Paul Gill’s original book, Electrical Equipment Testing and Maintenance (1982), and the first edition, Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing published in 1997, were the fi rst two books that addressed the practical aspects of electrical testing and maintenance of power system equipment and apparatus. Both books presented testing methodologies and engineering basics on the subject of electrical testing and maintenance in one volume. Considered the electrical test�ing and maintenance “bible,” Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing has been the leading treatise on the subject and an essential reference book for engineers and technicians concerned with the maintenance and testing of elec�trical power system equipment and apparatus. Both of these textbooks were a must read for the plant electrical engineer and plant maintenance technician as well as for electrical engineering graduates and students. The fi rst edition has become a required reading for institutions offering electrical testing and main�tenance curricula. The fi rst edition has also been an invaluable aid for techni�cians studying for the InterNational Electrical Testing Association’s (NETA) levels II, III, and IV test technician examinations and is a valued reference for engineers and technicians in the electrical testing industry
