Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book on "Power System Engineering" has been written for students preparing for B.E., B.Tech., A.M.I.E. (I) Section B, U.P.S.C., and other Competitive Examinations. It comprises three parts: Part-I deals with "Generation", Part-II with "Transmission and Distribution" while Part-III includes "Switchgear and Protection". The book contains 28 chapters in all, at the end "Objective Type Question Bank" has also been added. Salient Features The presentation of the subject matter is very systematic and the language of the text is lucid, direct and easy to understand. Each chapter of book is saturated with much needed text supported by neat and self-explanatory diagrams to make the subject self-speaking to a great extent. A large number of solved examples, properly graded, have been added in various chapters to enable the students to attempt different types of questions in the examination without any difficulty. At the end of each chapter Highlights, Objective Type Questions, Theoretical Questions and Unsolved Examples have been added to make the book a complete and comprehensive unit in all respects.

Includes index.
