Product Description
Electrical Fires and Failures: A Prevention and Troubleshooting Guide is must reading for electrical supervisors, engineers and managers. Author A.A. Hattangadi shows you how improvements in specification and design...manufacture and installation...and operation and maintenance of minor components, can prevent failures and fires, while reducing capital and maintenance costs. He introduces the concept of "seed-defect", basic flaws that can be identified and eliminated to achieve zero-failure performance. You'll explore... *Failures of transformers, connectors and terminals *Fractures and overheating/burning of crimped sockets *Failures of wire strands, terminal boards, connector cable insulation and welded brazed and soldered joints *Metal fatigue and creep *Electrical contact resistance and shrinkage of non-metallic materials *Thermal degradation of insulating materials *Electrical tracking *And more.
