Review
"A reader from Santa Cruz, CA; Dugan's book is an excellent reference on power quality. Nicely organized, starting with terms and definitions, and finishing with advice on making measurements. Very readable, with minimal use of equations, and maximum use of sketches, drawings, and graphical data. A must have for every power quality professional
From the Back Cover
More than 200 pages of new material!
Here is the clearest, most complete reference on understanding the causes of power quality problems and learning how to prevent them. Nearly twice the size of the previous edition, Electric Power Systems Quality, 2e has been expanded and updated to reflect the increasing sensitivity of microelectronic devices and the ever-growing stress placed upon the power grid.
Written in a highly readable, easily accessible style – minus the heavy-duty math, this much-needed resource discusses every essential aspect of basic power quality and methods used to protect electronic systems. Coverage includes:
* How to protect against voltage sags and interruptions
* The principles of harmonics and filtering
* Common wiring and grounding problems, along with solutions
* Transient overvoltages due to lightning and switching
* The technical impact of problems on various load equipment
* Utility and end-user strategies for improved power qualities
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
* Maintaining power quality in distributed generation systems
* Benchmarking power quality
* Power quality in electric wiring
* And much more
Invaluable to everyone working in the field, from utility engineers to industrial plan technicians to power quality consultants, Electrical Power Systems Quality, 2e is the book you should own if you could have only one book on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well organized, complex and up-to-date.,
By "wtw200" (wtw@iet.auc.dk ; Aalborg University, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrical Power Systems Quality (Hardcover)
I have recently asked some electrical engineers to recommend me a good book concerning Power Quality. Each of them gave me two or three recommendations and only "Electrical Power Systems Quality" by R. C. Dugan, M. F. McGranaghan, S. Santoso and H. W. Beaty appeared in all recommendations... Indeed, it seems to me to be one of the best books about Power Quality I have ever read. It is very well organized, complex and up-to-date, and above all it is very useful for my research project as it offers clear descriptions (understanding) of all, important Power Quality issues. I would recommend it as a kind of compendium for engineers, designers and researchers that work not only with Power Quality but also with modern Electric Power Systems in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars
It is a handbook for power every quality professional,
By Qianlu Yan (Shanghai, China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrical Power Systems Quality (Hardcover)
This is a very good handbook for not only power quality professional,but also electrical engineers. With well organized chapters, it covered comprehensive knowledge of power quality and relevant experience of authors. I really hope it can be translated into Chinese and let more power quality professionals share this valuable resource.
