Book for designing low voltage switches

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding a suitable book that covers low voltage electrical switching hardware, including circuit breakers, motor starters, and automatic transfer switches. Participants explore the definition of low voltage and seek resources that specifically address this topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests recommendations for books on low voltage electrical switching hardware.
  • Another participant questions the definition of low voltage, asking if 24V qualifies as low voltage and requests clarification on specific products of interest.
  • A participant clarifies that they are referring to low voltage power as 240V and provides an example of an Automatic Transfer Switch.
  • One participant admits a lack of expertise in the area and suggests searching for resources related to "electrical power systems control" without providing specific book recommendations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the definition of low voltage, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding specific book recommendations.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the varying definitions of low voltage and the lack of specific book suggestions. The scope of expertise among participants varies, affecting the quality of recommendations.

Hi,
Can anybody suggest a good book that discuss low voltage electrical switching hardware like circuit breakers, motor starters, automatic tranfser switches..etc? I can't seem to find any book that focuses on this.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
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.
