Fundamentals Of Maintenance Of Electrical Equipments

In the present edition of this book, I have undertaken a thorough revision of the subject. Three important factors underlying the revision have been : Firstly the modified set up of the relevant portion of some chapters, secondly the addition to my own experience in the field and thirdly the most in valuable suggestions given to my fellow colleagues, teachers and students. Most of the existing chapters i.e. Chapter Nos. 1,8,9, 13, 16 have been revised thoroughly and carefully and extended in a befitting manner to fulfil the requirements of the taught of today. Two new Chapters i.e. chapters No. 23 and 24 on 'Control Gears and Contactors' 'Remote Control System' respectively have also been added to this revised edition.
