Electrical Technology (EPT 161/3)

"Indispensable for electrical engineers, designers, and technicians, the Handbook provides immediate fingertip access to the fundamental information busy professionals need for everyday use in the field. This new Second Edition has been totally revised to reflect the 2002 National Electrical Code(R) and also includes new sections on telecommunications-structured cabling systems, dissipation array system technology for lightning protection, and blown optical fiber technology."--BOOK JACKET.

Recent years have brought substantial developments in electrical drive technology, with the appearance of highly rated, very-high-speed power-electronic switches, combined with microcomputer control systems. This popular textbook has been thoroughly revised and updated in the light of these changes. It retains its successful formula of teaching through worked examples, which are put in context with concise explanations of theory, revision of equations and discussion of the engineering implications. Numerous problems are also provided, with answers supplied. The third edition includes enhanced coverage of power-electronic systems and new material on closed-loop control, in addition to thorough treatment of electrical machines.

"Professionals, researchers and engineers in the electric vehicle industry as well as advanced students in electrical and mechanical engineering will benefit from this comprehensive coverage of electric vehicle technology."--BOOK JACKET.
