title: Electrical Installations Handbook: Power Supply and Distribution, Protective Measures, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Electrical Installation Equipment and Systems, Application Examples for Electrical Installation Systems, Building Management, 3rd Edition, 2000
author: Gunter G. Seip
description: Gnter G. Seip Electrical Installations Handbook The Third Edition of this classic reference is designed to provide authoritative guidance for engineers and technicians who have responsibility for planning, designing, building and operating electrical installation systems. The extensively revised scope includes a comprehensive overview of conventional and state-of-the-art installation equipment and its current usage. Special emphasis is placed on equipment with communication capability and the way in which this equipment is networked to the instabus(r) EIB bus system for a wide range of applications in residential and commercial buildings. The construction, dimensioning and protection of electrical distribution systems are treated taking into account the latest developments in systems engineering. In view of the electricity market deregulation and globalization and the associated standardization initiatives that are underway, reference has been made, where appropriate, to international, European and German norms, regulations and standards. This single volume edition is extensively illustrated throughout and includes a broad range of example applications of electrical installation systems.
