Editorial Reviews

An undersized reference to the use of portable meters for the testing and maintenance of electrical systems in industrial plants. A number of chapters explain the functions of analog meters, digital multimeters, and other testing instruments. The majority of the book is devoted to troubleshooting advice for dry-type transformers, fluorescent lamps and fixtures, incandescent lighting, HID lamps, electric motors, motor bearings, and contactors and relays.
