Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Poor power quality can damage computers, phone systems and other microelectronic devices. This book provides a non-mathematical guide to basic power-quality strategies and methods used to protect electronic systems. Changes in both the nature of microelectronic devices (their increasing sensitivity) and the power grid (the increasing stress upon it) are reflected in this new edition, which features over 200 pages of new material and is nearly twice the size of the first edition.

CHOICE Review

This well-written, timely book informs about one of the newest fields in the electric power industry--power quality. Two of the authors not only have worked in this area for many years but have also actively participated in developing US and international power quality standards. Since this is a new field, the authors begin with an explanation of terms. They then discuss the basic types of power quality problems; voltage sags and momentary outages that arise from motor starting and fault clearing; transient overvoltages from switching and lightning; longer term voltage variations and voltage regulation; and harmonics. The book finishes with chapters on common wiring problems and measurements for diagnosing power quality problems. There are very few books on this topic; recently published were Electric Power Quality, by G.T. Heydt (1991), and Electric Power Quality Control Techniques, by W.E. Kazibwe and M.H. Sendaula (1993); both provide more quantitative treatments. The more qualitative approach of the book under review opens the subject to a wider audience. The address of a World Wide Web homepage on the topic is included. General; upper-division undergraduates through professionals; two-year technical program students. L. J. Bohmann Michigan Technological University
