Standards, codes, and guidelines listed above and referenced in every chapter of this book are widely used by the engineers in the industry, both as directives and guides. When working in another country, the local standards must also be applicable. This book refers to and often presents data courtesy of these engineering standards, which are considered one of the major sources of guidelines and good engineering practices for engineers.

The standards and codes are extremely important. Actually, there are three parts to your success as an experienced engineer:

1 Understanding the applicable standards and knowing how and where to apply them.

2 Referring to the suppliers' equipment catalogs and reviewing the graphs and performance data sheets to determine the proper equipment ratings and supplies for your specific applications.

3 Building experience by field reviews of the equipment performance and its related hardware.
