Great book!!!!!

If you are an electrical engineering student or planning to do it and you want to build a foundation in ee this is the book for you. Its explanation of inductance,capacitance,3 phase supply,induction and synch motor is simply fantastic

Very good introduction

This review applies to the 6th edition. This is a very good introduction to all of the various technologies of modern commercial AC power. It includes good descriptions of various 3-phase systems and their components (alternators, transformers, and motors). The book starts with the the very basics, but a working knowledge of basic math and electronics helps. Very readable with good diagrams. If you want to understand the difference between split-phase and three-phase current, or the difference between an induction motor and a synchronous motor, this is the book for you.
