List Price $63.95 Website Price $60.95 Author: Jeffrey J. Keljik Format: Softcover Copyright: 2009 Pages: 276 Qty: Description   Designed for both novice and practicing electrical workers, Electricity 3: Power Generation and Delivery 9th Edition explores various types of generators and the delivery of single-phase and three-phase power to the customer site. The ninth edition is updated to the 2008 National Electrical Code and includes safety features from the power supply industry and current OSHA standards where applicable. This updated edition also features all-new coverage of generator maintenance and troubleshooting and expanded coverage of transfer switches, transformers, and connections. With a continued focus on the "hows" and "whys" of electrical system operation, readers will gain a solid understanding that goes beyond what to do in an electrical problem to why various electrical procedures are important. Features: Short, easy-to-read chapters provide readers with a quick reference for specific topics. Detailed, practical artwork provides schematic views, and real photographs of equipment help readers visualize key concepts. Current technologies are examined in conjunction with older technologies still in use, providing the necessary information to transition to newer systems. "Achievement Reviews" allow users to check their comprehension as they progress through the book. From the Preface The ninth edition of Electricity 3 has been updated to provide more topics and concepts to better reflect the current workplace. At the same time, the text has retained the features and style of previous editions that have made it so popular. The text introduces the concepts of power generation and distribution. The material is broken down into short segments that concentrate on specific concepts or applications of particular types of equipment. The detailed explanations are written in easy-to-understand language and concisely present the needed information. Many illustrations and photographs help provide technical understanding and real-world references. This type of explanation and application better prepares the student to perform effectively on the job in installing, troubleshooting, repairing, and servicing electrical power generition and delivery. The knowledge obtained in this book permits the student to progress further in the study of electrical systems. The study of electricity and the application of electrical products are continually changing. The electrical industry constantly introduces new and improved devices and material that lead to changes in installation and operation of equipment. Electrical codes also change to reflect industry needs. It is essential that students continue to learn and update their knowledge of current procedures and practices. The text is easy to read and the units have been grouped by general subject areas. Summaries in each unit restate the most important topics of the unit. Summaries of unit groupings provide reviews of topical areas. Each unit begins with the learning objectives. An Achievement Review at the end of each unit provides an opportunity for readers to check their understanding of the material in small increments before proceeding. The problems in the text sometimes require the use of simple algebra. Students should be familiar with the math before trying to solve the equations. It is also essential that readers have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of electrical circuits and basic electrical concepts. It is recommended that the most recent edition of the National Electrical Code (published by the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA]) be available for reference and use as the learner uses this text. Application of state and local codes and regulations should also be consulted when making actual installations. Features of the ninth edition include the addition of a unit on alternative power sources which include wind-powered generation, hydrogen fuel cells, microturbine generation, and solar photovoltaic power production. These alternative forms of power supplies are described and then linked to the National Electrical Code, where applicable, to enhance the understanding of where and how these sources are used. An alternate form for a UPS system is described, to be used for short duration operation in place of battery backup systems. Other features include: Organization of topics into related topics and associated concepts. Updated photos and artwork to reflect current equipment and practices. Content updated to the most recent electrical code. Additional information on generation systems. Coverage of transformers and connections. Summaries and Achievement Reviews at the end of each unit.
