Electricity is a vital energy source for twenty-first-century agriculture. "Electricity for Agricultural Applications" helps readers gain on understanding of this potent resource by explaining the physical and mathematical aspects of electrical power theory, application, and control, as used in agriculture. Hundreds of excellent illustrations, clear descriptions, and well-crafted chapter problems help students understand the theory and enable them to learn design, planning and application procedures quickly and confidently. The text emphasizes safety, underlining the inherent dangers of electricity, and makes use of numerous National Electrical Code citations. The Authors of this core textbook are experienced educators who provide thorough coverage of the topics. Self-printed classroom versions of Electricity for Agricultural Applications have been used with great success by students in both agricultural technology management and agricultural engineering classes.
