Product Description

Product Description
Fires resulting from "material failure" or "equipment failure" are fairly common. The real reason is usually introduced at design or installation of the equipment. This book explains how and why electrical fires and failures are caused and what steps can be taken to prevent them.

From the Back Cover
Play It Safe. Play It Smart. GET ZERO FAILURE PERFORMANCE FROM ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.


With a Foreword by H. Brooke Stauffer, Director of Codes and Standards of the National Electrical Contractors Association


Get the jump on costly and damaging electrical problems, before they spark. Electrical Fires and Failures helps you steer clear of the design and installation flaws behind almost every electrical mishap, malfunction, and disaster.


What's more, this no-nonsense book helps you safeguard and troubleshoot existing installations in all types of facilities. Written by an internationally respected electrical reliability engineer, and perfectly suited for all professionals concerned with electrical safety and performance, this guide features:



-Valuable preventive tips and procedures for electrical design, materials, and installations of every description

-Fail-safe techniques for transformers, connectors, plugs, crimped sockets, wires, cables, terminal boards, and every other common type of electrical equipment

-Methods for avoiding metal creep, metal fatigue, joined-connection failure, contact resistance, thermal degradation, shrinkage of nonmetals, and other insulation failures

Whether you're an electrical contractor, inspector, equipment manufacturer, or engineer, Electrical Fires and Failures is the one guide that makes zero failure performance of electrical equipment a reality.
