A multicolor edition of Vol.II of A Textbook of Electrical Technology to keep pace with the ever-increasing scope of essential and morden technical information,the syllabi are frequently revised.This often result into compressing established facts to accommodate recent information in the syllabi.Fields of power-electronics and industrial power-conditioners have grown considerably resulting into changed priority of topics related to electrical machines.Switched reluctance-motors tend to threaten the most popular squirrel-cage induction motors due to their increased ruggedness,better performance including controllability and equal ease with which they suit rotary as well as linear-motion-applications.

The objective of this edition is to provide the engineering students of various universities of India and abroad a complete and comprehensive book of Electrical Technology in one Volume entitled. A Textbook of Electrical Technology with adequate details which will help the engineering aspirants to cope up with today s highly competitive world. Efforts have been made to present an integrated treatment with sufficient depth of the essentials of Electrical Engineering and Solid State Electronics suitable for use by electrical as well as non electrical students.
