Synopses & Reviews
Bridges the gap between laboratory research and practical applications in industry and power utilities-clearly organized into three distinct sections that cover basic theories and concepts, execution of principles, and innovative new techniques. Includes new chapters detailing industrial uses and isues of hazard and safety, and review excercises to accompany each chpter.
Book News Annotation:
Egyptian engineers explain to students of electrical and electronics
engineering the high-voltage techniques and the related basic
theories and concepts that they will need to design and install power
transmission and distribution systems at all voltage levels,
electrical and electronic equipment, industrial plants and radio
transmitting stations, particle accelerators in medical and nuclear
research, and other applications. They assume no prerequisites other
than the physics and mathematical courses normally taught to
undergraduate majors in the field. The first edition was edited by
Magdi E. Khalifa over a decade ago, shortly before he died. The
second is updated and considerably enlarged.
