2.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for -, July 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Electrical Power Systems (Paperback)

This book provides a good , basic intoduction to power systems. However, the number of errors and typos in this book is unexceptable. Every section has several errors in it. Many important topics are glossed over. After being out of school for several years, I have been using this to review subjects for the P.E. exam that I don't work with on a daily basis. This is not the book to use for this because of the number of errors.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Electrical Power Systems (Paperback)

In view of the fact that "Ideal for self-study!" is one of the Schaum's milestone assertions, one could expect that those kinds of books are fully revised before being published. Unfortunately, it seems they are not. Nasar's book sounds interesting, but it has too many errors. This is of no help for those who want to prepare a subject by their own. I recommend not to buy this 1989 edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars all in one review that covers the basics, December 30, 1997

By

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Electrical Power Systems (Paperback)

For the price it can't be beat. It covers the basics and gives a good intro in to 3 phase power systems (something they don't teach anymore to EE students at universitys). If you are looking for loads of examples and good reading you will not find it in this book. The solved examples are few, and the sample problems are not very practical.
