Introduction to Ultrasonic Motors [Books and Reports]

Covering virtually all areas of distribution engineering, this thoroughly up-to-date reference examines the unique behavior of utilities and provides the practical knowledge necessary to solve real-world distribution problems. Simplifying seemingly difficult concepts and calculations, Power Distribut ion Engineering addresses topics typically associated with power quality such as sags, swells, harmonics, electromagnetic fields, and stray voltage ... describes dif ferent types o f system designs and grounding as well as values for voltage, line lengths, and load and fault levels ... details the loading, construction, and rating of various transformers ...p resents methods to maximize the effectiveness of capacitor placement ... explains overcurrent and overvoltage protection of distribution systems ... evaluates utilities using economic techniques that incorporate ideas such as present worth, carrying charge, cost of losses, operating costs, and customer satisfaction ... and more. Furnishing over 425 helpful equations, tables, drawings, and photographs, P o w e r D i s t r i b u t i o n Engineering is an invaluable resource for electrical and electronics, utility distribution, power systems, control, protection, and relaying engineers, as well as graduate students in these disciplines. James J. Burke is the manager of Distr ibution Engineering at Power Technologies, Inc., Schenectady, New York, and the primary author and instructor of Power Technologies, Inc.'s distribution engineering course. The author or coauthor of over 50 technical papers, including two prize papers, and the holder of one US. patent, Burke is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and presently serves as chair of both the Working Group on Distribution Neutral Grounding and the Distribution Subcommittee. He received the BSEE degree (1965) from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, and the MSlA degree (1970) in operations research f rom Union College, Schenectady, New York.
