Edition 2.5 of the Fourth Class incorporates a number of new additions. It incorporates all corrections reported to PanGlobal Training Systems (the Pub- lisher of the Power Engineering series books) and validated as appropriate chang- es by both internal and external subject matter experts. This edition represents a minor revision and does not reflect any changes to the SOPEEC syllabi. It does, however address a number of educational quality issues which have arisen over the past years. Although the general book organization continues in support of Part A and Part B segmentation, a large number of content elements which had previously been repeated in several areas of the text have been replaced with appropriate references. This has facilitated the combining of several of the chapters and an overall reduction from 149 to 144 chapters. The Learning Objectives in each chapter have been separated into distinct units and this has necessitated some adjustment in the wording of some Objectives to re- flect this reorganization. This new format has resulted in a new pagination of each book differing from edi- tion 2.0. Therefore, any instructional references made to the Second Edition will have to be adjusted for use with Edition 2.5. The Second Edition books remain valid and may be used in conjunction with cor- rection sheets posted to http://www.powerengineering.org/index.php/correc- tions-a-updates#pe4 to provide the same learning resources that are available in this edition.
