Synopsis

Master the essential calculations every electrical engineer, designer, and technician needs—organized, simplified, and explained with real-world examples.

This comprehensive handbook is your go-to reference for tackling everyday challenges in electrical design and analysis. Whether you are preparing for exams, working on residential or commercial projects, or simply looking to refresh your knowledge, this book equips you with the tools and confidence to get it right the first time.

This handbook provides practical, application-focused examples for electrical engineers. Each chapter is structured with a Use Case → Calculation Steps → Schedule → Standards format. Appendices provide ready-reference tables, symbols, acronyms, and checklists.

This handbook is designed as a practical, application-driven reference for electrical engineers, designers, and students. Instead of presenting abstract theory, each chapter focuses on a real-world use case. Calculations are explained step by step, schedules are provided where applicable, and references to electrical codes and standards are included.
This structure ensures that readers can quickly apply engineering principles to actual design problems, while also staying compliant with codes such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), IEC standards, and other relevant regulations.

🔧 What’s Inside:

• Step-by-step calculations for power, lighting, grounding, short circuit, feeder, and service sizing.

• Worked examples that bridge theory and practice—easy to follow and directly applicable.

• Quick reference tables and standards aligned with NEC requirements.

• Formulas explained in context, so you not only know how but also why.

• Practical case studies covering panels, transformers, motors, and distribution systems.

👷 Who This Book Is For:

• Practicing electrical engineers and designers.

• Students preparing for the FE, PE, or master electrician exams.

• Contractors and technicians who need reliable, on-the-job references.

• Anyone seeking a clear, practical, and standards-based guide to electrical engineering calculations.

Instead of flipping through multiple code books, guides, and online sources, keep everything you need in one professional, easy-to-use reference.

⚡ Solve problems faster. Design with confidence. Work smarter.

This book has been prepared by the Practicing Engineers Network, a collective of professionals with several years of hands-on experience in electrical design, installation, and code compliance. The Network brings together licensed engineers, project managers, and field practitioners who have not only designed and overseen large-scale power distribution systems, but also trained aspiring engineers for professional licensure exams.

Members of the Practicing Engineers Network have worked across diverse sectors—commercial, industrial, and utility power systems—giving them a comprehensive understanding of the challenges engineers face both in practice and during exam preparation. Their collective expertise ensures that the content is not only accurate and aligned with the latest exam specifications, but also enriched with practical insights, problem-solving strategies, and real-world examples.

The goal of the Practicing Engineers Network is simple: to empower future Professional Engineers with the knowledge, confidence, and tools needed to pass the PE Electrical and Computer: Power Exam on the first attempt, while also fostering a deeper understanding of engineering concepts that will serve them throughout their careers.
