Poor power quality can damage computers, phone systems and other microelectronic devices. This book provides a non-mathematical guide to basic power-quality strategies and methods used to protect electronic systems. Changes in both the nature of microelectronic devices (their increasing sensitivity) and the power grid (the increasing stress upon it) are reflected in this new edition, which features over 200 pages of new material and is nearly twice the size of the first edition. Key features of this book include coverage of: maintaining power quality in distributed generation systems; benchmarking power quality; and power quality in new electric wiring.
