Advanced Marine Electrotechnology

An updated Reeds volume covering advanced electrotechnology theory for marine engineers and ETOs, including AI, control systems, and worked examples.

Reeds Vol 7: Advanced Electrotechnology for Marine Engineers is the essential textbook for all marine engineers and ETO officers, covering advanced electrotechnology theory and practice.

Designed as a companion to Reeds Vol 6: Basic Electrotechnology for Marine Engineers, this comprehensive text extends into more complex areas of electrical theory and applications, making it indispensable for professional trainees studying for Merchant Navy Certificates of Competency (CoC).
