By A Customer
This review is from: Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing (Power Engineering (Willis)) (Hardcover)
This book provides the most comprehensive overview I have found thus far for engineers and field professionals involved in the maintenance and testing electrical power systems and equipment. The author presents the materials very effectively. The book is both an indispensible resource for the practicing engineer, as well as an ideal training tool for teachers and students engaged in primary and continuing education in this field.

This review is from: Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing (Power Engineering (Willis)) (Hardcover)
This book explains in detail the procedures for testing of most power type electrical equipment. The author explains in great detail the testing process, the purpose of the tests, and the acceptable and unacceptable results. Examples of data forms are provided. The author even reviews a process to set up a preventive maintenance program. Highly recommended.
