Description

Hawkins Electrical Guide v. 04 (of 10) by N. Hawkins is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a progressive course designed for engineers, electricians, and students interested in acquiring a working knowledge of electricity and its applications. The guide discusses complex topics related to electrical distribution systems, wire calculations, and the principles of electrical wiring. At the start of the guide, readers are introduced to the fundamental concepts of electrical distribution systems, outlining various types such as series, parallel, and series-parallel systems. It highlights the importance of these systems in terms of efficiency and safety, particularly in the context of long-distance transmission and its associated costs. Additionally, the opening section sets the stage for more in-depth discussions on wiring methods and materials, as well as the practical considerations involved in the selection and design of electrical systems.
