Product Description
The Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers has served the EE field for nearly a century. Originally published in 1907, through 14 previous editions it has been a required resource for students and professionals. This new 15th edition features new material focusing on power generation and power systems operation – two longstanding strengths of the handbook that have recently become front-burner technology issues. At the same time, the entire format of the handbook will be streamlined, removing archaic sections and providing a quick, easy look-up experience.

 Excellent book for your EE library October 29, 2004

I checked out the 12th edition of this book from the library and found it to be an excellent resource. Very informative covering detailed aspects of many areas of EE design. Lots of figures, tables and pictues showing you what equipment and systems look like if you've never seen them before. The 14th edition is very similiar, only larger pages and updated figures and content. This is an excellent resource.

I had an old version and replace it with this version. Not much updating. Still a good reference for electrical distribtion engineers but was disappointed with the lack of topics fromn the last 20 years.
Didn't find helpful for PE review January 19, 2010
The Bus (NC, United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After having the book for over a couple weeks and not using it for a single reason while studying for the POWER PE, I've decided to return it. It's not worth $130 in my mind. Sure, it has some good stuff in it, but that's a lot of money for a book that I may never use again. I honestly don't think it would help during the test, and if I'm at home or at work I can easily find better information in a different reference book or online. I should also note, I TRIED, MANY TIMES to use it to look up topics while studying but it was completely useless, in my opinion. I'm sure somebody can find it useful, but not I. Hope this helps you out.
 Tables are just scanned from printed version and unreadable May 10, 2010
David J. Minerath
I tried the preview on the Kindle for iPad app, and it was barely useable at best. The tables were just scanned from the printed version, in a resolution that rendered the tables unusable when enlarged to be readable. The few graphics I saw were OK though.
Note to Amazon.com: turn up the resolution when scanning images from the printed version for use in the Kindle version. A table that is enlarged so the text is of readable size ness to be, well, readable.
