  • Description
  • Feature
  • Contents

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.

  • 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
