Stallcup's® Generator, Transformer, Motor and Compressor,
2008 Edition
James G. Stallcup
Stallcup’s® Generator,
Transformer, Motor and Compressor, 2008 Edition has been
fully revised to bring electrical personnel up-to-code on all types
of rotating machinery.
The new 2008 Edition
expertly explains how to select, operate, construct, and maintain
the most common types of rotating machinery correctly and
efficiently.
Divided into three comprehensive
parts, Stallcup’s® introduces users to:
-
the theory, methods, and
applications of generators (Part 1),
- transformers (Part 2),
- and motors, controllers and
compressors (Part 3).
This text fully explains how
these devises work and which Code rules apply. In keeping with the
previous edition, the text features numerous illustrations to
enhance comprehension, clarify complex concepts, and offer hands-on
assistance for easier compliance with today’s requirements.
Key Features:
- Completely updated for the
2008 National Electrical Code®
- Covers NEC® rules and techniques
for working with all types of rotating machinery
- Fully illustrated to help users visualize
key information
- Logically arranged into three sections to
provide a user-friendly review of the Code as it applies to
generators, transformers, motors and compressors
- Review questions are provided at the end
of each chapter to test students' knowledge of chapter material
