Review
The power quality engineer working in the field is often faced with having to design or modify field installations without the benefif of his libary and reference books...The Electrical Engineer's Portable Hanbook is intened to alleviate this problem by being an all-in-one, quick guide to sizing cable, conduit, motor starters, transformers, service entrances, and to perform short circuit studies, transformer ratings, voltage drop calculations -- to name a few.
...If you are a design engineer, consultant, electrical construction cost estimator or facilities engineer you need a copy of the Electrical Engineers Portable Handbook in your briefcase. -- Power Quality Assurance, January 2000
From the Back Cover
THE NO. 1 ON-THE-JOB ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING REFERENCE This quick-look-up working tool, packed with tables, charts, and checklists, takes the guesswork out of almost any electrical design task or calculation. Indispensable for electrical engineers, designers, and technicians, the Handbook provides immediate fingertip access to the fundamental information busy professionals need for everyday use in the field. This new Second Edition has been totally revised to reflect the 2002 National Electrical Code(R) and also includes new sections on telecommunications-structured cabling systems, dissipation array system technology for lightning protection, and blown optical fiber technology. With its well-illustrated, systematic framework and ready-to-use tools, no other reference delivers this much time-saving data in such a convenient, highly usable format. COMPACT, COMPLETE, AND FULLY UPDATED TO REFLECT THE 2002 NEC, the Handbook contains information on:
* NEC Articles, Tables, and Data
* Service and Distribution
* Grounding and Ground Fault Protection
* Emergency and Standby Power Systems
* Lighting
* Special Systems
* Miscellaneous Special Applications --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Electricial Engineers Portable Handbook,
By Paul L. King (Oklahoma, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrical Engineer's Portable Handbook (Paperback)
I have found this book to be very helpful for the electricial industry. There is much information available which can only be found by using many other publicatons or information available only from the manufactor of the equipment. It covers services, and grounding of electricial systems. It also covers fire protection systems, motors and lighting. There are many charts and graphs in the book. I would recommend this book for anyone in the electricial field.

Well, It IS Portable,
This review is from: Electrical Engineer's Portable Handbook (Paperback)
This is a good collection of useful information in compact form. I like the old tables that are missing in newer editions of the NEC. When odering this book, be sure to get a good magnifying glass. Lots of 3 pt text here.
