HANDBOOK OF ELECTRIC POWER CALCULATIONS

The Handbook of Electric Power Calculations provides detailed step-by-step calculation procedures commonly encountered in electrical engineering. The Handbook contains a wide array of topics and each topic is written by an authority on the subject. The treatment throughout the Handbook is practical with very little emphasis on theory. 

Each of the 20 Sections follows this format: 

• Clear statement of the problem. 

 • Step-by-step calculation procedure. 

• Inclusion of suitable graphs and illustrations to clarify the procedure. 

• Use of SI and USCS equivalents.

This relatively simple, yet comprehensive format adds greatly to the use of the Handbook by the engineer or technician. Arithmetic and algebra are employed in the solution of the majority of the problems. Each section contains a list of references or a bibliography that is pertinent to the subject matter. This edition also includes a CD that has calculation procedures available for inclusion of other parameters, which will allow you to calculate problems with your specific numbers inserted. 

Grateful acknowledgment is given to each of the authors for their contribution to this 3rd edition of the Handbook.
