Review
This handbook makes a natural companion for the Electric Motor Handbook, as readers are presented with a manual that outlines the diagnosis, testing and maintenance of various forms of electrical equipment. Appropriate as a teaching text, and also as a 'bench' reference for the professional technician who will be able to rely on this material to assist in trouble-shooting and repairs. Highly recommended to both college and public sector libraries as a general reference text.
All the essentials you need to know when working with any type of electrical equipment and systems are covered in the Electrical Equipment Handbook: Troubleshooting and Maintenance. The handbook presents key concepts in a simple, straightforward format without relying on complex math equations. Fundamentals, basic design, operating characteristics, testing, inspection, specifications, selection criteria, advanced fault detection techniques, troubleshooting tips, and maintenance issues are all covered. And that's not all! Also covered are the latest technological advancements and rules to keep your equipment running at peak efficiency.

About the Author
Philip Kiameh, M.A.Sc., B.Eng., P.Eng., D.Eng., is a teacher at the University of Toronto. During the past twelve years, he taught certified courses in power generation, electrical and mechanical equipment, power plant engineering, and industrial instrumentation and modern control systems. In May 1996, he was awarded the first "Excellence in Teaching" award by the University of Toronto.
Mr. Kiameh wrote the following books: Power Generation Handbook and Industrial Instrumentation and Modern Control Systems. He received his engineering degree from Dal-Tech (formerly, Technical University of Nova Scotia) "with distinction" and completed his graduate studies at the University of Ottawa. He performed research about power generation equipment with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) at their Chalk River and Whiteshell Laboratories. He also worked in the power plants on Ontario Power Generation (formerly, Ontario Hydro) for over nineteen years where he was responsible for the operation and maintenance of different power plant systems.
Reviews:
Philip Kiameh has done a remarkable job of providing in depth description of electrical equipment in pleasantly readable format. Professionals of electrical and non-electrical backgrounds will find this reference invaluable. This book is very well illustrated and descriptive with particular focus on maintenance. This is a truly valuable reference to the industrial professional with major electrical equipment to maintain and operate.
Mr Kiameh has done it again. He has captured his vast practical knowledge into this simple yet comprehensive handbook. The difference between this book and a typical text used in the academic world is that one can find solutions and descriptions to their plant problems; the academic texts are heavily biased to the theorectical while Mr. Kiameh's approach hinges strongly in the industrial aspects.
Philip Kiameh has provided us with another practical book that focuses on Power Generation equipments. This book begins with an introduction to Electrical Engineering concepts and then continues with electric machinery, motors, transformers and generators. This book is very well written with excellent examples and figures. The book is also intended for those who are not electrical engineers and provides a comprehensive picture of electrical equipments in industrial applicatons. It is a must for anyone working in an industrial environment.
The author puts his decades of design and maintenance experience into this book. You will find the latest information on all common electrical equipment utilized in a power generation or other type of processing plants.
This book covers: basic concepts and equations, technology used, application, testing, as well as maintenance. The approach is very hands-on and it will enhence your knowledge as the electrical expert.
However, this book is written in very simple labnguage. It will also benefit students or non-electrical technical staff trying to gain a quick overall picture.
This is one of your best reference handbook.
