Introduces the fundamentals of the energy-delivery part of electrical systems. Begins with a study of basic electrical circuits and then focuses on electrical power. Three-phase power systems, transformers, induction motors, and magnetics are the major topics. All of the material in the text is illustrated with completely-worked examples to guide the student to a better understanding of the topics. This short lecture book will be of use at any level of engineering, not just electrical. Its goal is to provide the practicing engineer with a practical, applied look at the energy side of electrical systems. The author's "pragmatic" and applied style gives a unique and helpful "non-idealistic, practical, opinionated" introduction to the topic.
