Book Description
The IEEE Red Book provides detailed procedures for planning the electric power distribution system of an industrial plant. Moreover, it provides complete information on electrical design criteria to ensure safety and preservation of property. Tables, charts, and other information that have been extracted from codes, standards, and other technical literature are included in this paper for illustrative purposes. Information on system planning, voltage considerations, short-circuit current calculations, protection, grounding, and harmonics are a few of the issues addressed in this book. No other publication contains more useful, authoritative information on electrical design for industrial facilities.
The IEEE Red Book is today’s essential source for recommended practices in the area of electrical design of industrial facilities and power distribution in industrial plants. This book is valuable to the power-oriented engineer with limited industrial-plant experience. It can also serve as a reference for engineers responsible for the electrical design of industrial facilities. The IEEE Red Book enables the engineer to better understand the special requirements of industrial facilities and the codes that govern them. It is not intended, however, as a replacement for the many excellent engineering texts and handbooks commonly in use, nor is it detailed enough to be a design manual. It should be considered a guide and general reference on electrical design for industrial plants and buildings. |
