5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD FOR ALL SKILLS, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Power Supplies, 2E (Paperback)

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK. IT NOT ONLY GIVES INFORMATION ABOUT POWER SUPPLIES BUT IT ALSO EXPLAINS HOW TO BUILD THEM. THE INFORMATION IS PUT RIGHT IN WITH THE STEPS SO YOU LEARN ABOUT SOMETHING AS YOU BUILD IT. IT HAS INFORMATION, ASSEMBLY STEPS, REQUIRED PARTS, AND STEPS TO UP THE POWER ON PRE-EXISTING POWER SUPPLIES. IT SHOWS, IN DETAIL, ON HOW TO CALIBRATE AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR POWER SUPPLIES. LOTS OF DIAGRAMS. THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL IN ASSEMBLY BUT SOME, NOT MANY, CAN BE CONFUSING.
