This comprehensive guide provides a thorough understanding of the design and implementation of standard-compliant low voltage electrical systems. It is tailored for planning engineers who are involved in the planning and application of low voltage networks, covering various types of electrical systems such as asynchronous motors, three-phase networks, and lighting systems.

The book is organized in a systematic manner, starting with an introduction to the subject matter, followed by chapters on planning and project management. It then delves into detailed coverage of medium- and low-voltage systems, transformers, asynchronous motors (ASM), switchgear combinations, emergency generators, and lighting systems. Additionally, the book explores equipment for overcurrent protection, protection against electric shock, selectivity, and backup protection.

A dedicated chapter is devoted to the current carrying capacity of conductors and cables, followed by chapters on calculating short circuit currents in three-phase networks and voltage drop calculations. The book concludes with a section on compensating for reactive power and a comprehensive overview of lightning protection systems.

What sets this guide apart is its emphasis on international relevance. The subject of low voltage electrical systems is of immense importance globally, and this book addresses the specific requirements and standards set by organizations such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Numerous tables, diagrams, and worked examples are included to assist practicing engineers in the planning of electrical systems.

The author of this book is an esteemed expert in the field and a member of various national and international standardization committees. Their extensive knowledge and experience in the field are evident throughout the text, making it an invaluable resource for professionals seeking to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in low voltage electrical systems.

Furthermore, the book is complemented by programs on an accompanying website that enable readers to reproduce and adapt calculations on their own. This practical feature enhances the learning experience and allows engineers to apply the concepts discussed in the book to their specific projects.

In summary, Analysis and Design of Electrical Power Systems: A Practical Guide and Commentary on NEC and IEC 60364 is a comprehensive and authoritative guide that covers all aspects of the design and implementation of standard-compliant low voltage electrical systems. It is an essential resource for planning engineers, electrical engineers, and anyone involved in the field of electrical power systems.
