Very good book 24 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
The book covers the practical aspects of power system protection without resorting to mind numbing mathematics.Not quite a practitioners bible but a fascinating read for anyone wanting to more about medium and high voltage power system protection techniques.

It is really practical! 29 April 2011
By Wian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have bought this item as part of a refresher program on electrical engineering and in this case specifically in the field of power system protection. Although I have only scan read the book yet the practical approach followed in this book is meeting my expectations.
