Professor Mark Coates, ERA Technology Ltd, Surrey, UK Professor Coates is an internationally renowned expert on current ratings for high and low voltage cable systems. He joined ERA Technology in 1983 and is currently Head of Cables at ERA's Engineering Consultancy business. His areas of expertise include measurement of the thermal properties of cable materials, calculation of heat flow through complex thermal paths, MV partial discharge, breakdown testing and life prediction using statistical analysis. He has been one of the leading contributors to the work of IEC Technical Committee 20 (Electric Cables). Professor Coates is an active member of the IEE/BSI Committee concerned with electrical installations, BS7671. Before joining ERA, he spent several years as a plant engineer in the chemical and textile industry. Mr Brian D. Jenkins, (deceased), formerly British Standards Institution

"This essential book fills the gap between software and manual calculations. It provides the reader with all the necessary tools to enable accurate calculations of circuit designs. Rather than complex equations, this book uses extensive worked examples to make understanding the calculations simpler." (Broadcastnewsroom, 20 October 2010).
