Cutter, Sr. From the Inside Flap Over the course of my 25-year career in the electrical industry, I have seen the scope of work that defines the electrician grow significantly. Today, the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for electricians who install, troubleshoot, and maintain electrical systems are mind-boggling. In addition to the expanding scope of work, the pace at which change occurs and the pace at which technology improves are unfathomable. Even a cursory review of today's electrical market will reveal that nowhere is the confluence of these two developments more apparent than in the area of electrical/electronic systems control and monitoring. Albert Cutter has done an outstanding service for our industry by developing a hands-on reference and training tool in his new work, Electrician's Guide to Control and Monitoring Systems. Electrical workers today are faced with the increased challenge of installing, troubleshooting, and maintaining the systems that control and monitor critical-mission processes and operations. The Guide provides detailed drawings and step-by-step explanations that will be extremely useful to field and plant electricians who are required to install and maintain these systems.
