Editorial Reviews

Review
"This book is well written and offers a nice overview of power system fundamentals at a level that does not require advanced mathematics or physics." (IEEE Power & Energy Magazine, November/December 2008)

"Highly recommends this work for its comprehensive discussion of electric power system terminology, and encourage non-engineering professionals in industry support and auxiliary services (product development, sales, marketing, etc.) to read and keep this excellent resource close at hand." (CHOICE, April 2008)

"'For the Nonelectrical Professional' says this well-illustrated book's subtitle, and the author does a good job of addressing that audience." (Electrical Apparatus, December 2007)

Product Description
