- Provides
a complete reference on the design, maintenance, and operation
of an alternating current power supplies
- Discusses
current information on the proper utilization and packaging
of protection devices for power supply
- Outlines
the proper operation of equipment to avoid damage due to power
surges/disturbances or poor grounding/shielding
- Offers
a comprehensive understanding of ac power systems - thereby
reducing the risk of damage and destruction to expensive, sensitive
electronic equipment
- Includes
practical applications and examples to illustrate concepts in
the text
- Contains
supporting mathematics to explain the material discussed
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?
o Expanded discussion on power-system components
o New chapter on grounding practices
o Appendix covering engineering data and tables
o 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.
