Module 3: Introduction to Circuit Protection, Control, and Measurement introduces the essential devices and techniques used to protect and analyze electrical circuits. This volume covers circuit breakers, fuses, and current limiters as methods of circuit protection, along with the theory and application of meters as precision measuring instruments. Students will gain practical knowledge of ammeters, voltmeters, rectifiers, and meter movements, as well as the concepts of sensitivity, damping, and safe measurement practices.
Each chapter begins with clear learning objectives that guide the student through key concepts, followed by comprehensive check questions to reinforce mastery. By completing this module, readers will be able to identify and explain the principles behind electrical measurement, understand how protective devices safeguard systems, and safely apply instruments to evaluate circuit conditions. This is the third of 24 modules in the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS), a complete program designed to build electrical and electronic knowledge step by step, from the fundamentals to advanced technologies such as communications, radar, and fiber optics.
This is the 3rd of 24 modules in the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS), a comprehensive program originally developed by the U.S. Navy and approved for public release. Each book stands on its own as a self-study manual but is best experienced as part of the complete series, covering everything from basic electricity to advanced radar, communications, and fiber optics.
