2.0 out of 5 stars Alot of general info but not much specific, September 9, 2008
Book gives a broad overview of substations, but not very detailed. If you have anything more than a passing interesting how substations work this book will not be much use to you. I started a new job as a commisioner and this book was of little benefit to me. Not enough details on the inner workings of power protection and switchgear.

This review is from: Electric Power Substations Engineering (The Electric Power Engineering Hbk, Second Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is very concise and yet a powerhouse of very good information. This is the book to be read first to get the overall picture on power substation engineering quickly and precisely, without overwhelming yourself on the subject. I wish I had this book ten years back :)

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for both substation and equipment engineering, September 13, 2005
This review is from: Electric Power Substations Engineering (The Electric Power Engineering Hbk, Second Edition) (Hardcover)
(Zhu Fang, Dr. & P.Eng., Ontario, Canada)

This book outlines the physics and logic behind the relevant IEEE standards. So it helps to understand and application of these standards in engineering work. As working on power transformer engineering, I find that this book enriches and updates my background knowledge on application of power equipments. It is ideal for electric power engineering professional and student who wishes to know more about engineering practice.
