Engineering Design Handbook: Electrical Wire and Cable

This handbook contains basic information and fundamental data in the desing, usage, and development of wire and cable. The handbook contains a wide variety of useful information and quantitative facts as well as authoritative references helpful in the design, development, usage, and maintenance, of wires and cables used in modern electronic and electrical systems.

The objective of this handbook is to provide a practical guide to correct design of equipment to meet the exacting transmission requirements of the many and varied aspects of today’s electronic and electrical systems. The designer who considers the proper technology of wire and cable design can alleviate many problems in proper commission and installation techniques, whereas, the designer who ignores this technology can and does greatly multiply the problem.

Also included are a glossary of terms and a listing of equations for quick references.
