Electrical Safety Handbook

Substantially revised and updated, this classic handbook - now presented electronically - is a comprehensive compilation of physical, chemical, material, and mathematical data, encompassing the entire field of electrical engineering. The CD-ROM includes definitions and explanations of nearly 2,000 terms; almost 3,500 equations and formulas, more than 2,000 figures, and 200 tables; software application chapters in each section; extensive bibliographic references; and complete descriptions of applicable U.S. and international professional societies and associations....

This handbook provides a consolidated, comprehensive information resource for engineers working with mission and safety critical systems. Principles, regulations, and processes common to all critical design projects are introduced in the opening chapters. Expert contributors then offer development models, process templates, and documentation guidelines from their own core critical applications fields: medical, aerospace, and military. Readers will gain in-depth knowledge of how to avoid common pitfalls and meet even the strictest certification standards. Particular emphasis is placed on best practices, design tradeoffs, and testing procedures. *Comprehensive coverage of all key concerns for designers of critical systems including standards complianc...
