Fink D.G., Beaty H.W. Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2006. — 2000 Pages. ISBN / ASIN: 0071441468The book has served the EE field for nearly a century. Originally published in 1907, through 14 previous editions it has been a required resource for students and professionals. This new 15th edition features new material focusing on power generation and power systems operation – two longstanding strengths of the handbook that have recently become front-burner technology issues. At the same time, the entire format of the handbook will be streamlined, removing archaic sections and providing a quick, easy look-up experience.Units, Symbols, Definitions, and Conversion Factors
