The Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers has served the EE field for nearly a century. Originally published in 1907, through 14 previous editions it has been a required resource for students and professionals. This new 15th edition features new material focusing on power generation and power systems operation – two longstanding strengths of the handbook that have recently become front-burner technology issues. At the same time, the entire format of the handbook will be streamlined, removing archaic sections and providing a quick, easy look-up experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Didn't find helpful for PE review,
By The Bus (NC, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers (Hardcover)
After having the book for over a couple weeks and not using it for a single reason while studying for the POWER PE, I've decided to return it. It's not worth $130 in my mind. Sure, it has some good stuff in it, but that's a lot of money for a book that I may never use again. I honestly don't think it would help during the test, and if I'm at home or at work I can easily find better information in a different reference book or online. I should also note, I TRIED, MANY TIMES to use it to look up topics while studying but it was completely useless, in my opinion. I'm sure somebody can find it useful, but not I. Hope this helps you out.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for certain aspects,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers (Hardcover)
Great book with heaps of detail towards Heavy Electrical and theory, slightly touches on building services but dont expect great details on electronics or communications etc. Covers instruments quite well, bits are easy to understand and other parts are worded unusually, maybe this is because the aurthors are from other countries with slightly different technical vocabulary (to were i am from), or maybe they just want to sound smart. Anyways well worth a buy as your bound to use it every now and again, good diagrams lots of interesting stuff.
