  • Audio IC Projects

    A Collection of Useful Circuits Based on Readily Available Chips
    • 1st Edition
    • October 22, 2013
    • Keith Brindley
    • English
    Each of the projects in this collection of data files provides a 'building block' which constructors can use to experiment with components and use as a starting point for further development. This book will thus provide a toolkit for building audio systems and circuits based on readily available components using straightforward techniques.Maplin staff are experienced providers of project ideas with useful features and many applications. Each of the circuits in this book are based around readily available chips, and provide an excellent way to become familiar with the characteristics of the chip as well as providing construction details for useful projects. Each includes pinouts and pin designations, output waveforms, parts lists, circuit diagrams, PCB layouts and photographs of the boards. The projects described in this book are based on those appearing in the popular Data Files feature in Electronics, the Maplin Magazine.

  • Practical Electrical Equipment and Installations in Hazardous Areas

    • 1st Edition
    • February 15, 2005
    • Geoffrey Bottrill + 2 more
    • English
    This book provides the reader with an understanding of the hazards involved in using electrical equipment in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres. It is based on the newly adopted international IEC79 Series of Standards that are now harmonizing and replacing older national Standards. Explosion-proof installations can be expensive to design, install and operate. The strategies and techniques described in this book can significantly reduce costs whilst maintaining plant safety. The book explains the associated terminology and its correct use - from Area Classification through to the selection of explosion-protected electrical apparatus, describing how protection is achieved and maintained in line with these international requirements. The IEC standards require that engineering staff and their management are trained effectively and safely in Hazardous Areas, and this book is designed to help fulfill that need. A basic understanding of instrumentation and electrical theory would be of benefit to the reader, but no previous knowledge of hazardous area installation is required.

  • Practical Grounding, Bonding, Shielding and Surge Protection

    • 1st Edition
    • July 21, 2004
    • G Vijayaraghavan + 2 more
    • English
    This book will allow you to gain practical skills and know-how in grounding, bonding, lightning & surge protection. Few topics generate as much controversy and argument as that of grounding and the associated topics of surge protection, shielding and lightning protection of electrical and electronic systems. Poor grounding practice can be the cause of continual and intermittent difficult-to-diagnos... problems in a facility. This book looks at these issues from a fresh yet practical perspective and enables you to reduce expensive downtime on your plant and equipment to a minimum by correct application of these principles.Learning outcomes:* Apply the various methods of grounding electrical systems* Detail the applicable national Standards* Describe the purposes of grounding and bonding* List the types of systems that cannot be grounded* Describe what systems can be operated ungrounded* Correctly shield sensitive communications cables from noise and interference* Apply practical knowledge of surge and transient protection* Troubleshoot and fix grounding and surge problems* Design, install and test an effective grounding system for electronic equipment* Understand lightning and how to minimize its impact on your facility* Protect sensitive equipment from lightning

  • Practical Power Distribution for Industry

    • 1st Edition
    • July 16, 2004
    • Jan De Kock + 1 more
    • English
    The book provides technical know-how not covered by most universities and colleges in a subject that is central to the roles of many electrical engineers in industry, focusing on switchgear, power cables, power factor correction, and network studies.

  • Digital Design for Interference Specifications

    A Practical Handbook for EMI Suppression
    • 2nd Edition
    • January 15, 2000
    • David Terrell + 1 more
    • English
    Based on over twenty years of hands-on experience with electromagnetic interference (EMI), Digital Design for Interference Specifications provides circuit designers concrete rules that can be applied immediately to the design of new digital products. The authors' techniques emphasize EMI source suppression at the printed circuit board level and considers shielding only as a last resort. The material is written in a how-to format with brief qualitative explanations of why or how design recommendations suppress emissions or reduce susceptibility. The described approaches toward design and prevention of EMI will save manufacturers time, product cost, and enhance manufacturability. Best of all, designers will not have to be EMI gurus to implement these processes but they will definitely look like experts when the final outcome is assessed.Digital Design for Interference Specifications is a very well written book targeted directly toward circuit designers and EMI professionals. The authors built a consulting company out of the knowledge presented in the book working with a huge list of clients over the years. The material is written to directly apply to circuit designers' projects helping them save money and time on each design. The book is heavily and clearly illustrated.

  • EMC for Systems and Installations

    • 1st Edition
    • December 6, 1999
    • Tim Williams + 1 more
    • English
    This is a guide for the system designers and installers faced with the day-to-day issues of achieving EMC, and will be found valuable across a wide range of roles and sectors, including process control, manufacturing, medical, IT and building management. The EMC issues covered will also make this book essential reading for product manufacturers and suppliers - and highly relevant for managers as well as technical staff. The authors' approach is thoroughly practical - all areas of installation EMC are covered, with particular emphasis on cabling and earthing. Students on MSc and CPD programmes will also find in this book some valuable real-world antidotes to the academic treatises. The book is presented in two parts: the first is non-technical, and looks at the need for EMC in the context of systems and installations, with a chapter on the management aspects of EMC. The second part covers the technical aspects of EMC, looking at the various established methods which can be applied to ensure compatibility, and setting these in the context of the new responsibilities facing system builders. EMC for Systems and Installations is designed to complement Tim Williams' highly successful EMC for Product Designers.
