Oh you poor dear. You don't know how to read a catalog. It's so mean of your boss to ask you to order something from the catalog instead of getting the company purchaser to do it. I wonder how you do equipment sizing and selection when you don't know how to read a catalog.

I suggest you buy these two books. They're called "Catalog Reading for Dummies" and "Idiots' Guide to Catalog Reading". I'm sure you can find them on the following website: http://www.amazon.com/. If not, then try http://www.barnesandnobles.com/.

There are 2 too many z's, and one too many a's in your name. And there should be a space between the e and the l.

At least all your posts are consistent.

free electronics catalogs

You forgot to add that "H" should be substituted with "I" and "e" with "'m".

This is so stupid, I wonder if this is actually somebody who was booted from the group that has come back to haunt?

Can you be a little more specific in what you are looking for?

What do you mean by "catalogs"?

Are you asking about something to order parts from or a book to learn about electronics and electricity?

A little more information will help to point you in the correct direction and also stop some people from messing with you.(This is bad,look who turned out to be the voice of reason.Who knew???)

Treating your question seriously, and allowing for any language barrier problems, do you mean reading electrical wiring drawings ? If so, many would help you, please respond if so.

i am sure no good deed goes unpunished, hope this will

thanks for your concerns, yes I need to know the wiring and the name of symbols inside a let's say an 'electrical manual" - as we can open an electrical manual for maintenance. Thanks again.

Ha! i was right for once. Yes the maze of electrical symbols can be frightening, when i recall my younger days...40 years ago. Now with the help of google, you can get many website for what you want. Here is just one of them elec-toolbox.com

You need to do your own search, and that way, you will have the satisfaction of finding your own. Good luck.

There are hundreds or even thousands of electrical catalogs. Every electrical manufacturing companies have had their products range electrical catalogs from A to Z. To start with your initial learning process get any electrical product catalog from a electrical products dealer next door such as transformerss, lighting luminaires, wires, outlets/switches devices, etc. there are corresponding technical specifications in every product range to fit your needs. Take note that elect. products catalogs deals with the global business i.e. U.S.-Europian standards in conformity with applicable elect. codes.
