Electrical Measuring Instruments and Measurements (Hardcover)

This book, written for the benefit of engineering students and practicing engineers alike, is the culmination of the author's four decades of experience related to the subject of electrical measurements, comprising nearly 30 years of experimental research and more than 15 years of teaching at several engineering institutions.

The unique feature of this book, apart from covering the syllabi of various universities, is the style of presentation of all important aspects and features of electrical measurements, with neatly and clearly drawn figures, diagrams and colour and b/w photos that illustrate details of instruments among other things, making the text easy to follow and comprehend. Enhancing the chapters are interspersed explanatory comments and, where necessary, footnotes to help better understanding of the chapter contents. Also, each chapter begins with a "recall" to link the subject matter with the related science or phenomenon and fundamental background.

The first few chapters of the book comprise "Units, Dimensions and Standards"; "Electricity, Magnetism and Electromagnetism" and "Network Analysis". These topics form the basics of electrical measurements and provide a better understanding of the main topics discussed in later chapters. The last two chapters represent valuable assets of the book, and relate to (a) "Magnetic Measurements", describing many unique features not easily available elsewhere, a good study of which is essential for the design and development of most electric equipment – from motors to transformers and alternators, and (b) "Measurement of Non-electrical Quantities", dealing extensively with the measuring techniques of a number of variables that constitute an important requirement of engineering measurement practices.

The book is supplemented by ten appendices covering various aspects dealing with the art and science of electrical measurement and of relevance to some of the topics in main chapters. Other useful features of the book include an elaborate chapter-by-chapter list of symbols, worked examples, exercises and quiz questions at the end of each chapter, and extensive authors' and subject index.

This book will be of interest to all students taking courses in electrical measurements as a part of a B.Tech. in electrical engineering. Professionals in the field of electrical engineering will also find the book of use.

這本書是為了工程學生和實踐工程師而寫的，是作者四十年來在電氣測量領域的經驗的結晶，其中包括近30年的實驗研究和超過15年在幾所工程學院的教學經驗。

這本書的獨特之處在於除了涵蓋各大學的課程大綱外，還以整齊清晰的圖片、圖表和彩色和黑白照片來呈現電氣測量的所有重要方面和特點，這些圖片和照片詳細說明了儀器等細節，使得文本易於理解和跟踪。每章還穿插了解釋性的評論和必要時的註腳，以幫助更好地理解章節內容。此外，每章開始時都有一個“回顧”，將主題與相關科學或現象以及基礎背景聯繫起來。

本書的前幾章包括“單位、尺寸和標準”；“電力、磁力和電磁力學”以及“網絡分析”。這些主題構成了電氣測量的基礎，並提供了對後面章節中討論的主要主題的更好理解。最後兩章是本書的寶貴資產，涉及到(a)“磁性測量”，描述了許多在其他地方難以找到的獨特特點，對於大多數電氣設備的設計和開發（從馬達到變壓器和發電機）是必不可少的，以及(b)“非電量測量”，詳細介紹了測量技術，這些技術是工程測量實踐的重要要求。

本書還附有十個附錄，涵蓋了與電氣測量的藝術和科學以及主要章節中的一些相關主題有關的各種方面。本書的其他有用特點包括每章的符號詳細列表、例題、練習題和每章末的測驗問題，以及廣泛的作者和主題索引。

這本書對於修讀電氣工程學士學位課程中的電氣測量課程的所有學生都會感興趣。電氣工程領域的專業人士也會發現這本書很有用。
