The first photographic tour of the surface of another planet has now been accomplished. Those who thrilled at the lunar beauty of Full Moon and the Imax smash hit, Roving Mars, will marvel at this awesome, vivid and beautiful portrait of the red planet. Jim Bell led the photography team in the historic mobile Robert mission to Mars. With his unique perspective, these images take the viewer from the brave launches of these robots to the alien landscape they discovered and the mysteries of the planet they helped to solve.

Genre: Electric power distribution
ISBN: 9780738159409

Abstract: This recommended practice encompasses the monitoring of electrical characteristics of single-phase and polyphase ac power systems. It includes consistent descriptions of conducted electromagnetic phenomena occurring on power systems. This recommended practice describes nominal conditions and deviations from these nominal conditions that may originate within the source of supply or load equipment or may originate from interactions between the source and the load. Also, this recommended practice discusses power quality monitoring devices, application techniques, and the interpretation of monitoring results. Keywords: assessment, compatibility, dip, distortion, electromagnetic phenomena, harmonics, imbalance, instruments, monitoring, power quality, rms variation, sag, swell, transient, unbalance.

Genre: Electric substations
ISBN: 9780738103273

Rigid-bus structures for outdoor and indoor, air-insulated, and alternating-current substations are covered. Portions of this guide are also applicable to strain-bus structures or direct-current substations, or both. Ampacity, radio influence, vibration, and forces due to gravity, wind, fault current, and thermal expansion are considered. Design criteria for conductor and insulator strength calculations are included.
