BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Basic Electrical Engineering is a core course for the first-year students of all engineering disciplines across the country. This course enables them to apply the basic concepts of Electrical engineering for multi-disciplinary tasks, and also lays the foundation for higher level courses in electrical and electronics engineering degrees.

An established hallmark, this revised edition of the book continues to dwell on all the key concepts and applications in the field and covers the subject in its entirety. Curated with great care, it provides an unmatched exposure to fundamentals of Electricity, Network theory, Electric machines, and Measuring instruments. Rich pool of problems and appendices enhance the utility of the book and make it a lasting resource for students as well as instructors.

Highlights:

1. Complete coverage of latest AICTE curriculum

2. New chapters on • Renewable Energy Sources • Semiconductor devices and their applications • DC-DC converters and Inverters • Digital Electronics and Communication Engineering

3. New appendices on • Electrical Safety • Applications of Electrical motors • Components of cells and battery • Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

4. Supports outcome-based learning approach

Basic Electrical Engineering has been written as a core course for all engineering students viz. electronics and communication engineering, computer engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering etc. Since this course will normally be offered at the first year level of engineering, the author has made modest effort to give in a concise form, various features of Basic Electrical Engineering using simple language and thorough solved examples, avoiding the rigorous of mathematics.

This book deals with the fundamentals of electrical engineering concepts like design & application of circuitry, equipment for power generation & distribution and machine control.
