Electrical Power Simplified

PREFACE This book simplifies electrical power engineering and provides a working knowledge of the field. Equations are avoided as far as possible. I did a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and then switched to a Masters in Economics; mainly because the Engineering Department required me to pay fees. The Economics Department offered me full scholarship since I became the top out of 80 students in two economic courses I took in the summer break after securing my engineering degree. I continued acing the Masters subjects and did better than Rich who shared an office room with me at South Dakota State University. But I always knew Rich was much better than me at Economics. I aced economics because of my engineering knowledge of mathematics and graphs. I needed the tools of equations and graphs to explain things while he could just talk about economic principles fluidly. Of course I have since moved back to engineering and spend the last 22 years striving to reach the fluid knowledge of electrical engineering that Rich had for economics; including doing a PhD in engineering. I can now talk about electrical engineering as Rich talked about economics, without referring to the tools. This book is what bloomed out of that knowledge.
