Book for designing low voltage switches

In summary, the conversation discusses a request for a book recommendation on low voltage electrical switching hardware, specifically circuit breakers, motor starters, and automatic transfer switches. The person seeking the recommendation clarifies that they are referring to low voltage power, such as 240V, and provides an example of an automatic transfer switch. They also mention that this is not their area of expertise and suggest googling "electrical power systems control" for more resources.

Not sure what you mean by low voltage. Is 24V low voltage? (to some it is). Do you have an example of a product that you want to understand better?

This is not my area of expertise (electrical transmission and control).

Google "electrical power systems control" and look at the credits in the various papers, other amazon books, etc, and read the reviews

Sorry I have no specific suggestions.
 

1. What is the purpose of a book for designing low voltage switches?

A book for designing low voltage switches is a reference guide that provides information and guidelines for designing and constructing low voltage switches, which are used to control and regulate electrical circuits with lower voltage levels.

2. Who can benefit from a book for designing low voltage switches?

Engineers, electricians, and other professionals in the electrical industry can benefit from a book for designing low voltage switches. It can also be useful for students studying electrical engineering or related fields.

3. What topics are covered in a book for designing low voltage switches?

A book for designing low voltage switches typically covers topics such as the fundamentals of low voltage circuits, design principles, components and materials, safety considerations, and troubleshooting techniques.

4. Are there any specific codes or standards mentioned in a book for designing low voltage switches?

Yes, a book for designing low voltage switches may mention relevant codes and standards, such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, which provide guidelines for safe and efficient electrical installations.

5. Can a book for designing low voltage switches be used for designing high voltage switches as well?

While the design principles and techniques may be similar, a book for designing low voltage switches may not be suitable for designing high voltage switches, as they require specialized knowledge and considerations. It is important to consult appropriate resources for designing high voltage switches.
