Mike Holt's Illustrated Guide to Power Quality

Power quality is increasingly important to facility owners/managers, electrical equipment manufacturers, and end-users of electrical products. Good power quality lowers electricity costs, minimizes maintenance problems with electrical installations in buildings and similar structures, and lets electrical utilization equipment operate properly and efficiently. Poor power quality increases electricity costs, causes serious maintenance problems with electrical installations, leads to utilization equipment failures and operational problems, and can even create serious safety problems such as fires of electrical origin. This book will take you from the basics of electricity to understand the impact of wiring errors, NEC violations, as well as Harmonic Currents from nonlinear loads.
