Synopsis

Determining the most efficient and cost-effective approach to the design and installation of electrical equipment depends on accurate and reliable calculations - calculations which this handbook seeks to provide. Professionals should find examples of the calculations they use daily to design, install, operate and maintain electrical circuits, systems and equipment. The calculations are organized in two ways: equipment types, including lighting, heating, motors, appliances, ventilation and air conditioning; and electrical systems, including branch circuits, feeders, motor circuits, transformer circuits, services, overcurrent protection, conductor sizes and more. The book can be used for residential, commercial, institutional, recreational and industrial facilities.
