ABSTRACT
The
Electrical Science Fundamentals Handbook
was developed to assist nuclear facilityoperating contractors provide operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff withthe necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of electrical theory,terminology, and application. The handbook includes information on alternating current (AC)and direct current (DC) theory, circuits, motors, and generators; AC power and reactivecomponents; batteries; AC and DC voltage regulators; transformers; and electrical testinstruments and measuring devices. This information will provide personnel with a foundationfor understanding the basic operation of various types of DOE nuclear facility electricalequipment.
