G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
(OP)
hi everyone!!
I´m new in this forums and it looks great!
I´m electrical engineer involved in Industrial Plant Design.
Since some years ago, i have been looking for the G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book in pdf format.
Any kind of help would be highly appreciated
Best Regards
EgP...

You'll see that the University of Iowa and MIT have it. Now you might be thinking what I thought about a year ago. That doesn't do me any good where I live.
Well, there is something called an interlibrary loan where you just go to your local library and they can probably arrange a loan with one of those two. I did this at my local big city library and 7-10 laters, I'm walking out of the library with this book in my hands! For free!
I know that isn't as good as getting a free pdf instantly. But, trust me, I tried to find it on the net from all different angles and came up completely empty handed.

I believe the correct title is Industrial Power Systems Handbook, with Donald Beeman as the editor, published by McGraw-Hill in 1955.
It shows up on amazon.com occasionally for about $200. (Years ago I found mine in a trash can when a middle mananger retired.)
RE: G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
The original book was a loose leaf book published by GE. they were free if you were in the right place and job. They were about 1000 pages and bound in a bider with rods not rings. Sometime in the early seventies (or maby before) they stopped printing them.
Beeman worked for GE and lots of the material in the Data book went into it.

I have posted it once before. It is one o fthe best treatments of DC short circuits I have seen.
RE: G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
Thanks for sharing that file!
But, while you may be aware of it, others may not realize that that file's 8 pages are only the last of five sections under the tab "D-C System Short-circuit Current Calculations." The first four sections are:
Short-circuit Characteristics of D-c Motors and Generators (9 pages)
Short-circuit Characteristics of Electronic Power Converters (8 pages)
Short-circuit Characteristics of Lead-acid Storage Batteries (2 pages)
Short-circuit Characteristics of Synchronous Converters (2 pages)
It is the first of these for DC motors and generators that I have found the most helpful. The transient resistance numbers discussed for these machines are absolutely critical to any fault current analysis involving these machines. The bibliography for that first section may also represent the best of the old AIEE white papers on this subject.
RE: G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
Ive'e gpt them all ( the whole 1,000 pages + 0r - ). I thought someday I would get around to scanning them but now I don't have to.
RE: G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
RE: G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
If you ever find yourself with time to scan that lot then please post the whole thing. You got any apprentices at your place? Sounds like a great job for an apprentice or an intern...

I guess I can't appreciate what the insight of the Beeman book is if it is focuses on AC analyses? Seems that there has been 50 years of follow-up in that area. But, DC fault current studies, now that's an area that appears to me to have had no follow-up since roughly 1955!
RE: G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
i would like to add my name to the list of people chasing Donald Beeman's masterpiece. You will surely make a lot of people happy if you can share with us your book in pdf format. just what scottyuk and jon47532 said it may be a public domain now. besides its a GE publication which is given away for free to their clients so perhaps it would be ok sharing it online.

I downloaded it, but now I fear I am now going to delete it: I absolutely can not bear that analogy!

Please use some sections of this book with caution.It was written long before the large increase in harmonic producing loads appeared on the electrical systems.

RE: G.E. Industrial Power Systems Data Book
BJC, isn't the beer analogy just the opposite...lots of foam represents low power factor; i.e., a waste of circuit capacity, where minimal foam {high power factor} is more efficient use of circuit capacity?
