This book is a companion to volume 6 (basic electrotechnology for engineers) and covers more aspects of the theory of Electrotechnology. The syllabus followed is close to that of electrical engineering for marine engineer cadets (Phase 3)of the Alternative Training Scheme and covers more fully the requirements of the Departments of Trade syllabuses of Electrotechnology for first and second class marine engineers.
It anticipates future extensions of these syllabuses and deals with Brushless A C Generators, Excitation Systems for marine alternators and semiconductore theory relating to the diode, transistor and the thyristor. It will also be of great value to students studying for the extra first class engineers certificate.
