Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers

THE LANDMARK ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING REFERENCE

It's hard to think of the science and technology of electrical engineering without considering the one reference that has, for over 90 years, covered it like no other: the STANDARD HANDBOOK FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. Every technical breakthrough, every industry standard, every trend and defining issue--all have been a part of what has made the HANDBOOK a watershed reference for generations of engineers and technicians. One look at this new edition, featuring the insights of over60 expert contributors, and you'll see that this authoritative tradition is alive and well.

Now more than ever, this standard-setting reference continues to give you the definitive, 360 degree look at the world of electricity, covering its generation, transmission, distribution, measurement, and use--including all the technical aspects needed by engineers working with electrical systems.

IN THIS NEW FOURTEENTH EDITION, LOOK FOR:

* A greater emphasis on communications, reflecting its expanding role in electric utility operations
* Important new material on high-voltage transmission systems, which encompass high-voltage direct current systems designed to solve many of the interconnection problems of large power pools
* The latest strides in residential, commercial, and industrial applications of electrical powser, which result in more efficient motors, lighting, and transportation
* A focus on energy conservation and efficient energy use--plus a look at alternate energy sources such as solar power, geothermal power, and energy storage systems
* And more!

FROM CIRCUITS TO GENERATORS, FROM POWER-SYSTEM COMPONENTS TO PROJECT ECONOMICS ANDCOMPUTER APPLICATIONS, IT'S ALL HERE--IN THE CLASSIC, STATE-OF-THE-ART VOLUME THAT WILL POWER YOUR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SKILLS INTO THE TWENTY-FIVE CENTURY.
