This is an excellent, practical handbook on electrical equipment. It contains clear descriptions of how electrical components are constructed, how they work, how to maintain them, and how to troubleshoot them. Points in the text are illustrated through numerous detailed photographs, drawings and graphs. Topics include transformers, motors, generators, drives, circuit breakers, electrical systems, etc. It also includes topics such as bearings and lubrication, used oil analysis and vibration analysis.

I have attended two courses taught by Philip Kiameh at the University of Toronto's Professional Development Centre, one on power generation equipment and the other on mechanical equipment. Philip was an excellent teacher and his text books are similarly excellent and I highly recommend them.

Mr Kiameh has done it again. He has captured his vast practical knowledge into this simple yet comprehensive handbook. The difference between this book and a typical text used in the academic world is that one can find solutions and descriptions to their plant problems; the academic texts are heavily biased to the theorectical while Mr. Kiameh's approach hinges strongly in the industrial aspects.

It is a very useful reference book for anyone interested in Electrical Equipment testing, inspection and selection. It contains practical approach to the electrical equipment starting with the basic theory, design approach, operation and maintenance concepts. It has practical value as it contains broad information about Transformers, AC machines, Induction Motors and Generators. It also addresses the electro-mechanical aspects of equipment and provide valuable information on equipment selection. It is a must own for professionals involved in these fields

Very comprehensive. A very valuable desk reference, highly recommended.

Philip Kiameh has done a remarkable job of providing in depth description of electrical equipment in pleasantly readable format. Professionals of electrical and non-electrical backgrounds will find this reference invaluable. This book is very well illustrated and descriptive with particular focus on maintenance. This is a truly valuable reference to the industrial professional with major electrical equipment to maintain and operate.

Philip Kiameh has provided us with another practical book that focuses on Power Generation equipments. This book begins with an introduction to Electrical Engineering concepts and then continues with electric machinery, motors, transformers and generators. This book is very well written with excellent examples and figures. The book is also intended for those who are not electrical engineers and provides a comprehensive picture of electrical equipments in industrial applicatons. It is a must for anyone working in an industrial environment.

An Excellent Handbook and a Valuable Source of Technical Informations:

This is a well written and researched handbook on the most widely used electrical Equipment.This handbook contains all essential details and principles for transformers, motors, power electronics, fuses, circuit breakers, variable speed motors, etc and its written with such clarity and yet simplicity that enables its reader to come up to speed and get the answers to his problems.

The author has managed to transfer his vast practical experience in the pages of his handbook in such a way that the reader will get excellent tips in successfuly maintain and / or troubleshoot each electrical equipment.

The handbook explains the basic principles involved in the electrical machinery in a clear and logical way by the utilization of detail illustrations, examples, drawings, graphs and numerous detail photographs.

This book is highly recommended for all professionals and maintenance personnel.

If you are seeking a book covering everything related to Electrical systems in power plants or power generation , this the book you are looking for.

It Combines both : Theory and Practical applications of various types of Generators, Transformors , Motors, Motor Controls , Variable Speed Drives , Circuit breakers, Fuses, Protective Devices , Electrical Stations, Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) Systems , DC Systems , Synchronization of generators, drooping , Electrical Supply Class I,II,III ,IV , and more..All backed up with graphics , photos and examples.

Not only this , but it takes you more into the Operation, Testing , maintenance and Troubleshooting of these Electrical Equipments explaining major techniques and analysis used in modern electrical systems .

This book is very rich in material and valuable information commonly required by any engineer working or interested in power and Electrical Systems..

I would strongly recommend this book to buy , read and keep as reference

The author puts his decades of design and maintenance experience into this book. You will find the latest information on all common electrical equipment utilized in a power generation or other type of processing plants.

This book covers: basic concepts and equations, technology used, application, testing, as well as maintenance. The approach is very hands-on and it will enhence your knowledge as the electrical expert.

However, this book is written in very simple labnguage. It will also benefit students or non-electrical technical staff trying to gain a quick overall picture.

This is one of your best reference handbook.
