NAVY ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS TRAINING

NAVY ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS TRAINING

SERIES

The Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) was developed for use by personnel in

many electrical- and electronic-related Navy ratings. Written by, and with the advice of, senior

technicians in these ratings, this series provides beginners with fundamental electrical and electronic

concepts through self-study. The presentation of this series is not oriented to any specific rating structure,

but is divided into modules containing related information organized into traditional paths of instruction.

The series is designed to give small amounts of information that can be easily digested before advancing

further into the more complex material. For a student just becoming acquainted with electricity or

electronics, it is highly recommended that the modules be studied in their suggested sequence. While

there is a listing of NEETS by module title, the following brief descriptions give a quick overview of how

the individual modules flow together.

Module 1, Introduction to Matter, Energy, and Direct Current, introduces the course with a short history

of electricity and electronics and proceeds into the characteristics of matter, energy, and direct current

(dc). It also describes some of the general safety precautions and first-aid procedures that should be

common knowledge for a person working in the field of electricity. Related safety hints are located

throughout the rest of the series, as well.

Module 2, Introduction to Alternating Current and Transformers, is an introduction to alternating current

(ac) and transformers, including basic ac theory and fundamentals of electromagnetism, inductance,

capacitance, impedance, and transformers.

Module 3, Introduction to Circuit Protection, Control, and Measurement, encompasses circuit breakers,

fuses, and current limiters used in circuit protection, as well as the theory and use of meters as electrical

measuring devices.

Module 4, Introduction to Electrical Conductors, Wiring Techniques, and Schematic Reading, presents

conductor usage, insulation used as wire covering, splicing, termination of wiring, soldering, and reading

electrical wiring diagrams.

Module 5, Introduction to Generators and Motors, is an introduction to generators and motors, and

covers the uses of ac and dc generators and motors in the conversion of electrical and mechanical

energies.

Module 6, Introduction to Electronic Emission, Tubes, and Power Supplies, ties the first five modules

together in an introduction to vacuum tubes and vacuum-tube power supplies.

Module 7, Introduction to Solid-State Devices and Power Supplies, is similar to module 6, but it is in

reference to solid-state devices.

Module 8, Introduction to Amplifiers, covers amplifiers.

Module 9, Introduction to Wave-Generation and Wave-Shaping Circuits, discusses wave generation and

wave-shaping circuits.

Module 10, Introduction to Wave Propagation, Transmission Lines, and Antennas, presents the

characteristics of wave propagation, transmission lines, and antennas.
