Preface
This book, now up to its fourth edition, presents the core knowledge component for
the Electrical Trades course as required by Training Package UEE11. Like the previous
editions, this new edition is written with the student in mind. Electricity is a source of
invisible energy, which is why the Electrical Trades is different to many other areas
of learning. Therefore, it is important to make a textbook about electricity as easy to
understand as possible. As in all previous editions of this book, the writing style is aimed
at Certificate III level while retaining the terminology used in the Electrical Trades. As well,
the technical content never exceeds that of Certificate III level and there are over 800
illustrations or photos integrated with the text to explain a topic.
In preparing this fourth edition, I have been greatly helped by feedback from teachers.
While there are no major changes to the book, there are lots of smaller changes, many
based on teacher feedback. Most of the review questions are new, with a focus on real
world situations. All questions can be answered by referring to the text and the examples,
to avoid the frustration of being unable to find the necessary information. Some parts
have been rewritten to reduce the number of words or to add bullet points to improve
clarity. Many illustrations have been revised, and a few new ones have been added. Where
applicable, the technical content has been updated, especially in Chapter 25.
This book coincides with the 2018 edition of the AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules,
and all references to these rules are now updated. An important aspect is safety, and there
is greater reference in this new edition to the safety aspects associated with electricity. A
new feature is the FYI margin boxes, which give additional and brief information about a
particular item or topic. Reference to sustainability is also increased. An important update
is including useful internet sites, in particular YouTube videos. There are many YouTube
videos on electrical theory, but a lot of these are poorly presented or are of too high a
level. All of the suggested YouTube videos and websites have been reviewed, and some
of these give an excellent overview of a topic. These can be accessed using a mobile
phone via a QR code.
The sequence of information in this book has not changed. The first eight chapters
cover DC theory, perhaps the most important part of electrical theory. Understanding
Ohm’s law and all its possibilities is essential to a full understanding of electricity, which
is why this topic occupies a third of the book. Teachers are not obliged to follow the
sequence in this book which is based on that followed by a number of colleges I have been
associated with. Topics are presented in chapters, which can be presented in the order
that suits the college. My sincere thanks to those teachers who have made suggestions
that make this fourth edition that little bit better than the previous editions.

About the author


Peter Phillips began his working life as an apprentice electrical fitter at a large
manufacturing plant at Lithgow NSW. After completing his apprenticeship, he spent over
eight years working in various power stations, before starting his TAFE NSW teaching
career in 1974, where he taught a wide range of electrical subjects in various colleges
in NSW. He held numerous teaching and supervisory positions and became involved
in curriculum development during the 1990s, when the National Curriculum was being
introduced. In 1994, after leaving TAFE NSW, he started his own company that offered
services ranging from curriculum development to producing training resources.
He has written extensively for technical magazines and helped develop various Training
Packages and their support documentation, along with working in curriculum areas
associated with the manufacturing sector. As a result, he travelled extensively throughout
Australia, visiting a wide variety of manufacturing industries and RTOs. His first textbook,
Electrical Fundamentals, was released in 1993, and became a bestseller. It was followed
by a series of books for the Electrotechnology industry, with the series winning an award
in 1998. The second edition of Electrical Principles won two awards in 2014 and the third
edition was also equally awarded.
Peter remains actively connected to the electrical industry, and meets regularly
with trainers and others involved with the Electrical Training Package. He maintains his
connections with TAFE NSW and is widely known through his writings and involvement
in tertiary education. He holds a Bachelor of Education (Distinction) and a wide range
of technical qualifications including Electrical Trades, Advanced Diploma of Engineering,
Industrial Electronics and other Certificate IV qualifications. He was awarded a doctorate
by Sydney University in 2017.

Working with electricity has its own special hazards, as well as those associated with other
industries. For example, working on a roof near overhead power lines, where there’s a risk of
falling and a risk of electric shock. The important thing, before starting any electrical work, is
to first identify the hazards and assess the risk associated with each hazard. Some employers
require work teams to complete hazard and risk identification paperwork before starting a

THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

This chapter provides an introduction to the electrotechnology


industry and two important laws that cover the entire workforce:
workplace safety and environmental legislation. The meaning of
terms such as voltage, current and resistance, the difference between
a conductor and an insulator, and what is meant by an open-circuit
and a short-circuit are also described. The electric circuit and some
electrical component symbols are presented, but first we look at how
electrical power reaches our homes.

1.1 The electrotechnology industry


Electricity is our most convenient form of energy. In Australia, coal and gas-fired power stations
produce about three quarters of the nation’s electrical power, supplemented by wind farms, solar
panels, hydro, solar thermal and biogas power generation. Electricity is transmitted from these
many generating sources to all parts of the country over high voltage power transmission lines.
These lines supply power to substations, which convert the high voltage to a more suitable voltage
and distribute the electrical power to homes, industry and commerce.
Figure 1.1 is a simplified diagram showing how power is distributed by way of overhead and
underground cables. Substation, pole mounted and street transformers change the voltage at each
stage, so that homes are supplied with 230 V AC. There’s a lot more to it, and a common factor in
the electrotechnology industry is the need to understand the principles of electricity.

The electrotechnology industry can be divided into two industrial groups – electrical and
electronic. There are nearly 20 electrotechnology career opportunities, and knowing about
electricity is important in all of them.

The electrical industry


The electrical industry can be divided into three main areas:
• Electrical supply covers power generation, transmission and distribution and includes power
stations, the transmission of electrical power throughout the country and the distribution of
electrical power to homes and industry. The supply industry includes statutory authorities
such as Transgrid (in New South Wales), Powerlink (Queensland), Western Power (Western
Australia), SA Power Networks (South Australia) and AusNet Services (Victoria) which are
responsible for operating and managing the high voltage networks that connect generators,
distributors and major end users such as large industries. The state-owned transmission
networks are interconnected and are under the management of Australia’s National Electricity
Market (NEM) authority. Power distribution is done by energy companies, who are responsible
for distributing electrical power to all end users, including commerce, industry and homes.
• Industrial which involves installing and maintaining electrical machinery and electrical wiring
in factories and industrial complexes. Large industries, such as mining, often employ fulltime

electricians. This sector includes instrumentation, which can involve installing, calibrating
and maintaining measuring instruments typically used in the manufacturing and processing
industries. An important sector is the lift industry, which involves installation, commissioning
and maintaining lifts, escalators, motorised walkways and the like. The refrigeration industry
is also part of the electrical industry, and includes installing and servicing refrigeration and air
conditioning systems.
• Commercial and domestic covers the installation of wiring (lighting, power, data) and the
installation and repair of appliances such as stoves, lighting installations and some types of
motorised equipment. Those working in this field are usually known as electrical contractors, and
are required to have a licence when installing wiring that connects to the electrical supply lines.

The electronics industry


The electronics and electrical industry groups are closely related. Sometimes the tasks are similar,
such as installing cabling, where an electrician might install the power wiring and an electronics
technician is responsible for installing other wiring, such as phone lines, computer networks and the
like. Similarly, an electrician would service and repair electric motors, while an electronics technician
might look after the motor’s electronic control system. It is not unusual for those working in the
electrotechnology industry to learn both sets of skills. The electronics industry is divided into various
areas such as:
• data and voice communications which includes radio and TV stations, telecommunications
(telephones, satellite links), marine and aviation communications, mobile phones, taxis, police
and other communication systems
• consumer electronics such as repair and maintenance of TV/video systems, sound equipment,
radio and other electronic appliances used in the home
• commercial electronics such as repairing and servicing photocopiers, cash registers and
similar electronic equipment used by business and light industry
• computer system installation, repair and servicing (IT industry)
• industrial which covers working with electronic systems used in industry, such as electronic
motor control systems, computer controlled machinery, conveyor systems and so on.
• security which includes installation, repair and maintenance of domestic and commercial
security systems.

Preface.

This translation of the First Book of the “Lemegeton” which is now


for the first time made accessible to students of Talismanic Magic
was done, after careful collation and edition, from numerous Ancient
Manuscripts in Hebrew, Latin, and French, by G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F., by
the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosicrucian Order.[1] The G. H.
Fra., having succumbed unhappily to the assaults of the Four Great
Princes (acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed
expedient that the work should be brought to its conclusion by
another hand. The investigation of a competent Skryer into the
house of our unhappy Fra., confirmed this divination; neither our Fra.
nor his Hermetic Mul. were there seen; but only the terrible shapes
of the evil Adepts S.V.A.[2] and H., whose original bodies having been
sequestered by Justice, were no longer of use to them. On this we
stayed no longer Our Hand; but withdrawing Ourselves, and
consulting the Rota, and the Books M. and Q. did decide to ask Mr.
Aleister Crowley, a poet, and skilled student of Magical Lore, and an
expert Kabbalist, to complete openly that which had been begun in
secret.[3] This is that which is written: “His Bishoprick let another
take.” And again: “Oculi Tetragammaton.” This is also that which is
said: “Nomen Secundum refertur ad Gebhurah; qui est Rex Bittul
atque Corruptio Achurajim Patris et Matris hoc indigitatur.”
And so saying we wish you well.

PRELIMINARY INVOCATION.

Thee I invoke, the Bornless one.


Thee, that didst create the Earth and the Heavens:
Thee, that didst create the Night and the Day.
Thee, that didst create the Darkness and the Light.
Thou art Osorronophris: Whom no man has seen at any time.
Thou art Jäbas
Thou art Jäpōs:
Thou hast distinguished between the Just and the Unjust.
Thou didst make the Female and the Male.
Thou didst produce the Seed and the Fruit.
Thou didst form Men to love one another, and to hate one
another.

I am Mosheh Thy Prophet, unto Whom Thou didst commit Thy


Mysteries, the Ceremonies of Ishrael:
Thou didst produce the moist and the dry, and that which nourisheth
all created Life.
Hear Thou Me, for I am the Angel of Paphrō Osorronophris: this is
Thy True Name, handed down to the Prophets of Ishrael.

Hear Me:—
Ar: Thiao: Rheibet: Atheleberseth:
A: Blatha: Abeu: Ebeu: Phi:
Thitasoe: Ib: Thiao.
Hear Me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me: so that every Spirit of
the Firmament and of the Ether; upon the Earth and under the Earth:
on dry Land and in the Water: of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire:
and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me.

I invoke Thee, the Terrible and Invisible God: Who dwellest in the
Void Place of the Spirit:—
Arogogorobraō: Sothou:
Modoriō: Phalarthaō: Döö: Apé, The Bornless One:
Hear Me: etc.

Hear me:—
Roubriaō: Mariōdam: Balbnabaoth: Assalonai: Aphniaō: I: Thoteth:
Abrasar: Aëöōü: Ischure, Mighty and Bornless One!
Hear me: etc.

I invoke thee:—

Ma: Barraiō: Jōēl: Kotha:


Athorēbalō: Abraoth:

Hear Me: etc.

Hear me!
Aōth: Abaōth: Basum: Isak:
Sabaoth: Iao:

This is the Lord of the Gods:


This is the Lord of the Universe:
This is He Whom the Winds fear.

This is He, Who having made Voice by His Commandment, is Lord


of All Things; King, Ruler and Helper.
Hear Me, etc.

Hear Me:—
Ieou: Pūr: Iou: Pūr: Iaōt: Iaeō: Ioou: Abrasar: Sabriam: Do: Uu:
Adonaie: Ede: Edu: Angelos ton Theon: Aniaia Lai: Gaia: Ape:
Diathanna Thorun.

I am He! the Bornless Spirit! having sight in the feet: Strong, and the
Immortal Fire!
I am He! the Truth!
I am He! Who hate that evil should be wrought in the World!
I am He, that lighteneth and thundereth.
I am He, from Whom is the Shower of the Life of Earth:
I am He, Whose mouth ever flameth:
I am He, the Begetter and Manifester unto the Light:
I am He; the Grace of the World:

“The Heart Girt with a Serpent” is My Name!

Come Thou forth, and follow Me: and make all Spirits subject unto
Me so that every Spirit of the Firmament, and of the Ether: upon the
Earth and under the Earth: on dry Land, or in the Water: of whirling
Air or of rushing Fire: and every Spell and Scourge of God, may be
obedient unto me!

Iao: Sabao:

Such are the Words!

THE INITIATED INTERPRETATION OF
CEREMONIAL MAGIC.

It is loftily amusing to the student of Magical literature who is not


quite a fool—and rare is such a combination!—to note the criticism
directed by the Philistine against the citadel of his science. Truly,
since our childhood has ingrained into us not only literal belief in the
Bible, but also substantial belief in Alf Laylah wa Laylah, and only
adolescence can cure us, we are only too liable, in the rush and
energy of dawning manhood, to overturn roughly and rashly both
these classics, to regard them both on the same level, as interesting
documents from the standpoint of folk-lore and anthropology, and as
nothing more.
Even when we learn that the Bible, by a profound and minute study
of the text, may be forced to yield up Qabalistic arcana of cosmic
scope and importance, we are too often slow to apply a similar
restorative to the companion volume, even if we are the luck holders
of Burton’s veritable edition.
To me, then, it remains to raise the Alf Laylah wa Laylah into its
proper place once more.
I am not concerned to deny the objective reality of all “magical”
phenomena; if they are illusions, they are at least as real as many
unquestioned facts of daily life; and, if we follow Herbert Spencer,
they are at least evidence of some cause.[4]
Now, this fact is our base. What is the cause of my illusion of seeing
a spirit in the triangle of Art?
Every smatterer, every expert in psychology, will answer: “That
cause lies in your brain.”
English children (pace the Education Act) are taught that the
Universe lies in infinite Space; Hindu children, in the Akasa, which is
the same thing.
Those Europeans who go a little deeper learn from Fichte, that the
phenomenal Universe is the creation of the Ego; Hindus, or
Europeans studying under Hindu Gurus, are told, that by Akasa is
meant the Chitakasa. The Chitakasa is situated in the “Third Eye”,
i.e., in the brain. By assuming higher dimensions of space, we can
assimilate this fact to Realism; but we have no need to take so much
trouble.
This being true for the ordinary Universe, that all sense-impressions
are dependent on changes in the brain,[5] we must include illusions,
which are after all sense-impressions as much as “realities” are, in
the class of “phenomena dependent on brain-changes.”
Magical phenomena, however, come under a special sub-class,
since they are willed, and their cause is the series of “real”
phenomena called the operations of ceremonial Magic.
These consist of

(1) Sight.
The circle, square, triangle, vessels, lamps, robes, implements,
etc.
(2) Sound.
The invocations.
(3) Smell.
The perfumes.
(4) Taste.
The Sacraments.
(5) Touch.
