Description
Diesel Generator Handbook meets the need for an authoritative reference work covering the range of mechanical and electrical topics embodied
in the practical design and application of diesel generating plant. It will be particularly welcomed in many parts of the developing
world where the diesel generator is basic to the electricity supply system.
The discussion covers, in fifteen chapters, the prime
mover, power ratings, synchronous generators, load assessment, control principles and systems, switchgear and controlgear, standby power,
fuels and lubricating oilss, installation and commissioning, noise reduction, and plant operation and maintenance.
The book thus caters
for all who are concerned with the selection, specification, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of diesel-based generator
systems: not only the practising plant or services engineers, but also non-specialist engineers and users. The young technician or trainee
engineer who is embarking on a career in the supply industry will find this handbook an invaluable investment.
L L J Mahon, FIEE, FBIM,
after an engineering apprenticeship with BTH in Rugby, gained over 30 years' experience in the design, development, manufacture, installation
and commissioning of both stationary and highly specialised mobile diesel generator plant for a range of applications.
