Description
Summary:"Design Fundamentals for Low-Voltage Distribution and Control provides practical guidelinesfor all aspects of this vital topic. Linking theoretical principles with real hardware designs, the book will help engineers meet safety and regulatory standards, reduce redesign costs, shorten product development and testing cycles, and develop more reliable, efficientequipment. This outstanding reference highlights the determination of reactance and resistances of conductors ... discusses heat transfer problems in industrial apparatus . .. and considers shortcircuit and ground fault calculations as well as temperature rise and forces occurring underfault conditions. Design Fundamentals for Low-Voltage Distribution and Control applies thermodynamicprinciples to electrical equipment, including coverage of heat transfer equations, calculationexamples for conductor sizes, and insulation. It provides empirical models to show howhigher order theoretical equations can be practically approximated ... and includes samplecalculations for magnet size, circuit breakers, fault current, arc interruption, and other propertiesand equipment. In addition, the book compares design requirements for both U.S. and European equipment. Featuring numerous equations, graphs, tables, test procedures, and diagrams, Design Fundamentalsfor Low-Voltage Distribution and Control is an invaluable practical guide for electricaland electronics, design, project, and power engineers involved with the design andapplication of electrical apparatus; and graduate students of electrical engineering, powerengineering, and electro technology."--Provided by publisher.
