Features: This book focuses on power supply engineering design and technical applications, discussing the basic theories, engineering design methods, and operational management knowledge of power supply systems for industrial and civil electricity users. The book is divided into ten chapters, including: Introduction, Load Calculation and Reactive Power Compensation, Short-Circuit Current Calculation, Electrical Apparatus, Cables and Their Selection, Primary Wiring of Power Supply Systems, Secondary Wiring of Power Supply Systems, Relay Protection of Power Supply Systems, Automation of Power Supply Systems, Grounding and Lightning Protection, and Improvement of Power Quality. For teaching convenience, some important chapters are equipped with examples, and each chapter includes review questions and exercises. Most of the examples and exercises in the book are derived from engineering practice. The book emphasizes the practicality of basic theories and fully reflects the new developments in power supply technology and the updated requirements of standards and regulations. It includes new discussions on neutral point grounding methods in power systems, short-circuit current calculation in low-voltage networks, high and low-voltage electrical apparatus, selection of protection devices for low-voltage distribution circuits, secondary wiring of power supply systems, microcomputer protection and automation, and lightning protection for information systems. This book can serve as a textbook for electrical engineering and automation majors in higher education institutions, as well as a training and reference book for power supply engineering design and operation technicians.
