Book Description
Supplying power to, and grounding of, electronic equipment has been of growing concern to commercial and industrial power system designers. With the proliferation of sensitive electronic loads in industrial and commercial power systems due to rapid changes in the electronics and communications industry, new power-quality-related issues have evolved. As technology advances, sources for electrical power disturbances increase. The IEEE Emerald Book is today’s essential source for providing sound engineering principles and practices for supplying power to, and grounding of, electronic equipment.
The purpose of the IEEE Emerald Book is to recommend design, installation, and maintenance practices for powering and grounding sensitive equipment in commercial and industrial facilities. The main objective is to provide a consensus of recommended practices in an area where, previously, conflicting information and confusion have dominated.
Rather than focusing only on electronic equipment, various basic aspects of grounding are included in the IEEE Emerald Book. Since grounding affects power quality, issues involving power quality are also discussed. Different measurement instruments that help to diagnose problems related to sensitive equipment are shown. In addition, practical analyses of different sites, as well as some case histories, are also given in this book. |
