About this title

From the Back Cover:

Step-by-step calculation procedures for solving electric power problems with speed and accuracy Now you can solve electric power problems with speed, ease, and precision using this complete compilation of proven calculation procedures for solving over 300 commonly encountered problems. The second edition of this authoritative resource offers convenient access to all the procedures-plus practical, worked-out examples-you need to achieve error-free calculations. You'll find solutions for everything from evaluating motor performance to analyzing power transmission lines, selecting the right grounding system, and designing an outdoor lighting system. The 20 comprehensive sections were compiled by experts to provide detailed, step-by-step calculation procedures that require only basic math or algebra for solving problems in areas such as: network analysis; dc motors and generators; three-phase induction motors; electric power generation; electric-power networks; power-system control; power-system stability; economic methods; instrumentation; transformers; synchronous machines; transmission lines; load-flow; power-system protection; cogeneration; and more. This edition also includes new calculations in the key areas of ac to dc circuit transfer, the effect of power pools on systems capacity and reserve margins, power system protection, the effects of series, and capacitors in the network. There is no other single source that includes such a vast collection of electric power calculations. With this handbook, you'll also be able to solve problems faster than ever before--and with more confidence.
