Electric Power Distribution Handbook
By Thomas Allen Short
Of the -Big Three- components of electrical infrastructure, distribution usually gets the least attention. In fact, a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the subject has not been published for years, but deregulation and technical changes have increased the need for better information. To fill this void, the Power Distribution Guide provides comprehensive and sophisticated coverage of the electrical aspects of power distribution systems. The first few chapters of this practical guide focus on equipment-oriented information and applications, such as the selection of transformer connections, resizing and placing capacitors, and the status of regulators. The middle part discusses reliability and energy quality, while the end addresses lightning protection, ground, and safety.
