"A very useful study aid, the book is ideal for those who have become a little rusty with their calculations and need to remind themselves of the basics." Amazon.co.uk customer review
Product Description
Designed to provide a step-by-step guide to successful application of the electrical installation calculations required in day-to-day electrical engineering practice, the Electrical Installation Calculations series has proved an invaluable reference for over forty years, for both apprentices and professional electrical installation engineers alike.
Now in its seventh edition, Volume 2 has been fully updated in line with the 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008) and references the material covered to the Wiring Regs throughout. The content meets the requirements of the 2330 Level 3 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology from City & Guilds and will also prove a vital purchase for those undertaking Level 3 NVQs in Electrotechnical Services. Essential calculations which may not necessarily feature as part of the requirements of the syllabus are retained for reference by professional electrical installation engineers based in industry, or for those students wishing to progress to higher levels of study.
The book's structure and new design make finding the required calculation easy. Key terms are explained in a glossary section and worked examples and exercises are included throughout the text to maximise accessibility of the material for the reader. A complete question and answer section is included at the back of the book to enable readers to check their understanding of the calculations presented.
Also available: Electrical Installation Calculations Volume 1, 8th edn, by Watkins & Kitcher- the basic calculations required for electrical installation work, and Level 2 study and apprenticeships.
* The established series for carrying out correct electrical installation calculations - continuously in print for over 40 years
* New edition fully up-to-date with 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations
* Matched to the requirements of the City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology (2330)

Format:Paperback
I am an Electrical Installation lecturer and obtained a copy of this book for guidance with examples to deliver to students.
Much to my disbelief, I found numerous exercises to be incorrect. Things like incorrect terminology or just outright skipping of certain essential steps (for example, they have forgotten to add R1&R2 to Ze to work out Zs, and just went ahead and used R1&R2 to work out the fault current).
Mistakes like this are unforgivable, this is why these books are proof read in the first place.
So I have ammended my copy of this book so that I can still use it. However, much to my surprise, I came across a copy of the previous edition (pre 17th) and was amazed to find ALL of the given examples were the same, the only update is changing the voltages from 240V to 230V.
ALL of the previous in-corrections were there and have simply just been reprinted to make more money. This book should be pulled and corrected or scrapped all together.
I always considered the name Chris Kitcher in the same high regard as Brian Scaddan, but this severely damaged his reputation as far as I am concerned.

This book has helped me to work through and understand advanced electrical calculations. Plenty of examples to work through. The theory is explained well.

This is the big sister to the level 2 book.
Electrical Installation Calculations: Basic: For Technical Certificate Level 2 Basic
Both books have been rewritten with a nice clear layout, clear explanations and loads of questions to test your learning. Sections on vectors and lighting calculations especially good.
Excellent formulae book for anyone studying level 3 electrical installation science.Definitely one for the technical library.
