Reseña del editor

The study of circuits is the foundation on which most other courses in the electrical engineering curriculum are based. For this reason the first course in circuit analysis must be appropriate to the succeeding specializations, which may be classified into two groups. One is a specialization in electro­ nics, microelectronics, communications, computers etc. , or so-called low­ current, low-voltage engineering. The other is in power electronics, power systems, energy conversion devices etc. , or so-called high-current, high­ voltage engineering. It is evident that although there are many common teaching topics in the basic course of circuit analysis, there are also certain differences. Unfortunately most of the textbooks in this field are written from the 'electronic engineer's viewpoint', i. e. with the emphasis on low­ current systems. This brought the author to the conclusion that there is a definite disad­ vantage in not having a more appropriate book for the specializations in high-current, high-voltage engineering. Thus the idea for this book came into being. The major feature distinguishing this book from others on circuit analysis is in delivering the material with a very strong connection to the specializations in the field of power systems, i. e. in high-current and high­ voltage engineering. The author believes that this emphasis gives the reader more opportunity for a better understanding and practice of the material which is relevant for power system network analysis, and to prepare students for their further specializations.

Reseña del editor

This Handbook on circuit analysis is one of the few texts to address the needs of power systems engineers. Unlike many previous books on the subject, which have had an emphasis on low current, this book considers power and high current systems. Consideration is given to both steady state and transient conditions and many examples of power system design are included. The coverage is comprehensive with the first chapters establishing the basics before the author concentrates upon more advanced material. The text gives an in-depth analysis of such areas as magnetically coupled circuits, three phase systems, the non-sinusoidal behaviour of electric circuits and transmission lines. This Handbook will be an invaluable tool for professional engineers in industrial power companies working in the area of power generation and distribution. It is also relevant to postgraduate students and researchers in heavy electrical engineering. Readership: Professional engineers in industrial power companies working on manufacture of equipment and in the electrical supply industry working on power generation and distribution. It is also relevant to postgraduate students and researchers in heavy electrical engineering.
