There is a book for non-EEs that explains (in easy-to-read and easy-to-understand form) electronics, for people supplying things to that industry. Also covered is electrical equipment that we have to use in labs and factories. Included are elec. motors, three-phase transformers, ground loop problems in instrumentation, elec'l. noise, SIMPLE(!) transistor circuits for making signals stronger, etc., etc. See customer revu at amazon:

. You can probably buy a used copy cheaper than new, via amazon, since this has been used as a college (and vocational sch.) textbook, and students often sell those (to buy more beer!), even tho they really should keep texts like this, for use when they go to work.Dan Shanefield, the author of this book
