Industrial Power Engineering and Applications Handbook by K.C. Agrawal. The Industrial Power Engineering and Applications Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the various aspects of power engineering, and it is intended to provide a practical, easy-to-understand approach to the subject matter. The book covers a wide range of topics, including electric power generation, transmission and distribution, electric motors and drives, power electronics, and power system protection and switchgear. It is designed to be a valuable resource for engineers and engineering students who are working with or studying power systems, and it is written in a way that is intended to make the subject matter easy to understand and apply in a practical setting. This book is split into five parts. A summary of each part follows.
