Handbook of Electric Power Calculations, Fourth Edition: Edition 4
About this ebook
The new edition of the Handbook of Electric Power Calculations is updated to address significant new calculation problems and the technological developments that have occurred since publication of the Third Edition of the book in 2000. This fully revised resource provides electric power engineers and technicians with a complete problem-solving package that makes it easy to find and use the right calculation.
The book covers the entire spectrum of electrical engineering, including: batteries; cogeneration; electric energy economics; generation; instrumentation; lighting design; motors and generators; networks; transmission. Each section contains a clear statement of the problem, the step-by-step calculation procedure, graphs and illustrations to clarify the problem, and SI and USCS equivalents.
- Brand-new chapter on three-phase reactive power in alternating-current (AC) transmission systems
- NEW—now includes relevant industry standards (NEMA, IEEE, etc.) listed at the end of each section
- Provides practical, ready-to-use calculations with a minimum of emphasis on theory
