This third edition is thoroughly revised and completely reorganized
to reflect the changing demands of modern power systems. To ease
navigation, many sections are now presented as separate chapters
filled with updated and expanded information. Most notably, the
author adds heavily in the areas of transient suppression hardware,
electrical system components, and power system fundamentals.
Following a logical progression, coverage flows from power system
operation to protecting equipment loads, selecting the right level
of protection, grounding, standby power, and safety. Along the way,
the author paints a clear picture of the sources of disturbances,
the tradeoffs involved for different options, and the advantages
and limitations of various approaches.
