Sooner or later, power system protection is going to
cost money.
How much is entirely up to you.
Setting up a safe and effective AC power system from
the very beginning can help avoid costly downtime and
repairs, provide backup power during system outages,
and minimize workplace accidents.
For the past 15 years, Jerry Whitaker's AC Power
Systems Handbook has supplied industry professionals
with a comprehensive, practical guide to the key
elements of AC power for commercial and industrial
systems.
This third edition is thoroughly revised and
completely reorganized to reflect the changing demands
of modern power systems.
To ease navigation, many sections are now presented as
separate chapters filled with updated and expanded
information.
Most notably, the author adds heavily in the areas of
transient suppression hardware, electrical system
components, and power system fundamentals.
Following a logical progression, coverage flows from
power system operation to protecting equipment loads,
selecting the right level of protection, grounding,
standby power, and safety.
Along the way, the author paints a clear picture of
the sources of disturbances, the tradeoffs involved
for different options, and the advantages and
limitations of various approaches.
