and lot of the basic stuff that trade school gives but you forget in time
-Additional resources (drill guides/conversion factors)
-Durable


Cons
-Limited motor theory but enough to get going, great skill for house bashers not exposed to it
-Would be a complete package if there was a basic fault-finding section for mine sparkys to rip into (surprising how many cannot diagnose simple RCD trips in domestic situations logically)
-Some filler material in there for sure
 

AS/NZS Second Edition

April 14, 2020 By: Liam (Perth, Australia)

Comments
Before purchasing the book I was a bit hesitant due to the price. However, since it was Australian specific I bit the bullet and picked up a copy and it is hands down the second-best book investment I have made after the NZS/AS 3008. I would love to see a desktop version in the future.

Pros
. Australian specific, with reference to other countries when relevant
. Alot of relevent laws, rules and formulas

Cons
. No reference to mandatory testing (that I can find)
