Handbook Of Electrical Science
(Volumes 1-4)
Basic
understanding of electricity
The information in the handbook is presented to provide a foundation for applying engineering concepts to the job. This knowledge
will help personnel more fully understand the impact that their actions may
have on the safe and reliable operation of facility components and systems.
The Electrical Science handbook consists of fifteen modules that are
contained infour volumes.
The following is a brief
description of the information presented in each module of the handbook.
