Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

(OP)
Hi

I m trying to select some technical magazines and manuals for our electric department. Can somebody help me in the selection.


Thanks

RE: Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

What is your business (commercial, industrial, utility)? What voltage and KVA levels are you working with?

RE: Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

(OP)
We are an oil plant. Our working voltage levels are 11kV, 3.3kV and 415 V 50 Hz. 20.38 kW x 3 Generating units.

RE: Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

I am U.S. based so I don't know if these will be of any help to you are not. The magazines I would recommend are:
EC&M (Electrical Construction and Maintenance)    http://www.ecmweb.com/

Transmission and Distribution World
http://tw.pbsub.com/

NEC Digest
http://www.nfpa.org/nec/

I would recommend the IEEE Color Book series, especially the Red Book which is the "Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants"

I would also recommend the NEC Handbook because it provides many illustrations on how to install equipment correctly.

RE: Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

 
Another may be Industry Applications Society transactions, www.ieee-pcic.org
  

RE: Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

Also, the IEEE Industry Applications Magazine.  Subscription comes with Society membership.

And Electrical Construction & Maintenance, http://ecmweb.com/

RE: Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

If you are involved in electric motor issues, another good paper magazine (not available on-line yet) is Electrical Apparatus, the magazine for the motor rewinding industry. Although oriented towards the North American market, it is a great resource for many motor and transformer issues even if you are a user instead of a service shop.

Along those line, you can view the EASA (Elec. Apparatus Service Assoc.) website for additional resources and links.

"Venditori de oleum-vipera non vigere excordis populi"


RE: Technical Magazines / Manuals for Electrical Engineers

This is an excellent magazine for buildings and commercial systems, although it covers a broad range of engineering and construction topics. It has frequent articles on electrical topics.
