Introduction:

Electricity has become a part and parcel of the modern society and we cannot think of leading a normal life in this world without electricity. Therefore, the knowledge of electrical engineering has become essential to successfully utilize the electrical energy and operate the electrical equipment not only for the electrical engineers but also for non-electrical engineers. 
In this course certain important aspects of electrical engineering required for non-electrical engineers and the operating principles of some commonly used electrical devices will be dealt with. Basic principles of protection of electrical components and human operators and safety procedures which are essential for non-electrical engineers are clearly explained.
