The Electrical Engineer's Reference Book is a unique single-volume reference source for a wide range of practising electrical power engineers and students. It is ideal for all involved with generation, transmission and distribution, as well as the utilisation of electrical power in applications ranging from motor drive systems and control, to electroheat and lighting. Generic issues such as EMC, hazardous area technology and health and safety are also covered.

The book includes established and cutting-edge technologies, fundamental principles and sector-specific information. Throughout the emphasis is on information and techniques needed in the daily work of an electrical engineer.

The sixteenth edition has been thoroughly revised, with many chapters rewritten or replaced - including major new sections covering control systems, PLCs and microprocessors.
