Preventing Electrical Fire And Failures

Fires resulting from failure of electrical equipment is fairly common. A close scrutiny of such fires often reveals that the origin of most of the electrical fires lies either in poor connectors and terminal boards or in defective protective gear such as fuses. Most of the electrical fires could be prevented through improvements in installation and design of minor components and correct design/maintenance of protective gear. The author of this immensely thought provoking book points out that Zero Failure Performance is a realistic and easily attainable target. The book gives a number of simple DOs and DONTs which the supervisors and engineers can follow to attain the goal of Zero Failure Performance. Written in an easy and non-jargonistic style, the book should be of tremendous use to front-line electrical supervisors, engineers and managers of all industries which generate, distribute, and utilise electrical energy. The text is suitably aided by a number of illustrations, charts, tables and photographs.
