Power Quality in Electrical Systems

Power Quality in Electrical Systems equips you with the latest engineering
techniques for providing power quality to all customers, and includes vital
information on manufacturing, data processing, and healthcare facilities.
Based on an IEEE Professional Education course, the book is a
practice-oriented engineering tutorial for solving key
electric-power-quality problems.

This skills-building resource is designed to improve job performance by
taking you step-by-step through voltage distortion…harmonic current
sources…power capacitors…corrections for power-quality problems
…switched-mode power supplies…uninterruptible power supplies…standby
power systems…power-quality measurements…and more. Filled with 100
detailed illustrations, Power Quality in Electrical Systems enables you
to:

Spot and correct key electric-power-quality problems
Achieve full compliance with IEEE standards
Examine switched-mode power supplies, rectifiers, and other loads that
produce interference
Catch up on the latest standby power systems
Get vital information on power quality for manufacturing, data processing,
and healthcare facilities
Explore power-quality case studies with problems and worked solutions
