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.

This book was developed from material prepared for a course in instrumentation for final year mechanical engineering undergraduates. The approach used is to present instrumentation from the viewpoints of both electronics and signal analysis. The sensors and electronic circuits likely to be needed by a final year student project and for postgraduate research, are comprehensively covered. It forms a suitable degree-level text for students of engineering, science or medicine seeking a practical guide to instrumentation. It is also hoped that the book will be of use to practising engineers in general. The authors' aim throughout has been to write a book which guides the reader through the intricacies of specifying and selecting an instrumentation system, acquiring data without corrupting or distorting it in the process, and applying sensible signal analysis techniques. Examples and case studies are used to illustrate the techniques discussed, including many drawn from real-life instrumentation problems encountered by the authors in engineering, physics and medicine. The sequence of chapters follows the flow of data from the primary sensing element, through transduction, signal processing and digital conversion to digital signal analysis techniques. This logical sequence ensures that the design process is undertaken in the correct order, and provides continuity for the reader.

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.

Special-function instruments. Microwave passive devices.

This book is an up-to-date text on electronic circuit design. The subject is dealt with from an experimental point of view, but this has not restricted the author to well-known or simple circuits. Indeed, some very recent and quite advanced circuit ideas are put forward for experimental work. Each chapter takes up a particular type of circuit, and then leads the reader on to gain an understanding of how these circuits work by proposing experimental circuits for the reader to build and make measurements on. This is the first book to take such a practical approach to this level. The book will be useful to final year undergraduates and postgraduates in electronics, practising engineers, and workers in all fields where electronic instrumentation is used and there is a need to understand electronics and the interface between the instrument and the user's own experimental system. The book's references will also be a very helpful guide to the literature.

This book contains the best papers of the International Conference on Advances in Power Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, PEIE 2010, organized by the Association of Computer Electronics and Electrical Engineers (ACEEE), during September 7–9, 2010 in Kochi, Kerala, India. PEIE is an international conference integrating two major areas of electrical en- neering – power electronics and instrumentation. Thus this conference reflects a c- tinuing effort to increase the dissemination of recent research results among prof- sionals who work in the areas of power electronics, instrumentation and electrical engineering The program of this joint conference included several outstanding keynote lectures presented by internationally renowned distinguished researchers who are experts in the various PEIE areas. Their keynote speeches have contributed to heightening the ov- all quality of the program and significance of the theme of the conference. I hope that you will find this collection of the best PEIE 2010 papers an excellent source of inspiration as well as a helpful reference for research in the aforementioned areas. Organizing a conference like this one is not possible without the assistance and continuous support of many people and institutions. I thank Stefan Goeller, Janahanlal Stephen, R Vijay Kumar, and Nessy Thankachan for their constant support and gu- ance. I would like to express my gratitude to Springer’s LNCS-CCIS editorial team, especially Leonie Kunz, for producing such a wonderful proceedings book.

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.

This practical resource introduces electrical and electronic principles and technology covering theory through detailed examples, enabling students to develop a sound understanding of the knowledge required by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. No previous background in engineering is assumed, making this an ideal text for vocational courses at Levels 2 and 3, foundation degrees and introductory courses for undergraduates.

“Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and Electronics” is a useful book for undergraduate students of electrical engineering and electronics as well as B.Sc. Electronics. The book discusses concepts such as Network Analysis, Capacitance, Electromagnetic Induction, Motors Circuits and Diodes in an easy to relate and thereby understand manner. Designed in accordance with the syllabi of most major universities, the book is an essential resource for anyone aspiring to learn the fundamentals and teaches students much about the subject itself. A book which has seen, foreseen and incorporated changes in the subject for more than 50 years, it continues to be one of the most sought after texts by the students.
