Search in google:
The Only Comprehensive Guide to Distribution and Transmission Line Technology — Updated with New NEC Rules and Technical AdvancesFirst published in 1928, The Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook has shown generations of line and cable workers how to construct, operate, and maintain electrical transmission and distribution lines, both overhead and underground. Now updated for today’s professionals, the new Eleventh Edition explains the basic principles, equipment, standards, and safety regulations required for optimal on-the-job performance.Filled with over 1500 illustrations, this classic presents unsurpassed coverage of electrical systems, substations, circuits, structures, and construction specifications.The Eleventh Edition features:All the guidance needed to maintain systems at peak capacity, avoid costly errors, diagnose and repair power failures, and ensure safety Contents updated to reflect OSHA, NESC, ANSI, and ASTMstandards This new material: the latest techniques for emergency system restoration, aerial cable construction, padmount capacitors, padmount dead-front switchgear, and composite core conductorsGet Quick Access to Every Distribution and Transmission Topic:* Elementary Electrical Principles • Electric Systems • Substations • Transmission Circuits • Distribution Circuits • Construction Specifications • Wood-Pole Structures • Aluminum, Fiberglass, Concrete, and Steel Structures • Distribution Automation • Emergency System Restoration • Unloading, Hauling, Erecting, and Setting Poles • Guying Poles • Insulators, Crossarms, and Conductor Supports • Line Conductors • Distribution Transformers • Lightning and Surge Protection • Fuses • Switches, Reclosers, and Sectionalizers • Voltage Regulators • Transmission Tower Erection • Stringing Line Conductors • Sagging Line Conductors Thomas M. Shoemaker (Clearwater, FL) is a consulting electrical engineer and Lifetime Senior Member of the IEEE.James E. Mack (Moline, IL) is Manager, Operations Support, at the Mid-American Energy Company. He is an active committee member of the Missouri Valley Electrical Association. He is a member of IEEE and NSPE. Booknews Updating the 1992 edition of the handbook (which premiered in 1928), this reference on standard US electric utility practices is intended as an apprenticeship textbook as well as a home-study resource for field employees of electric utility companies and electric line construction contractors. Safety issuesin keeping with the "National Electrical Safety Code", OSHA, ASTM, and ANSI standardsare interspersed throughout many of the 50 sections on topics such as elementary electrical principles, transmission tower erection, live-line maintenance, tree trimming, and protective equipment. Includes self-testing questions and exercises. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
