This is the right book for the "need-to-know," practical aspects of electrical power who want to get "up to speed" on the subject, regardless of education or technical training. Reliable, low-cost electric power is a fundamental requirement for modern society, making possible such vital services as lighting, HVAC, transportation, communication, and data processing, in addition to driving motors of all sizes.
A mainstay of industrial productivity and economic prosperity, it is also essential for safeguarding human life and health. This handbook is a valuable information resource on electric power for everyone from technical professionals to students and laypeople. Other sections describe regulations, standards and specifications, government resources, professional and trade associations, and education and career resources.
Engineers, scientists, librarians, and other information professionals working with engineering and technology information will welcome this research. Author : Joseph F.
McPartland,Brian J. Organized to follow the stages of a typical electrical design job, it clearly explains all facets of electrical design and all the latest practical procedures, practices, and trends involved in the design of electrical systems in commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential occupancies.
This illustrated resource features step-by-step details on how to size, select, and apply conductors, raceways, switches, fuses, and all other related system components. It also presents information in a manner that makes it easy for designers to prepare plans and electrical specifications for installers. McPartland,Steven P. With more than detailed illustrations, this updated handbook will enable anyone involved in the electrical construction industry to determine the most efficient and cost-effective approach to the design, layout, installation, operation, and maintenance of electric circuits, systems, and equipment.
To enable such integration, improving the knowledge of maintainability and setting maintainability benchmarks are two key issues. These objectives are fulfilled with the development of a comprehensive defect library, a material manual and a maintainability scoring system. These tools serve to define acceptable standards in design and construction practices, thus enhancing long-term maintainability of facilities. Among the topics new to this edition are computer-aided electrical drawing CAD , basic switch and receptacle circuit wiring, outdoor low-voltage wiring, telephone and structured wiring, and electrical surge protection.
This book begins with a discussion of electrical drawing and symbols and the importance of specifications in electrical projects. The chapters that follow cover power generation, transmission, and distribution. Aerial and buried service entrances are explained and illustrated, as are main panels or load centers and the principles of earth grounding.
Properties of wire and cable are presented, and the dimensions and the details of basic electrical wiring devices are described and illustrated. The rules for installing branch circuit wiring are given along with an example of a load calculation and the reasons for load balancing. Extensive coverage is given to lighting, lamps, and indoor and outdoor lighting design.
Other chapters explain telephone and structured wiring, electric motors, emergency and standby electrical systems, and the essentials of surge protection.
