| Paul Gill’s original book, Electrical Equipment Testing and Maintenance (1982), and the fi rst edition, Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing published in 1997, were the fi rst two books that addressed the practical aspects of electrical testing and maintenance of power system equipment and apparatus. Both books presented testing methodologies and engineering basics on the subject of electrical testing and maintenance in one volume. Considered the electrical testing and maintenance “bible,” Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing has been the leading treatise on the subject and an essential reference book for engineers and technicians concerned with the maintenance and testing of electrical power system equipment and apparatus. Both of these textbooks were a must read for the plant electrical engineer and plant maintenance technician as well as for electrical engineering graduates and students. The fi rst edition has become a required reading for institutions offering electrical testing and maintenance curricula. The fi rst edition has also been an invaluable aid for technicians studying for the InterNational Electrical Testing Association’s (NETA) levels II, III, and IV test technician examinations and is a valued reference for engineers and technicians in the electrical testing industry.
The second edition contains major revisions and is an improvement of the fi rst edition. It represents a great deal of effort and study on the part of the author to compile, sort, and apply information and data supplied by manufacturers and allied industries together with that made available by relevant industry standards, institutions, and associations. The second edition is an invaluable book for practicing engineers, technicians, managers, and others who are involved in the testing, maintenance, and care of electrical equipment and apparatus, as well as engineering students pursuing further studies in this fi eld. This new book has been substantially enhanced by the addition of updated information on various subjects. |
