520 _aA standard work on the installation, maintenance, and operation of marine electrical equipment since its first publication in 1957 as a guide for engineers preparing for competency exams and a reference for seagoing engineers and electricians. Changes since the 5th edition (1981) include new or expanded discussions of programmable electronic systems, protection and discrimination, impressed cathodic protection, and other recent technological advances and changes in standards.
