Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers

This is the world's foremost electrical engineering "bible." Still the only single-volume guide to the entire field of electricity - its manufacture, transmission, distribution, measurement, and use - "Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers, 14th edition", edited by Donald G. Fink and H. Wayne Beaty, packs the expertise of over 60 best-of-breed contributors. Brimming with solutions to day-to-day problems in electrical system design, operation and maintenance, this unmatched resource arms you with: fast-access data on units and definitions; standards communications; properties of materials used in manufacturing electrical equipment; and components; computer applications; the economics of electrical systems; wiring design for commercial and industrial buildings; electrochemistry and electrometallurgy and much, much more. You also get up to speed on: high-voltage transmission systems; residential, commercial, and industrial power applications that deliver more efficient motors, lighting and transportation; energy conservation and efficient energy use; alternate energy sources such as solar and geothermal power, and energy storage systems; electric utility industry changes - including competition - and how they affect operations, maintenance, and engineering methods; technological changes in instrumentation, metering, generation (especially nuclear and gas turbines), insulating materials, power quality - and more!
