Electricity 3
Power
Generation, and Delivery
Ninth Edition
Jeff Keljik
Designed for both novice and practicing
electrical workers, Electricity: Power Generation and Delivery,
9th Edition, explores various types of generators and the
delivery of single phase and three-phase power to the customer site.
The ninth edition is updated to the
2008
National Electrical Code® and includes safety features from the
power supply industry and current OSHA standards where
applicable. This updated edition also features all-new coverage of
generator maintenance and troubleshooting and expanded coverage of
transfer switches, transformers, and connections.
With a continued focus on the “hows” and
“whys” of electrical system operation, readers will gain a solid
understanding that goes beyond what to do in an electrical problem
to why various electrical procedures are important.
