Siemens Power Engineering Handbook

This fundamentally revised and updated new edition of the established Power Engineering Guide is a manual for everyone who is involved in the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy – from system planning, to implementation and control. Our guide is designed to assist engineers, technicians, planners and advisors and support students, trainees, electrical engineering teachers and energy technology teachers (including university lecturers). Beyond that, we hope Power Engineering Guide will also be useful as a reference work for technical questions and in supporting continuing education in technical fi elds. Our guide is organized by product and function, covering the entire portfolio of Siemens products for the transmission and distribution of electrical power – including high, medium and low voltage, switching substations and transformers and switchgear. It also covers solutions in the areas of automation, energy management and network communication, as well as service and support. The guide’s most important terms and abbreviations are explained in a handy appendix, and Internet addresses are provided for additional in-depth information. Siemens’ products, systems and integrated, complete solutions benefi t customers by meeting a wide range of different, local requirements. They represent the key technologies of the future and set global standards. The connecting theme of all developments and innovations – which also affect methods and processes – are effi ciency, environmental compatibility, reliability and economy.
