The electric relay is one of the most frequently used devices in modern technological systems, yet broad information is difficult to locate. There are so many types that most engineers are familiar with only a limited number of relays applicable to very specific devices. This book contains a complete description of electrical relays, their principles of operation, and applications for all basic types. It includes the historical background for various types and discusses the issues of design and the operation principles of relay components for complicated types of relays. The author uses clear...

Is it possible to design and make automatic devices for industrial and power engineering without microcircuits and microprocessors and without complex power supplies?

Electronic Devices on Discrete Components for Industrial and Power Engineering answers the question above with a resounding Yes by describing ten original automatic devices based exclusively on modern discrete components. The book reveals that devices based on high-voltage transistors and thyristors as well as miniature vacuum and high power gas-filled reed switches are actually much simpler to...

Power Supply Devices and Systems of Relay Protection brings relay protection and electrical power engineers a single, concentrated source of information on auxiliary power supply systems and devices. The book also tackles specific problems and solutions of relay protection power supply systems and devices, which are often not dealt with in the literature. The author, an experienced engineer with more than 100 patents, draws on his own experience to offer practical, tested advice to readers.
