Industrial Power Engineering and Applications Handbook

K.C. Agrawal's Industrial Power Engineering and Applications Handbook. A thorough reference to the several facets of power engineering, the Industrial Power Engineering and Applications Handbook aims to present a useful, understandable approach to the subject. Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution, electric motors and drives, power electronics, and power system protection and switchgear are just a few of the many topics covered in the book.

It is written in a style that is meant to make the subject matter simple to grasp and applicable in a practical situation, and it is intended to be a useful resource for engineers and engineering students who are working with or studying power systems. There are five sections to this book. Here is a summary of each section.
