Excerpt from Switches and Switchgear
UP to the present practically no specialised comprehensive literature on the subject of Switchgear has been available in the English language, and hence no further apology is necessary for placing the translation of Professor Edler's extensive work before the British Engineering Public.
Although the work naturally deals more largely with Con tinental types of Switchgear than English ones, and although, furthermore, some of the types described no longer correspond to the most modern ideas of design, the book should nevertheless - particularly in view of the fact that it is the first English work which combines a theoretical treatment of the subject with a comprehensive series of practical examples of design, and at the same time constitutes in a measure a history of the development of Switchgear - fill a gap in English technical literature and prove of exceptional interest to all who are con cerned with this branch of electro-technology.
A few additions and alterations have been made by the trans lator and some parts have been re-written; but, in the main.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the design and construction of switchgear, an essential component of electrical systems. The author examines the development of switchgear in historical context, offering a detailed analysis of various designs and components that have been employed over time. The book covers the fundamental principles of switchgear operation, exploring the different types of contacts, springs, and other elements involved in controlling electrical circuits. The author discusses the critical role of insulation in high-voltage switchgear and the evolution of design from simple lever switches to more sophisticated horn switches and oil switches. The book delves into the technical considerations involved in achieving reliable and safe operation at ever-increasing voltages and current strengths. The insights presented in this book are particularly valuable for engineers and technicians working in the field of electrical engineering, providing a solid foundation for understanding the design and application of switchgear in various settings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
