<DIV><P>A companion to Volume 6 (<I>Basic Electrotechnology for Engineers</I>) this book <B>covers more aspects of the theory of Electrotechnology</B>. The syllabus is close to that of <I>Electrical Engineering for Marine Engineer Cadets </I>(Phase 3) of the Alternative Training Scheme and covers more fully the requirements of the DoT syllabus for Class 1 and Class 2 Marine Engineers. Students studying for the Extra First Class Engineers' Certificate will also find it of value.</P><br><P>It anticipates future extensions of these syllabuses and deals with brushless AC generators, excitation systems for marine alternators, and semiconductor theory relating to the diode, transistor and the thyristor. </P><br><P>Numerous fully-worked problems are included in the text as well as test examples and typical examination questions with solutions.</P></DIV>
