Synopses & Reviews
Proper operation of sensitive equipment requires attention to transient disturbances, grounding practices, and standby power needs. This second edition of the successful AC Power Systems Handbook focuses on engineering technology essential to the design, maintenance, and operation of alternating current power supplies.
What's New in the Second Edition?
Expanded discussion on power-system components
New chapter on grounding practices
Appendix covering engineering data and tables
Updated material in all chapters
Serving engineering personnel involved in the specification, installation, and maintenance of electronic equipment for industry, this revision comprehensively examines the design and maintenance of ac power systems for critical-use applications. AC Power Systems Handbook also reflects the increased movement toward microelectronic equipment and microprocessor-based systems as well as the increased priority among electronics engineers on the protection of such systems.
Synopsis
This updated and expanded second edition of the only complete handbook on this subject focuses on the design, maintenance, and operation of an alternating current power supply. New topics include the increasingly critical area of proper utilization, miniaturization, and packaging of the power supply and a new chapter on power-system circuits. This one-stop reference also contains expanded coverage of power-system components and an appendix with key data tables. Every chapter has been updated. Concepts covered in the text are illustrated with practical examples.
