According to a recent review by ElectricNet, the third edition of Handbook of Electric Power Calculations—edited by H. Wayne Beaty and published in January 2001 by McGraw-Hill—is a must-have for any electrical engineer looking to stay on top of electric power calculations in the new deregulation environment. The new edition addresses the new National Electrical Code, advances in transformers and motors, and the new system design and operating procedures in the electric utility industry brought about by deregulation. ElectricNet also praises the books companion CD-ROM, which features more than one hundred interactive calculations and allows readers to search contents.
The book includes calculations for network analysis, instrumentation, DC machines, transformers, three-phase induction motors, single-phase induction motors, synchronous machines, transmission lines, electric-power networks, load-flow studies, power-system control, short-circuit computations, system grounding, power-system protection, power-system stability, cogeneration, batteries, economic methods, and lighting design.
