Customer Reviews:
do your own searching.......2005-03-30
A fair amount of this book could be determined by you through a focused web search. The lists of websites provided in the book is nice, but active searching can be more effective. While it can be argued that the author is offering his expertise as a filter of what is available on the web, you may learn more by conducting your own study.
However, if you are pressed for time, and need a synopsis of what types of computer jobs you might be interested in, then the book might prove useful.
Product Description
Published exclusively by the IEEE, the 2007 NESC is the single most important document for safeguarding persons against electrical hazards during the installation, operation and maintenance of electric supply and communication lines. More importantly, it contains extensive updates and critical revisions that directly impact the power utility industry. Adopted by law by the majority of states and Public Service Commissions across the US, the NESC is a performance code considered to be the authoritative source on good electrical engineering practice, for over 90 years.
This standard covers basic provisions for safeguarding of persons from hazards arising from the installation, operation, or maintenance of 1) conductors and equipment in electric supply stations, and 2) overhead and underground electric supply and communication lines. It also includes work rules for the construction, maintenance, and operation of electric supply and communication lines and equipment. The standard is applicable to the systems and equipment operated by utilities, or similar systems and equipment, of an industrial establishment or complex under the control of qualified persons. This standard consists of the introduction, definitions, grounding rules, list of referenced and bibliographic documents, and Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the 2007 Edition of the National Electrical Safety Code.

Book Description
Current, comprehensive, and undoubtedly practical, this unique reference will help engineers and technicians make more intelligent decisions with regard to capacity, speed, and cost parameters as they wire, design, and install modern media systems. Unlike other books which treat the topic theoretically, this guide clearly explains exactly what to do. It includes extensive and invaluable data charts on currently available wire, cable, and fiber, and covers all major A/V interconnection solutions.
Customer Reviews:
Good For Facility Planners.......2002-11-13
I bought this book before wiring up a major radio studio facility. I read the whole thing cover-to-cover. The parts about audio wiring and audio cables were well worth the money. I would recommend this book to audio engineers. In fact, this book was recommended to ME by a fellow radio engineer!
The sensible book on cabling you're looking for.......2000-05-26
It is so hard to find anything useful written on the top of audio cabling, especially when so much of it is marketing hype written by people whose understanding of electrical and audio engineering seems to have been derived from a careful study of science fiction. Lampen's book, on the other hand, is a handy, concise, and well illustrated reference for the guy (or gal) who needs to plug one sound creating doodad into another. And it's clear and well-written to boot!
The wonderful world of wire........1999-10-25
wow... what an eye opening book. i heartily recommend this text to anyone looking to learn more about the joys of wire.

The design examples may be put to immediate use or may be modified to meet a specific design goal. As an instructional text for those unfamiliar with switching supplies, or as a reference for those in need of a refresher, this unique book is essential for those involved in switching power-supply design.
Describes the operation of each circuit in detail.
Examines a wide selection of external components that modify the IC package characteristics.
Provides hands-on, essential information for designing a switching power supply.
Customer Reviews:
Legally damaging, wrong information.......2006-06-15
Somebody needs to hold this author accountable for disseminating wrong information. This book should be pulled from the market and buyers compensated.
If you were to take legal action against the author, I think you would have little trouble winning , for all the errors he's got in there.
Some nerve, he knows nothing.
I encourage all to return their copy, like I did.
SIMPLIFIED DESIGN OF SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES.......2003-09-13
This book claims on the back cover that: "This unique book describes the operation of each circuit in detail, requiring no previous design experience to use the techniques."
I was surprised at the technical errors contained in this book. If you do have previous design experience you will be surprised to see the very obvious errors in equations and schematic diagrams.
The best sections of this book are the application note snippets from several manufacturers. I would suggest that the reader would be better served and educated by reading the manufacturers application notes and data sheets that are far better in terms of correctness and more up to date on current technology and will give you the full in-context application notes found in this book.

LAME!.......2000-11-02
I bought this book to learn about switching power supplies. The types are not dicussed. The formulas given to calculate inductor values generate results that contradict each other and don't make sense. Reads like a poorly written application note.
Stay Away From This Book!.......2000-05-11
I have many books on this subject. This is by far the worst. Itis more like a compilation of manufacturer's application notes fortheir ICs than a text book. He doesn't even cover off-line switchers!

Book Description
Electronics for Service Engineers is the first text designed specifically for the Level 2 NVQs in Electronics Servicing. It provides the underpinning knowledge required by brown goods and white goods students, reflecting the popularity of the EMTA white goods NVQs. It has also been written in the light of the new EEB / City & Guilds Level 2 progression award (RVQ) for brown goods and commercial electronics, dubbed 'son of 2240', and the existing 2240 part 1.
The wide ranging experience of the authors makes this a readable book with much relevance to the real-life challenges of the service engineer. From simple mathematics and circuit theory to transmission theory and aerials, from health and safety to logic gates and transducers, the complete range of knowledge required to service electronic and electrical equipment is here. This practical emphasis makes the book ideal for existing service engineers seeking to gain an NVQ.
Numerous questions and worked examples throughout the text allow readers to monitor their own progress, and provide practice for C&G tests.
Joe Cieszynski and Dave Fox have a wide mix of experience, both in the field and workshop working on TV and audio, and teaching electronic servicing and security installation at MANCAT. Joe writes regularly for Television magazine.
Matched to Level 2 NVQs, the new RVQ syllabus and C&G 2240 pt.1
Strong practical and professional treatment of subjectA book that is both suitable for white goods (washing machines, fridges etc) as well as brown goods (televisions, hi-fi, consumer electronics) and commercial goods.
Book Description
A series of Guidance Notes has been issued, each of which enlarges upon and amplifies the particular requirements of a part of BS 7671:2001 (IEE Wiring Regulations, 16th Edition). Each of these Guides is extensively cross-referenced to the Regulations thus providing convenient and ready access. Some Guidance Notes contain information not included in the 16th Edition but which was included in earlier editions of the IEE Wiring Regulations. All the guides have been updated to align with BS 7671: 2001.
