Machinery's Handbook of Electricity
March 7, 2020
By: John Kesl, Dippin Rings (New York, United States)
Comments
The Electrical Black Book is excellent. It's a must have reference for anyone dealing with electricity. Period. Much like the standard of reference for all things manufacturing The Machinery's Handbook, I'd consider the Electrical Black Book a definitive necessity for electrical reference as none of the information here, is as well compiled or presented elsewhere. The breath of the information compiled is also staggering. From connectors to motors to wire code to drill tap sizes, decimal equivalent and everything in between that's related to or incidental to electricity somehow....which is a lot of extra stuff. The only thing lacking is a listing of all Certification Agencies, such as Intertek, arguably one of the largest, is not listed, credibility aside, as a reference all agencies found on labels as certifiers of fitness should be mentioned.
-Missing some certification agencies such as Intertek (ETL), in the section that deals with such Agencies. Credibility aside all agencies should be listed as they are accredited and allowed to Certify a products fitness. ETL is used by OSHA and hence should at least have mention as well as explanation of difference between them and UL for instance.
