This is the book for electrical engineering students, professionals, and practicing engineers.
This resource publication has unique features:
• Special coverage on earthquake engineering and tsunamis. Seismic testing of critical machines.
• Special focus on energy conservation, pollution control, and space saving in consonance with the latest global requirements.
• The book is in five major sections; each section is a mini-encyclopedia on the subjects covered.
• Tables of all relevant and equivalent standards IEC, BS, ANSI, NEMA, IEEE, and IS are at the end of every chapter
How can the material be applied?
For professionals and practicing engineers:
• As a reference handbook for all professionals and practicing engineers associated with design, engineering, production, quality assurance, protection and testing
• Project engineering, project design and project implementation
• A very useful book for every industry for selection, installation, and maintenance of electrical machines
For students and research scholars:
• As a reference textbook for all electrical engineering students in the classrooms and during practical training. It can bridge the gap between the theory of the classroom and the practice in the field. A highly recommended book for all engineering colleges worldwide, right from 1st year through final year.
• A good guide during higher studies and research activities. Subject like Earthquake Engineering, Intelligent Switchgears, SCADA Power Systems, Surges, Temporary Over Voltages, Surge Protection, Reactive Power Control, etc. are some pertinent topics covered in this work.
Critical Reviews
“This book is a single source of all information needs in the subject of power engineering. It aims at bridging the gap between the concept and the application.
“The book acts as a handy reference to all those in the field of design and application, protection and testing, production, project implementation or maintenance, in addition to the sales and purchase of these projects.
“Never before has so much ground been covered in a single volume reference source. This book will surely be of great value to students, technicians, practicing engineers equipment designers and manufacturers.”
—Electrical & Electronics Magazine, June 2004 Edition
“Simple & informative approach adopted in the book shall prove helpful in guiding/understanding the fundamental/concepts in its application/usage while considering the procurement of electrical power equipment and then in its testing and usage. Tables/examples/figure/pictorial representation/comparative studies and tables are very useful, which may serve as ready reckoner for various topics.”
—H. S. Manocha: Bhakra Beas Management Board, India
“Allow me to congratulate you as you seem to be the first Indian who has written something that is comparable with other international electrical handbooks.”
—Agnelo D’costa, Dubai
“This book is the best book I have seen on Electrical Engineering. Though I have many books in my personal library, this will top all Electrical Engineering Books. The best part is, this book bridges the theory to practical very well.”
—M. V. Nayak: Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals, Ltd.
