Analysis and Design of Low-Voltage Power Systems

Ismail Kasikci

 

After briefly dealing with the theory of low-voltage systems and relevant regulations and standards, Kasickci (Associated Editor of the International Journal of Power and Energy Systems and a lecturer at the U. of Applied Sciences of Heilbronn, Germany) provides 50 fully worked examples of the calculation, dimensioning, and evaluation of low voltage power systems within his discussion of the engineering aspects of planning low-voltage power systems. Among other topics, chapters cover transformers, asynchronous motors, emergency generators, overcurrent protection, switchgear combinations, protections against electric shock, current carrying capacity of conductors and cables, voltage drop calculations, lighting systems, compensation for reactive power, and lightning protection systems. The CD-ROM contains applicable CAD programs to aid calculations required in project planning. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
