Short description
Handbook of Power Quality provides a comprehensive analysis of power quality problems, with background theory and guidelines on measurement procedures and problem solving. With contributions from experts in all aspects of power quality, it gives a balanced presentation of both scientific and practical information, making it attractive to a broad audience of both practicing engineers and researchers, and those without specific knowledge of power quality. Each chapter is illustrated with a case study to demonstrate the particular application or topic discussed and there are extensive appendices listing current standards, mathematical formulas, and principles of electrical circuits.
