Title: Electrical Engineer's Portable Handbook Author(s): Robert B. Hickey, Robert Hickey Pages: 575 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional; 2 edition Publication date: 2003 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 0071418202 ISBN-13: Description: The first edition of this title proved the most successful of the Portable Handbook series launched in 1999. Aimed at electrical engineers and technicians working in building power systems, the relentlessly practical Handbook succeeded as an in the field working tool. This new edition is necessitated by the new 2002 version of the National Electrical Code (NEC). This code changes render much of the existing material obsolete, so over half the chapters require heavy rewrites to stay current.
Power Quality Assurance, January 2000
The power quality engineer working in the field is often faced with having to design or modify field installations without the benefif of his libary and reference books...The Electrical Engineer's Portable Hanbook is intened to alleviate this problem by being an all-in-one, quick guide to sizing cable, conduit, motor starters, transformers, service entrances, and to perform short circuit studies, transformer ratings, voltage drop calculations -- to name a few.
...If you are a design engineer, consultant, electrical construction cost estimator or facilities engineer you need a copy of the Electrical Engineers Portable Handbook in your briefcase.
Review:
Well, It is Portable
This is a good collection of useful information in compact form. I like the old tables that are missing in newer editions of the NEC. When odering this book, be sure to get a good magnifying glass. Lots of 3 pt text here.

Thomas E. Robinson
Good reference source for electrical power-related engineering work. However, would be good if it had current National Electrical Code info instead of the previous NEC revision. This is my only complaint.
Review:
Electricial Engineers Portable Handbook
I have found this book to be very helpful for the electricial industry. There is much information available which can only be found by using many other publicatons or information available only from the manufactor of the equipment. It covers services, and grounding of electricial systems. It also covers fire protection systems, motors and lighting. There are many charts and graphs in the book. I would recommend this book for anyone in the electricial field.
