Publisher's Synopsis
Volume 1 : Electrical power systems includes power generation, electrical power transmission & distribution, control & power system protection, electrical switch-gear, power transformers, control & protection relays, transmission & distribution substations, and all switch yard equipment. All the very basic electrical engineering theories related to this field of technology are also included in this study site. This site is continually improving and in the near future we will add many other functionalities to this website to make it a complete solution for electrical technology. Please give your suggestions to help make the site better. This is a complete reference of electrical engineering and technology. Owing to its lucid style and presentation of advanced topics, the book will be useful to postgraduate students as also to practising engineers. Volume 2 : Electrical engineering is core engineering like civil and mechanical but it has a wide range of subfields. After modernization, many fields of engineering grew out of electrical such as electronics, computer, telecommunication engineering and many more. All the fields of study that directly or indirectly deal with electricity come under electrical engineering. In a power generation plant where electrical energy is produced, the application of this engineering is huge. All the mechanical and as well as electrical equipment involved in producing electrical energy, such as alternators, boilers, turbines etc. are controlled and protected by electrical signals. All the relays and switches involved in operation of the equipment are either electromechanical or static electronics devices. In the modern age, these devices are digitally controlled by computer software. So in addition to core electrical engineering, these electrical engineering subfields (electronic, computer, software engineering and IT) are also involved in power generation. The book provides an exhaustive coverage of network theory and analysis, electromagnetic theory and energy conversion, transformers, alternating and direct current machines. Volume 3 : Electrical perspective it is well known that equipment such as light fittings, switches, motors or virtually any type of electrical apparatus may cause sparking or could generate In addition, static electricity built up on a person, clothing or item may discharge with a spark. In either case a spark could ignite an explosive atmosphere with potentially devastating results. Therefore if an explosive environment is unavoidable in a workplace, suitably rated and protected electrical equipment must be used to prevent the possibility of ignition from a spark, or other source of heat. In addition special precautions such as anti-static clothing and shoes may be necessary to prevent the possibility of a static electrical discharge potentially igniting a flammable gas or combustible dust. This comprehensive text gives students a strong foundation for an understanding of the behaviour, operation, and testing of electric power apparatus under normal, overload, and fault conditions. It provides up-to-date methods for preventive maintenance, presents logical methods by which the more common troubles may be identified and localized, and recommends emergency repairs that will keep the equipment in operation until it can be scheduled out for service. Also included are outlines of inspection programs that will help ensure safe, efficient, economical, and dependable operation.
