FACTS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT ELECTRONICS IN HYDRAULICS

The ultimate purpose of the present training source was is to provide all hydraulics technicians with enough basic knowledge on electrical/electronic circuits and supplement it with some practical exercises for easier finding and remedy of the failures that may occur in integrated hydraulic and electrical installations/systems.

However, we are not intending to make anyone believe that the present publication may enable them immediately start the repair of the electrical equipment straight upon completion of the material provided in its pages. The document has been divided by the authors in the several chapters, with the first one providing the very basic information required to any specialist. The second chapter deals with the electric units - their designation, assigned symbols, abbreviations etc.

Then there goes a chapter dedicated to the active and passive components of any electronic hardware, followed by the chapter on the coils and capacitors, describing the capacity, charge and discharge, phase shifts, series and parallel connection, marking and application, speed-up etc; resonance circuits and transformers have also been addressed here. The rest of the chapters in this book deal with the semi-conductors, transistors, operational amplifiers, troubleshooting, and Danfoss hydraulics.

ELECTRIC MACHINES — MODELING, CONDITION MONITORING, AND FAULT DIAGNOSIS

There is a huge number of motors being used in our everyday life, in nearly everything from communication technologies to transportation; it obviously means that any unexpected failures of the various electrical equipment could easily lead to the significant losses. And, in order to prevent the occurrence of any such loss, it is critically important to properly detect and subsequently monitor the due working condition of the electric motor.

This book is aimed to review the diagnosis techniques and provides all interested parties with a guide for their application. It will be very useful to the readers who are willing to research and further develop/implement effective fault diagnosis as well as effective and reliable condition monitoring schemes. The authors of the book, who are all recognized industry experts, made a truly remarkable attempt to combine the theoretical analysis with the practical applications of the technical knowledge.

The book begins with some guidance on how to properly analyze the fundamentals of the failures using various methods, such as the winding functions method, FEM (standing for the finite element analysis), and magnetic equivalent circuit analysis method. Then, there are several other methods discussed. It describes the implementation strategies that could be utilized by the readers of the book in their day-to-day work...

CABLING — THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO NETWORK WIRING

The authors of the book are glad to welcome readers to the complex and interesting world of cabling for the data communications. Such cabling not only carries the data across the network but is also capable of carrying the voice, alarm signals, serial communications and audio/video transmissions.

Over the last decades, the IT world has begun to understand the significant importance of a good cabling system and this, in turn, caused some sort of explosion in the amount of registered installers of the structured cabling. It took about a year to write this book, including the time that was spent for researching and editing of the collected material, which includes feedbacks, tips and field experience provided by so many manufacturers, distributors and contractors.

The publication consists of three key parts, the first one being dedicated to the cabling technology and components, the second dealing with the network media and connectors, and the last chapter addressing the issues relating to the design and installation of the cabling. There are also some appendices, namely the dictionary of the terms, cabling resources, overview of the relevant standards etc. The Guide for proper identification of cable connectors and tools is also provided.

ELECTRICAL POWER CABLE ENGINEERING

Here is the 2nd, revised and updated release of the popular publication, which continues to serve as one of the best available reference sources on all medium-voltage/low-voltage electrical power cables; it is cataloging all relevant technical characteristics of the cables and is therefore assuring the eventual success for the manufacture, correct choice, installation and operation plus, of course, subsequent technical maintenance of the electrical cables.

Some of the segments related to the insulation of the electrical cables and to the field assessment were revamped in order to make them reflect the latest transformations in the electrical industry; moreover, some completely new chapters were added, for example ones touching the location of the underground faults, thermal resistivity etc. The author of the book, William A. Thue, did pay so much of the attention to the historical perspective of electrical cables, and addressed the basic dielectric theory of electrical cables, major technical characteristics of electro-conductors and cables.

The electrical properties of various insulating materials and shielding of power cables, jackets, sheaths and armors have also been dealt with in this publication. Finally, the last part of this publication has been dedicated to the various relevant industry specifications and standards.​

ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS

For the past half-century or even more than that, the electrical energy has significantly diversified and got much broader. There are several new topic areas that range from light-wave technology to the microelectro-mechanics. The book has been prepared and released with the specific intention to keep pace with the industry progress mentioned above.

The technical info contained in this publication can hardly be found in any other publication, presented in a single volume. The opening chapter of the publication provides readers with quite a brief intro to the basic concepts that are relating to the electrical power system structure, just an overview, while the following two parts have been solely dedicated to the parameters of the multi-circuit transmission lines. Then, the steady state and transient presentations are discussed together with the modeling of the synchronous machines.

After that, the chapters come dealing with the power system component modeling and covering the modeling, performance and compensation of the transmission lines, presenting the coverage of the load flow solutions, covering balanced and unbalanced flow analysis, discussing upon the key concepts of power system stability types, AGC of interconnected and isolated electric power systems etc.
