Description of Electrical Power and Controls |
NEW–Extensive use of figures and photos.
~Provides instructors with a better means of reinforcing text discussions for today's traditional college students–who are much more visually oriented and less inclined to read lengthy discussions.
NEW–Additional review questions and problems–Included at the end of most chapters.
~Forces students to read the material and allows the incorporation of written assignments–which are emphasized by accreditation agencies and industry alike.
NEW–A review of physics basics and other background information–Included in Chapter 1.
~Brings students quickly up to speed, and allows early introduction of examples related to the electric power industry, such as pumped-water storage.
NEW–A review of basic electric power calculations–Included in Chapter 2. Includes a review of phasors and single-phase and three-phase electric power, and the concepts of real, reactive, and apparent AC power.
~Brings students quickly up-to-speed in preparation for new material.
NEW–Additional material to reflect changes in the industry.
~Allows students to understand what is expected of them in their future careers.
NEW–Case studies on societal and global issues.
~Gives students the latest information related to engineering and technology.
Single-volume coverage—Of machines, transformers, controls, and electrical power distribution.
~Avoids instructors and students having to purchase up to three separate texts for course coverage.
Mathematical flexibility—Uses primarily algebra and trigonometry for calculations and derivations. Some calculus (primarily integrals) is used, particularly for Faraday's Law.
~Enables calculus to be skipped by those who have not had an introductory calculus course.
