In this post, we will see the book Industrial Wiring – Manual for Trainee Electricians by G. Polyakov and A. Kovarsky.

About the book

The book is a how to do wiring for high power requirements. The book is divided into six parts. The first part deals with fundamentals of electric power supplies till 500 volts. This includes generation of electric power, and various installations used for setting up systems with 500 volt threshold. The second part considers setting up of consumer electrical circuits upto 500 volts. The third part gives an overview of cables and aerial lines. Part four deals with high voltage substations and has discussions on the equipments used, protective relays and signal circuits and switchgears for these substations. Part five discusses power equipments in form of high powered motors both AC and DC and their control mechanisms. Final sixth part discusses maintenance and safety issues.

The book was translated from Russian by J. A. Feinberg and was published in 1961 by  Progress Publishers.
