 The third edition of the Power Electronics Handbook by Muhammad Rashid. Power electronics of today is a growing area that is using the latest electronics technologies to convert between different forms of electric power; it has so many applications in the human life such as the motor drives, a/c units, power supplies and sources of renewable energy.
The present handbook was intended to address literally all aspects that are relating to the switching devices, control technique, including various analytical methods and their applications. The book was specifically designed to appeal to the new generation of engineering professionals.
The publication includes four chapters dedicated to the renewable energy, energy storage and transmission, DCG, i.e. distributed and cogeneration technology, generating sets, variable speed electric generators, wind turbines, fuel cells etc. The readers of this book, upon its completion, will be able to provide a real leadership in the field of the technical design applied to the various power electronics projects.
It consists of forty-five chapters with the valuable contributions that have been made by the leading experts in the industry. The author has managed to achieve the purpose to provide people with the useful but quite concise reference equally suitable to students and pro's.
 The main objective of the present revision of the publication was to address all the valuable comments provided by the readers as well as professional reviewers and also to deal with the ongoing industry trends. The newly added and thoroughly reworked information will help to expand the specific knowledge area. The content of the book was rearranged by the author to embed the new chapters and remove the material that was used less.
One of the features of this edition is that the author added the objectives to the beginning of each of the chapters. There are more than twenty chapters in the book, each chapter covering one important topic. The volume opens with the information about the current and voltage, resistance and Ohm’s Laws, series and parallel direct current circuits, different analysis methods, inductors and capacitors and magnetic circuits.
After that, we will proceed to the essential elements and phasors, alternating waveforms, and then power, resonance, network theorems and analysis methods as applied to the alternating current. The polyphase systems and transformers are covered in the separate chapters. An excellent reference and training source for the students and practicing electrician and engineers.

 This is the third edition of one of the most popular and useful publications related to the batteries. Considering the incredibly fast and steady growth of the manufacturing industry, it is understandable why the interest and demand for the safe and efficient batteries has grown, correspondingly.
The author of this reference book has made a successful attempt to collect the technical information available today on the different battery types in a single volume, which would be of great practical use for the people dealing with the batteries in the course of their day to day work.
After the introduction, some good and easy to understand guidelines have been provided on how to select the battery, followed with the section on the characteristics of the commonly used batteries, from lead acid, nickel and silver batteries to mercury, lithium, manganese, water-activated and so many others – literally all of them are covered.
Then, the readers will proceed to the general theoretical essentials and design of the batteries, together with evaluation of their performance. The next section of the volume is devoted to the applications of the different type of batteries. After that, you will receive good tips on the charging of the batteries, as well as the primary battery suppliers.
 The content of the present publication belonging to the world popular Reed’s series, continues the one of the "Basic Electrotechnology for Engineers” which we would encourage you to check prior to going for the “Advanced” version. There are many worked examples included in the book together with the worked problems, all supplemented with the good and clear explanations.
There are thirteen chapters in this book, the first one dealing with the direct current machines, including their testing, output, efficiency, working in parallel and other aspects. The second chapter covers the transformers, particularly their operating principles, EMF equation, primary and secondary phasor diagrams, voltage drops, resistance, impedance, etc. In the third chapter the author continues dealing with the DC machines, explaining the winding, commutation, armature reaction, cross-field generators.
After that the trainees will proceed to the theory of the subject machines including the electromagnetic induction, resistors, circuits, current asymmetry and other aspects. the rest of the publication addresses the alternators, transductors, induction motors, electronics and so many other important areas.
 Please have a look at this newer edition of one of the most popular titles for the electricians. The content of the publication was significantly updated in comparison with the previous release of the handbook. It is now presented in both pdf and epub formats for easier use on all possible devices.
For decades this handbook served as a great reference and study tool for the electricians not only in the United States, but actually all around the planet. Featuring impressive number of the topics covered, combined with the clear explanations and remarkable reader-friendliness, this title is deservedly treated as the must-have for any practicing electrician.
You will find everything you need in the pages of this volume, and do it very fast. The content of the book was revised to include all latest advances and also the amendments to the NEC, standing for the National Electrical Code, and includes huge amount of newly introduced material, photos, data tables and pictures.
Among others, the fine-stranded conductors have been dealt with in detail together with all associated equipment and applicable termination rules. Same applies to the autotransformers, control panels, pulling calculations and so many other important areas.
 The book embraces a huge number of applications of modern math and teaches both continuous and discrete systems particularly vital for DSP; moreover, since the engineers of today are required to be in line with the software, applicable information has been integrated in the present publication.
The author of the textbook did her best when trying to avoid going into too excessive technical details and using specific language. The emphasis in the book has rather been made to an application of the basic concepts behind the math, for solving the problems and undertaking the critical analysis of the obtained results. The text of the material has been supplemented with the numerous worked examples and so many exercises were included to ensure that all math theory is really relevant to the real world engineering.
In addition to all that has been stated above, it shall of course be noted that this publication includes a comprehensive introduction to some of the advanced topics like Fourier analysis and random processes/vector calculations. We would say that this publication shall definitely be considered a must-have book for anyone dealing with such calculations since it is truly comprehensive textbook that would provide them with desired technical information on calculations.
