      Foreword

      The backbone of electrical engineering is the power system, and it is one of the first things that a student in EE needs to learn. There are quite a large number of text books for courses on basics of electrical and instrumentation; this one presents a very simple, concise and clean approach that should make the subject very easily accessible to students. It will be particularly useful for revision after class lectures, and self study.

      The first chapter introduces the student to the basic concepts of AC and DC power, voltage, current and the main constituents of a power system. In the subsequent chapters, students are introduced to DC and AC machines, as well as the basic tenets of measurement and instrumentation in the context of power systems. Chapter 2 describes the construction and operation of single phase and three phase transformers, while Chapter 3 does the same for DC machines. Chapter 4 covers AC machines, both induction machines and synchronous machines. Chapter 5 provides a brief exposition on simple measuring instruments and their operation. This should serve as a useful first introduction to power systems, before referencing advanced literature.

      The authors have nicely blended their academic foundation with some industrial insight to make this book relevant and direct. I commend them on their work.
