Basic Electrical And Instrumentation Engineering

Electrical and instrumentation engineering is changing rapidly, and it is important for the veteran engineer in the field not only to have a valuable and reliable reference work which he or she can consult for basic concepts, but also to be up to date on any changes to basic equipment or processes that might have occurred in the field. Covering all of the basic concepts, from three-phase power supply and its various types of connection and conversion, to power equation and discussions of the protection of power system, to transformers, voltage regulation, and many other concepts, this volume is the one-stop, "go to" for all of the engineer's questions on basic electrical and instrumentation engineering. There are chapters covering the construction and working principle of the DC machine, all varieties of motors, fundamental concepts and operating principles of measuring, and instrumentation, both from a "high end" point of view and the point of view of developing countries, emphasizing low-cost methods. A valuable reference for engineers, scientists, chemists, and students, this volume is applicable to many different fields, across many different industries, at all levels. It is a must-have for any library.

The book covers all the aspects of Basic Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering for undergraduate course. Various concepts of three phase a.c. circuit analysis with balanced and unbalanced loads, tariff and power factor improvement, single phase and three phase transformers, d.c. machines, single phase and three phase induction motors, alternators, synchronous motors, basics of measuring instruments and transducers are explained in the book with the help of comprehensive approach. The book starts with explaining the three phase a.c. circuit analysis with balanced and unbalanced loads, concept of transmission, distribution and power system protection. The discussion of tariff and power factor improvement is also added in support. The book further explains single phase and three phase transformers. Then book provides the detailed discussion of d.c. generators and motors. The book also includes the discussion of three phase and single phase induction motors, synchronous generators, synchronous motors and other motors such as stepper motor, brushless d.c. motor and universal motor. The book covers the classification and basic requirements of a measuring instrument. Then the book explains the static and dynamic characteristics and types of errors in measuring instruments. The book provides in depth discussion of electronic multimeter and oscilloscope. The book teaches the details of various types of transducers like resistive, inductive, capacitive, thermoelectric, piezoelectric, photoelectric and Hall effect transducers. The book uses plain, simple and lucid language to explain each topic. Each chapter gives the conceptual knowledge about the topic dividing it in the various sections and subsections. Each chapter provides the detailed explanation of the topic, practical examples and variety of solved problems. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.

Basic Instrumentation for Engineers and Physicists provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of instrumentation and measurements. This book discusses the method of building up an instrumentation system. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the instruments designed for use by human operatives that are usually of the visual reading type. This text then examines the common methods of length measurement by means of scales and by means of gauge blocks. Other chapters consider kilogram as the internationally recognized fundamental unit of mass, which is defined by a standard mass known as the International Prototype Kilogram. This book discusses as well the importance of precise determination of time. The final chapter deals with the assembly of apparatus appropriate for the measurements that have to be made in carrying out a specific project. This book is a valuable resource for engineers, physicists, scientists, students, and research workers.

This book Principles of Electrical, Electronics, and Instrumentation Engineering presents a comprehensive, intuitive, conceptual, and hand-on introduction with an emphasis on creative problem-solving. The book is an attempt that has been made to keep each topic very simple and self-explanatory.

The inclusion of an electrical measurement course in the undergraduate curriculum of electrical engineering is important in forming the technical and scientific knowledge of future electrical engineers. This book explains the basic measurement techniques, instruments, and methods used in everyday practice. It covers in detail both analogue and digital instruments, measurements errors and uncertainty, instrument transformers, bridges, amplifiers, oscilloscopes, data acquisition, sensors, instrument controls and measurement systems. The reader will learn how to apply the most appropriate measurement method and instrument for a particular application, and how to assemble the measurement system from physical quantity to the digital data in a computer. The book is primarily intended to cover all necessary topics of instrumentation and measurement for students of electrical engineering, but can also serve as a reference for engineers and practitioners to expand or refresh their knowledge in this field.
