About this ebook
The book starts with explaining the three phase a.c. circuit analysis with balanced and unbalanced loads, concept of transmission, distribution and power system protection. The discussion of tariff and power factor improvement is also added in support. The book further explains single phase and three phase transformers. Then book provides the detailed discussion of d.c. generators and motors. The book also includes the discussion of three phase and single phase induction motors, synchronous generators, synchronous motors and other motors such as stepper motor, brushless d.c. motor and universal motor. The book covers the classification and basic requirements of a measuring instrument. Then the book explains the static and dynamic characteristics and types of errors in measuring instruments. The book provides in depth discussion of electronic multimeter and oscilloscope. The book teaches the details of various types of transducers like resistive, inductive, capacitive, thermoelectric, piezoelectric, photoelectric and Hall effect transducers.
The book uses plain, simple and lucid language to explain each topic. Each chapter gives the conceptual knowledge about the topic dividing it in the various sections and subsections. Each chapter provides the detailed explanation of the topic, practical examples and variety of solved problems. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.
About the author
Prof. Uday A. Bakshi graduated in Electrical Engineering with 4th rank from the University of Pune in 1989. He completed his M.E. (Controls) from the University of Pune.
After graduation, he started his career as Visiting Lecturer in Bharati Vidyapeeth's College of Engineering, Pune, and PVG's College of Engineering and Technology, Pune. Then he continued as a lecturer at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune.
While working in VIT, he introduced new concepts in teaching methods. He also introduced the concept of Quality Circle at the educational institute level. The Quality Circle, started by him at VIT, got recognition at the national level. While working in VIT, he conducted training programs in various industries like Bajaj Auto, Bharat Electronics, Cummins, etc. He developed many small models and projects in Electrical Department of VIT to teach engineering subjects concepts. At the same time, he published his first book on Feedback Control Systems which got an overwhelming response all over India.
After leaving VIT, he was Joint Director of Noble Institute of Computer Training, Pune. Due to his dedicated teaching and endless efforts, many students from this institute got admission to ranked U.S. universities with an assistantship.
After that, he started his coaching classes to impart thorough knowledge to the engineering students of various engineering subjects. Professor Bakshi simultaneously published many engineering books. The books written by him are recommended by multiple Indian and foreign universities in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He has a total of 30 years of teaching and writing experience in the field of engineering.
His primary interest is to indoctrinate engineering subjects' psychology and make the topics easy to understand and enjoyable through his books to the engineering students.
