Editorial Reviews: The most comprehensive book on this subject available! A virtual encyclopedia of electrical safety, this latest edition features a new structure. The author rewrote and re-ordered the chapters, either to better reflect today's perspective or to clarify the presentation. Magison expanded his treatment of theory and principles to provide a foundation for addressing some of the questions that arise when no standard or regulation exists. He also added more practical examples of applying principles in real situations. Recognizing the fact that the book's subject matter is truly an international concern, Magison increased the amount of space devoted to work outside North America.

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: An Encyclopedia of Electrical Safety Comment: This book really is a comprehensive encyclopedia of electrical safety, this latest edition features expanded treatment of theory and principles to provide a foundation for addressing some of the questions that arise when no standard or regulation exists. Also includes more practical examples of applying principles in real situations, including global operations and applications. The book is organized to cover the following topics: - Historical background and perspective. - Combustion and explosion fundamentals. - Classification of hazardous locations and combustible materials. - Practice and principles of hazard reduction practice - Explosion proof enclosures. - Reduction of hazard by pressurization. - Encapsulation, sealing, and immersion. - Increased safety, type of protection. - Ignition of gases and vapors by electrical means. - Intrinsically safe and nonincendive systems. - Design and evaluation of intrinsically safe apparatus, intrinsically safe systems, and nonincendive systems. - Ignition by optical sources. - Dust hazards. - Human safety. - Degree of protection by enclosures. APPENDICES: - Derivation of initial purge volume requirement. - Example of derivations. I am an Industrial Practitioner of Process Measurement & Control who has been working in the Oil & Gas Industry for more than 16 years as an Automation, Instrumentation, Process Safety and Process Control Engineer. I found this book to be an unvaluable reference in my day-to-day work, being also an excellent refresher on electrical safety. Customer Rating: Summary: good Comment: helped a bit , but it needs to be more specific, tends to skip the subjects and not explain them clearly enough for the user to understand and get a general idea of the subject More Reviews
