The modernization of industrial power systems has been stifled by 
industry's acceptance of extremely outdated practices. Industry 
is hesitant to depart from power system design practices 
influenced by the economic concerns and technology of the post 
World War II period. In order to break free of outdated 
techniques and ensure product quality and continuity of 
operations, engineers must apply novel techniques to plan, 
design, and implement electrical power systems.

Based on the author's 40 years of experience in Industry, 
Industrial Power Systems illustrates the importance of reliable 
power systems and provides engineers the tools to plan, 
design, and implement one. Using materials from IEEE courses 
developed for practicing engineers, the book covers relevant 
engineering features and modern design procedures, including 
power system studies, grounding, instrument transformers, and 
medium-voltage motors. The author provides a number of 
practical tables, including IEEE and European standards, and 
design principles for industrial applications. 

Long overdue, Industrial Power Systems provides power 
engineers with a blueprint for designing electrical systems that 
will provide continuously available electric power at the quality 
and quantity needed to maintain operations and standards of 
production.
