The Hawkins Electrical Guide was a technical engineering book written by Nehemiah Hawkins, first published in 1914, intended to explain the highly complex principles of the new technology of electricity in a way that could be understood by the common man.
A set of wiring diagrams may be required by the electrical inspection authority to approve connection of the residence to the public electrical supply system. Wiring diagrams will also include panel schedules for circuit breaker panelboards, and riser diagrams for special services such as fire alarm or closed-circuit television or other special ...
According to a 1998 review of the second edition, [6] the first edition "has not aged" and was "the best introductory textbook I have seen". The reviewer points out that the Berkeley Physics Series limitations and the book's dearth of references to wave phenomena are its two biggest issues. The review states that the "results are spectacular ...
A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations ...
Furnaces, electric water heaters, heat pumps, central air conditioning units, electric dryers, electric stoves or cooktops, and built-in microwave ovens must be on dedicated circuits. The code provides rules for sizing electrical boxes for the number of wires and wiring devices in the box.

Electrical panels, cables and firestops in an electrical service room at a paper mill in Ontario, Canada. Electrical panels are easily accessible junction boxes used to reroute and switch electrical services. The term is often used to refer to circuit breaker panels or fuseboxes. Local codes can specify physical clearance around the panels.
The book covers many areas of circuit design, from basic DC voltage, current, and resistance, to active filters and oscillators, to digital electronics, including microprocessors and digital bus interfacing. It also includes discussions of such often-neglected areas as high-frequency, high-speed design techniques and low-power applications.
