Electrical Power Simplified

RM156.00

This book simplifies electrical power engineering and provides a working knowledge of the field. It avoids as much as possible the complicated calculations which seem to be a standard in most engineering books today. Having 27 years of field experience in engineering and talking to numerous senior engineers, including award-winning inventors, we all agree that calculations are hardly used in engineering jobs. Whenever calculations are needed, they are performed by computers or software applications. Field engineers know that engineering is a very serious subject with a very low tolerance for errors.
