Electricity 3
Power
Generation, and Delivery
Eighth Edition
Jeff Keljik
Electricity 3 explores various types of
generators and the delivery of single phase and 3-phase power to the
customer site.
The Eighth Edition is updated to the
2005
National Electrical Code® and includes safety features from the
power supply industry and current OSHA standards where
applicable.
New concepts in generation for standby or
emergency power have been added, while traditional methods have been
organized to provide understanding and transition to the modern
methods.
This book gives concise, useful information on
the connections, the concepts of generation, and control for the
production of electricity.
Features:
- introduces readers to DC and AC generation
basics, as well as some advanced systems used to generate and
supply power
- provides the background information needed
to determine how transformers are utilized to provide various
levels of voltage at the customer site
- explanations of transformer theory include
logical, step-by-step formulas that aid in determining desired
voltage, current, and output power
- easy-to-read and follow diagrams and photos
of various connection patterns provide visual references for
important electrical concepts
- formulas are accompanied by solutions to
calculation-related material to aid in comprehension
