Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series
All linked files are pdfs
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.
Module 11, Microwave Principles, explains microwave oscillators, amplifiers, and waveguides.
Module 12, Modulation Principles, discusses the principles of modulation.
Module 13, Introduction to Number Systems and Logic
Circuits, presents the fundamental concepts of
number systems, Boolean algebra, and logic circuits, all of which
pertain to digital computers.
Module 14, Introduction to Microelectronics,
covers microelectronics technology and miniature and
microminiature circuit repair.
Module 15, Principles of Synchros, Servos, and Gyros,
provides the basic principles, operations,
functions, and applications of synchro, servo, and gyro mechanisms.
Module 16, Introduction to Test Equipment, is an
introduction to some of the more commonly used test
equipments and their applications.
Module 17, Radio-Frequency Communications Principles,
presents the fundamentals of a radiofrequency
communications system.
Module 18, Radar Principles, covers the fundamentals of a radar system.
Module 19, The Technician,s Handbook, is a handy
reference of commonly used general information,
such as electrical and electronic formulas, color coding, and naval
supply system data.
Module 20, Master Glossary, is the glossary of terms for the series.
Module 21, Test Methods and Practices, describes basic test methods and practices.
Module 22, Introduction to Digital Computers, is an introduction to digital computers.
Module 23, Magnetic Recording, is an
introduction to the use and maintenance of magnetic recorders and
the concepts of recording on magnetic tape and disks.
