The handbook’s primary function is to demystify the "switchgear"—the combination of electrical disconnects, fuses, and circuit breakers used to isolate equipment. The text breaks down the terrifying physics of an electrical arc—the plasma channel hotter than the surface of the sun—into digestible equations and diagrams.
For those responsible for maintaining older infrastructure, this book is gold. Much of the aging infrastructure in the US and Europe consists of the exact legacy equipment described in this handbook. switchgear and control handbook
The handbook is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical electrical engineering and practical application. Its primary focus areas include: The handbook’s primary function is to demystify the
